Event information
“The improvisational and instrumental delights of Malta’s music master, Renzo Spiteri, are steeped in a creative and groundbreaking pool of talent rarely observed in instrumental world music. Renzo serves up a chilling, mysterious, and forward-thinking musical journey that deserves to be a top spot on the world music/new age charts.” M. Forss, 5/5 album review rating
“A highly charged evening during which he used a large variety of instruments, with some highly original touches and interpretations.” The Times
SILENCE SOUNDS AND SPACES is a multi-faceted and multi-instrumental concept album and solo live performance by RENZO SPITERI, one of Malta's leading musicians and cultural ambassadors. It defines Renzo’s creative journey across the treasured Neolithic sites of The Maltese Islands (most of which enjoy UNESCO World Heritage Site listing), giving them a contemporary musical identity and resulting in an engaging music performance that draws listeners in to Renzo’s personal musical universe.
Silence Sounds and Spaces is about creating a painting in notes and sounds through a transparent and simple score. The music is a tapestry of sounds overlaying each other, weaving ideas together. Featuring unique on-site recordings that exploit the particular natural sonic timbre of the various archaeological sites, and through the use of his extraordinary world of sounds, Renzo conjures powerful images of these stunning historic sites where time stands still.
"When Renzo Spiteri presents his music it is quite an event. This very versatile and creative musician goes beyond being a highly specialised and accomplished percussionist.” The Times
“Renowned for his experimental approach to music, Renzo Spiteri is an artiste who constantly surprises.” The Times
Renzo Spiteri is a creative musician and composer renowned for speaking multiple languages with his hands. He works alongside top-flight names in the music and art scenes, acting as a strong linking point between the music itself and other genres of artistic expression, be it a film, dance choreography, theatre production, literature recital or visual installation. Renzo’s artistic versatility and passion for the creative use of sound have over the years allowed him to develop fresh musical possibilities and unlimited modes of expression. From collaborative projects that undertake to bring together a wide range of musicians, to solo works where there is a spirit of enquiry, Renzo’s artistic sensitivity and penchant for non-traditional approaches to composition have resulted in innovative, inspiring and dynamic performances.
Renzo Spiteri is an endorsed artiste for Toca Percussion, Paiste Cymbals, Yamaha Drums, Schlagwerk Percussion and Gibraltar Hardware.
