About IDR - A note from Marco Cappelli & Jim Pugliese
IDR is a musical project in search of a bond in a world of emigrants and emigration where traditions flow back and forth sometimes altered and sometimes overlapping. The fact that the ritual music of Southern Italy is the subject of this search happened by chance and was brought about by the fortuituos meeting of two musicians who for various reasons share the devotion to this music and these traditions. But the more important principal is our intuition that ritual music and free improvisation share many aspects of the musical and compositional process.

Nowdays, after a few years of sleep, Roulette gives to us the occasion to take IDR back to life.

That's why we will premiere some new music freely inspired by the great composer Nino Rota.
