The latest release in a very sparse yet more than decade-long career, 23 Wheels Of Dharma is Somma‘s (Sacred Order Of Music Magic And Art) first release on RareNoise.
Recorded live at Teatro Dal Verme in Milan in 2007, it features Eraldo Bernocchi on guitars with his partner Petulia Mattioli providing the live visuals, Bill Laswell on bass, Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari , the Faraualla trio and Raiz (of Almamegretta and Meditronica) on vocals, Hamid Drake on drums and norwegian master Nils Petter Molvaer on electrified trumpet, all accompanied and orchestrated by 6 Tibetan Monks.
Veering between jazz, dub , fusion and eastern sonorities, Somma creates a live performance of rare intensity and originality.
