Roberto Gatto drums

Conceived, recorded and produced by Giulio Cesare Ricci
No editing. All the tracks on this record are heard as they were performed.

This album is part of the recordings Giulio Cesare made during the concerts of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2023 edition, which he himself organized. The chosen location is the Piaggio Auditorium inside the famous Museum of Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still produces today. The protagonists of FOUR STORIES are 4 great musicians with an extraordinary leader, Roberto Gatto, the greatest Italian jazz drummer, accompanied by Alessandro Presti on trumpet, Matteo Bortone on double bass, and Alessandro Lanzoni on piano. Roberto Gatto has played throughout Europe and the rest of the world with his groups and with international artists. The groups bearing his name are characterized, in addition to an interesting timbral research and impeccable performing technique, by a great warmth typical of Mediterranean culture. This certainly makes Roberto Gatto one of the most interesting drummers and composers in Europe and worldwide. Among the pieces played, many were composed by the artists themselves: The Music next door by R. Gatto, Il valzer della fonderia by A. Presti, Waver by A. Lanzoni, and Victoria Regia by M. Bortone. The album is completed by two very special pieces by Mary Lou Williams and Gary Peacock. For this recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci brought all his equipment, both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, ½”, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters). Regarding microphones, he used his original collection of Neumann U47, U48, M49, as well as the Signoricci microphone preamplifier and cables. Pairs of Neumann tube microphones from 1947 and 1949 (U47, U48, and M49) with a very natural timbre were used, employing bi-microphone field effect techniques. These microphones have an important history: they are, in fact, the original microphones used to record, among others, the Beatles' performances at Abbey Road Studio and by RCA for "Living Stereo" recordings. The sound that Giulio Cesare Ricci manages to capture with these legendary microphones is perfectly in line with his sonic taste. No other microphone has such a true timbre and the ability to record all the nuances of sound and all the richness of harmonics. The uniqueness of these microphones is linked to their ability to perform a perfect "sonic photograph" and to perfectly place the music in the sound space chosen for the recording. This is because for each recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci creates two Masters: an analog master for vinyl and a DSD digital master for SuperAudioCD, as in this case. For this SACD, he used the DSD format, on Pyramix using dCS A/D and D/A DSD converters. From 1998 to today, he has recorded in DSD 64 x 44.1 bit with Signoricci ex Philips workstations equipped with Pyramix programs, dCS 904 analog-to-digital converters, and dCS 954 digital-to-analog converters, all to best realize the fonè SACD. The SACD mastering was done using the entirely analog and tube Signoricci system. A "state-of-the-art" system without sound manipulation, equalization, reverberation, compression, and expansion... but natural sound and true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Piaggio Museum Auditorium. All this to create recordings characterized by technological sophistication and aimed at recovering the original musical atmospheres. For this recording, Ricci also used the "field effect" recording technique... all this to allow the listener, in their home hi-fi system, to relive the live effect as if they had been present at the performance.

I Hit It With the Dryer and It Became a Real Pillow!
Size: Queen
This DreamyBlue Moon Pillow made a much better first impression than I expected. Out of the package it looked like it needed a pep talk, so I threw it in the dryer to fluff it up and it came back with purpose. Just full on BAM. Pillow achieved. The shape is one of the best parts. It actually feels like a pillow that wants to do its job right. Not too weird, not awkwardly bulky, not one of those ones that looks promising until you lay down and realize your head is now parked on a bag of chopped foam and bad decisions. I also really liked being able to customize it. That part matters more than people think. Pillows are weirdly personal, and most of them give you exactly one option: deal with it. This one lets you adjust the fill until it actually feels right, which is a whole lot better than waking up annoyed and pretending it is fine. And for anyone wondering, mine did not have any weird smell. No chemical funk. No “maybe this needs to live on the porch for a day” situation. It just fluffed up, felt good, and got to work. Overall, this has been a solid win. Comfortable shape, easy to adjust, and none of the usual nonsense. Which, for a pillow, is honestly a strong performance.

Soft yet supportive
Size: Queen
I have been through 4 other pillows in the last year trying to find one that supports but isn't too firm. I gave this one a shot and am really loving it. It's soft, comfortable, supports without hurting my neck or shoulder. I am short so some pillows are too high for me. I'm mainly a siide sleeper, this pillow is great as I can place my head anywhere not just middle of very end like the other pillows I was trying. I can sink into it a little yet still have support and it doesn't crush down. It comes with more filler but haven't needed it. I put it in the dryer on ultra delicate when I first got it and it fluffed nicely. Very happy with this product as I am now getting more sleep.

Absolutely in love with this pillow!
Size: King, Size: King
I’m so excited about this purchase — this pillow turned out to be amazing! I’m a side sleeper most of the time, and the way the edges are designed makes it incredibly comfortable and supportive. What really surprised me is that even when I slept on my back (which I normally don’t like), I felt super comfortable. I actually woke up still lying on my back — and that never happens! I know it’s healthier to sleep that way, so I’m really happy about that and hope it becomes a new habit. Before this, I tried a few regular memory foam pillows, but they always felt too firm and my neck would get tired. This one, with the shredded memory foam, is so soft and cozy — it molds perfectly without feeling lumpy. The King size is perfect too — my little Pomeranian loves to rest his tiny head next to mine on the pillow. I don’t know why he does that, but it’s adorable. And I have to mention the packaging — the box was so high-quality and beautifully made that I just couldn’t throw it away. I’m definitely keeping it to store something in. Overall, I’m super happy with this pillow and will be ordering a second one soon. I only got one to test it out, but now I’m totally convinced. Thank you for such an awesome product!
