INCANTO

THE CONCEPT
The name TRINOVOX has Latin roots and in itself contains the artistic philosophy of this original Italian ensemble. TRINO: from trinus, "triple"; VOX, as is well-known, means "voice"; NOVO (Trinovox): from novus, to emphasize the fundamental commitment to the idea of "new". TRINOVOX is a trio made up exclusively of voices. The three artists are skilled vocalists as well as composers and arrangers. They are bound by their common desire to research and experiment new ways in the use of the voice. This includes the most varied and unusual forms of vocal composition.
Voice as one of the most direct and involving means of human communication: an awareness which results in being the actual core of the TRINOVOX concept. This explains why each member of the group has always focused his personal research on the problem of either vocal or physical expression, by firmly realizing that - when it comes to expressiveness - voice and body are inseparably related. Such a specific interest has brought our three singers to study in depth the techniques and practice of mime and acting.

It is thus that a special rapport between literature and singing has gradually developed, since the outset of the Trinovox project in May 1991. All this reaserch and energy has a specific name: INCANTO, Trinovox' first CD.

TRINOVOX. Three composers, one instrument: their voice. Singing and poetry combine in a new art form.
