The Spectrum Sound
Trio Spectrum's artistic journey also develops through its collaboration with Bugari, a historic company from Castelfidardo dedicated to the craftsmanship and production of accordions.
From the dialogue with this important artisan reality comes a project that combines musical research, tradition and innovation: the recording of Lupin, the renowned piece by Franco Micalizzi, in the arrangement by Maestro Walter Di Girolamo.
The music video, filmed inside the Bugari headquarters and shared on digital platforms, tells the story of the encounter between the world of music and craftsmanship, connecting the meticulous construction of the instrument with its infinite expressive possibilities.
Through this experience, Trio Spectrum continues its mission of promoting the bayan, pursuing a musical vision in which tradition and new sonic perspectives coexist.
