'The Greek philosophers were magnificent scholars of intuition. They were able to associate sense and natural phenomena. In navigation they established the sense of direction with an instrument associated with the winds, and there is no doubt that behind the primordial wind rose of Aristotle there was a great existential emphasis: not only an instrument indicating position but also a precious object and metaphor for an abstract journey of man's life, moved by the desire for new adventures and life experiences. Giancarlo Schiaffini/Daniel Studer in Breeze adapt to this vital approach and reflect on the graph: 9 orientations define the great interactive capabilities of the two musicians, an intrepid sonic imagination that travels on the basis of a wide creativity, almost in search of a mythology of 'movement'; the casual coordination, the surprises of extended techniques, the speeds or densities found in the improvisational dialogue, are a panacea for a modern narration of the qualities of the winds.'
