Elysian Fields - KXCI 91.3 FM Phasis V is a slow, heartbeat-paced piece. The low reeds and bass pull in tight circles while the percussion shows up as sparks, not fireworks. It starts almost whispered and then swells into something that feels like a small, stubborn ceremony being recorded. Favorite track: Phasis V.

about

Full Moon, November AD 283

Beneath the moon's gaze,
olive oil workers gather in secret,
within the limestone walls of a trullo.
Their chants and rhythms spiral upward,
a devotion carved in sound
vanishing into night yet circling forever.

released November 28, 2025

Recorded in Apulia, southern Italy, inside a centuries-old trullo — a conical limestone chamber that became the band’s fourth instrument— lunae (Latin: “of the moon”) is a site-specific, archeo-musicological exploration of sound and space.

Celebrating ten years of music journey, AVA Trio shapes its fifth album, lunae, distilled from Giuseppe Doronzo’s composition Sabbatical. Across six lunar phases, AVA Trio traces forgotten moon rituals where sound and silence return in cycles.

Giuseppe Doronzo: prepared baritone sax, fluxophone, mizmar, gong
Esat Ekincioglu: double bass
Pino Basile: cupaphon, percussion

Recorded at the Trullo on the Cagnazzi Estate, Altamura (Italy) on August 1-2, 2023.
Mixed and Mastered by David Zuchowski, Chicago
Design and Artwork by Carla Indipendente
Produced by AVA Trio & TORA Records
