PRESS RELEASE:
Bluecat: electronica with a jazz flavour
Out this month "Chill Reception" is the debut album for Bluecat, produced by
William Bottin for Irma Records Italy and worldwide distributed.
The aim of the project is to join harmony and musicality such as in jazz and
funk with beats and new sounds from the electronic scene.The album is an
eclectic work that includes breakbeat and jazz house tracks as well as more
downtempo and chill out moments.
William Bottin, who plays keyboards, trumpet and guitar, is currently
working in
the music department of Fabrica, Benetton research center originally funded by
photographer Oliviero Toscani.
In the last few years William has joined forces with the Italian jazz/swing
songwriter Sergio Caputo and is now remixing on of his classic tunes.
Recently William produced the music for the
Undercolors of Benetton tv commercial (by Danis Tanovic, director of No Man's
Land, awarded in Cannes 2001), he also composed the soundtrack for "Once and
Future Queen", a feature film by American director Todd Verow
(Bangorfilms) which
was awarded at the Chicago Underground Filmfest and was also presented at the
Locarno International Film Festival.
William Bottin is one of the most interesting artists of the present
generation.
his style could be classified as electronica with a jazz influence but
definitions don't quite fit this eclectic composer. His vast musical background
blends to form a personal and unique style of its own kind. -- Sergio Caputo
