Oxhuitza is an instrumental project created in February 2011 by guitarist and composer Luca Bassignani, who was living in London at the time. After spending a few months playing around in the English town, Luca returned to Italy and with the complicity of two musicians, Nicola (bass) and Cristian (drums), decided to start his project.
Within a month, thanks also to Gabriele Guidi (keyboards), Luca recorded the songs that would be included in the first official demo.
The demo had good responses and, about a year later, thanks to the interest of Mirror Records, Luca enters at Hilary studio in Genoa to record his project’s first album. In the studio Luca was also joined by Carlo Barreca (bass), Rossano Villa and Gabriele Guidi (keyboards), Christian Giannarelli (drums).
Under the artistic direction of Fabio Zuffanti and Rossano Villa, Luca’s ideas are enhanced with lush arrangements ranging from symphonic prog to psychedelia, hard-Crimson atmospheres, with touches of ethnic and fusion music.
The result is an album diverse and peculiar, where is easy to lose your bearings for the many subtleties and peculiarities that surprise the listener in this labyrinthine path. This is original and sophisticated instrumental music.
