See also:Weightless / Alberto Braida, John Edwards, John Butcher, Fabrizio Spera There are at least two bands called Weightless: 1) A pan-European improvisational jazz quartet, and 2) An indie band from Adelaide, South Australia. 1. Weightless Personnel: John Butcher: tenor saxophone, soprano saxophones Alberto Braida: piano John Edwards: double bass Fabrizio Spera: drums "British artists and intellectuals have an old fascination for the Italian culture, and Italians like the way they, and their history and classical art, are envisioned by English writers, poets, painters and filmmakers. That's, inevitably, the context of this cooperative effort between John Butcher and John Edwards, from one side, and Alberto Braida and Fabrizio Spera, from the other. It demands your full attention, not because it's difficult (it may be, at times, but who wants real good music to be "easy"?), but because it's intense and needs your open ear, time and disponibility. First of all, the music is totally improvised, even if it seems meticulously composed. No contradiction here: that's what the improvising masters do, and all the four of them are specially gifted in that aspect. Then, you'll notice there's no leader or hierarchical organisation, everything happening through a collective flow, and that's why the credits go to a band name, Weightless. No-one even tries to start an ego-trip: this is a society of equals. Finally, you'll find yourself in a state of bliss, because the resulting music couldn't be more surprising." 2. Weightless Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, Weightless are a four-piece combo intent on bringing back all the best bits from the late-'90s wave of emo, drawing influence from bands such as American Football, Benton Falls, Minus the Bear, This will Destroy you and Braid. In 2010 the band released a self-titled four-track EP. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Weightless">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
