Hyperjazz Records presents the self-titled debut album from Tera Tera, an unexpected collaboration between two visionaries of the Italian music scene. Drummer Jacopo Battaglia, founder of the cult Italian trio Zu and collaborator with Mike Patton and The Bloody Beetroots, joins forces with guitarist Adriano Viterbini, founder of the rising sensation I Hate My Village and collaborator with Rokia Traorè and Bombino. Born from two intense jam sessions of pure improvisation, this album emerged through multiple phases of fragmentation, psychedelic experimentation, and sonic reconstruction. Hours of raw material were distilled into structures, then subjected to further manipulation and synthesis, documenting the inherent chemistry between two sound wanderers. Tera Tera’s primary interest lies in exploring sound, creating new pathways toward transcendence. Their music defies genre boundaries, pushing beyond conventional limitations into uncharted psychedelic territories.
