Mi chiamo Georgeanne Kalweit, alcuni potrebbero conoscermi come Gi. Sono una cantautrice, artista visiva e performativa di Minneapolis, residente in Italia da oltre trent'anni. Ero la vocalist della band elettro-pop milanese Delta V dal 2000 al 2004 e da allora ho formato con altri musicisti progetti post punk alternative rock, come Kalweit and the Spokes a Milano dal 2010 al 2015 o The Kalweit Project a Lecce dal 2016 al 2020. Attualmente sto lavorando per pubblicare il mio quarto album, questa volta a mio nome, intitolato Tiny Space, creato con il musicista e produttore Giovanni Ferrario come produttore-artistico (Scisma, Micevice, The Giovanni Ferrario Alliance, GuruBanana…; collabora da molto tempo con Hugo Race, con PJ Harvey e John Parish nel tour di "A Woman A Man Walked By del 2009; con PJHarvey nel tour europeo nell’autunno 2023 e nel tour mondiale nel 2024/25 di "I Inside The Old I Dying"), e che ha scritto tutta la musica con un po' della mia e di quella di Lorenzo Corti. Giovanni ha suonato la maggior parte degli strumenti: dieci canzoni in inglese, ironiche, eccentriche, allegre/tristi, sul "cambiare pelle", sulla ricerca di uno scopo e della creatività nella nostra epoca complicata, con la profonda consapevolezza di sé che si prova nel tentativo di riemergere dopo la fine di una lunga relazione d'amore. Ogni canzone è un micro-viaggio attraverso la sperimentazione sonora e la licenza poetica. L'LP Tiny Space è già stato interamente registrato e mixato; il video del primo singolo omonimo, girato dalla rinomata regista americana Ericka Beckman tra Milano e la Puglia, uscirà a marzo insieme all'LP tramite NOS Records con l’apporto dell’ufficio stampa Peyote Press. Questo primo singolo “Tiny Space” uscirà invece in digitale il 24 ottobre, così potrete avere un primo assaggio dell’intero album.

My name is Georgeanne Kalweit, some may know me as Gi. I’m a singer songwriter, visual and performance artist from Minneapolis residing in Italy for over thirty years. I was the vocalist of the Milan Electro pop band Delta V from 2000-2004, and formed projects with fellow musicians since then like the Post Punk Alt Rock bands Kalweit and the Spokes in Milan from 2010-2015 or The Kalweit Project in Lecce from 2016-2020. I’m working on releasing my fourth album, this time in my own name titled Tiny Space, created with musician producer Giovanni Ferrario as Artistic Producer (Scisma, Micevice, The Giovanni Ferrario Alliance, GuruBanana…;a long-time collaborator with Hugo Race, with PJ Harvey and John Parish on the 2009 "A Woman A Man Walked By" tour; with PJHarvey on the European tour in autumn 2023 and the 2024/25 world tour of "I Inside The Old I Dying") who wrote all the music with a little of mine and that of Lorenzo Corti. Giovanni played most of the instruments on it: ten ironic, eccentric, happy/sad songs in English about "shedding one's skin", the search for purpose and creativity, our complicated era, and the profound self-awareness experienced while trying to re-emerge after the end of a long love relationship. Each song is a micro-journey through sonic experimentation and poetic license. The Tiny SpaceLP is all recorded and mixed and the video of the first single of the same name, shot by American filmmaker Ericka Beckman in Milan and Puglia, will be released in March with the LP through NOS Records with the support of Peyote Press. This first single “Tiny Space”, though, will instead be released digitally October 24th, so you can have a first taste.
