Reviews :
Giulio Cesare Ricci is not a relative of Franco Maria Ricci, or Nina Ricci, neither of Ruggero Ricci. He is a real Tuscan, born in 1958, who made his first recording at tender age of 11 years using a “Geloso” recording system.
After several experiences in different fields as: politics (in 1974 he organised the occupation of his high school, the “Liceo Enriquez”), marine (in 1976, trying to swim to the rock of Meloria in front of Livorno), sport (in 1977, becoming instructor of the Italian Tennis Federation) and culture (in 1981, brilliantly passing the exam of Russian literature history), in 1983 he married the record label fonè: from this marriage until now over 300 children were born. Giulio Cesare Ricci is a “big man”. This abundance is not only disclosed by his appearance or by his appetite, but also by the strength of the demonstration of his emotions. Being them of hate or, and it is better for those close to him, of love. Big men have an innate wisdom, are generous enough to move and sometimes evil, revengeful as only a 14th century mercenary knew and could be.
Ricci’s infinite passion and indefinable madness led him to become a creative activity himself: fonè. Fonè is giulio cesare ricci which is fonè. This identity brings him to take in first person every choice made by the company, the discoveries, the most daring experiments on sound, the uncalculated risk to produce records “only” for the love of music and sound.
Infinite, uncontrollable, indefinite. ricci operates without knowledge of tomorrow, not for lack of planning, but for pure pleasure of living the moment. While telling me of a new recording he was about to make with his Neumanns, he closed his eyes, bended his knees showing upward the palms of his big hands, as if tocatch the sound: he became a microphone! It is the absolute dedication to the sound.
