"On the wire" balances strength and fire in Alessandro Gallo's jazz journey

"On the wire" is a delicate balancing act between strength and openness. Alessandro Gallo's intensely personal EP and title track spin emotional weight into glittering might. With this release, Gallo transports you to a world where weakness is strength and pain is new life.

"On the wire" is about how we actually feel, what has actually happened to us, and the silent hopes that propel us forward even as things remain uncertain. Throughout the project, there is a quiet tension, a fine line between being stuck and finding the energy to move on. The EP touches on sadness and loneliness without pretending either one sounds good.

There is a sense of being suspended in the air between what was and what will be. The music breathes, searches, and lasts. Gallo seems intimate, and any moment offers the possibility of transformation that effort can become life, sacrifice meaning, and hopelessness light. The voyage reflects the darkest and weakest moments in life, as well as rebirth. All changes when effort and meaning converge, and the light comes back.

This release, rooted in jazz, thrives in the moments between notes, in pauses, improvisations, and slight turns. Gallo takes that tradition and makes it very modern and human. The result is an EP that sounds very personal and very relatable. "On the wire" is about stepping right through the difficult days, being careful not to fall, and learning that the wire itself can also be a way forward. It's personal, strong, and hopeful in the end.
