Luigi Turra
Gestes Croisés / Gesti Incrociati
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* 'Gestes croisés / Gesti incrociati' it is the first collaboration between Pierre Gerard and Luigi Turra, and with this work they confirm their poetics, inclined to radicalism and exploration of a universe made of details often cultivated through a silence that generates expectations and rewards attention. A work that reaffirms the duo's forged connections with the modern avant-garde, electroacoustic improvisation and with fragments of abstract and min…

Ma 間
Fabio Perletta and Luigi Turra’s "Ma" marks their first collaboration. The project began with Turra inviting Perletta to re-work his piece "Texture.Vitra" (Koyuki, 2008), a sound study featuring recordings collected at various architectural spaces designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

The album unfolds as a temporal, environmental experience of …
In Winter
One more new Gianluca Becuzzi release on Silentes, this time in collaboration with Luigi Turra. Composer of musique concrete and graphic designer whose main interest is the musical balance between silence and the tactile perception of sound, Turra’s works were published by labels such as and/OAR, Unfathomless, Non Visual Objects, Smallvoices and many others. A lot has already been written about Becuzzi, here we would just like to remember his historic Darkwave / Industrial project…
Ki
Luigi Turra is a musique concrete composer and graphic designer whose main interest is in the aural balance between silence and tactile perception of sound. A first version of Enso was originally released by Small Voices (Italy) in 2007, but the release suffered from peak-volume distortion due to being mastered too loud, plus the use of compression altered the sound of the work. Here, it is free from distortion and compression. Ancient Silence was originally self- released as a limited e…

Quiet field recordings, soft acoustic sounds and organic electronic arrangements builds panoramic view on two levels. The acoustic gestures like bells, manipulated objects and drone fragments are coming from silence and disappearing after some time…

Composed and produced by Shinkei & Luigi Turra. Additional CC recordings courtesy of: Koura, Jean Francois Cavro, Gezortenplotz, Laura Smith: 'Gravier Street Blues' (1924), Lizzie Miles: 'I Hate A Man Like You' (1929).
Enso
Although the cover art for Enso is strikingly similar to recent 12k releases, there the similarity ends. With Enso, Luigi Turra has conjured up an organic and contemplative three-track epic, that resonates on subsequent listenings. Infused with Japanese sonic architectures and rigorous reductionist principles, this is a deeply meditative world of gently plucked instruments, and faded atmospherics, peppered with closely focussed tinklings and crystalline shards to add texture. Best appreciated in…
