Smirne
Inspired by the philosophy of George Gurdjieff, whose mystic meditations surely linger in the magick of their work, Smirne was born as a open minded experimental project. Generated by the fusion of different realities, the line-up at the time of the debut is composed of Andrea Reali and Tiziano Doria, members of Lavorazioni Carni Rosse, together with Anna Vezzosi and Cesare Lopopolo, from the electro-acoustic duo Rosso Polare. A thin line between improvisation, electronic exploration and Aegean …
Lavorazioni Carni Rosse
White dawn, the beginning of the world. From thick leaves and warmth, from dark soil nourishing on ripeness, from hidden sounds of animals, from light and from dark, from long gone languages, dark callings, from hills of insects, from a snare, from a deep breath, atmosphere arises, enigmatic conductor of those who will listen to the stuff of dreams. A wild, visionary record.Lavorazioni Carni Rosse is a state of being rather than a way of playing. Subjected, like all of us, to subliminal and coer…
i/o
All the sounds in this CD have been recorded live durino a four-month rehearsing session. There are no overdubs. The core of the I/O sound is the process that leads to the (dis)organization of the sonorous form rather than the song itself. The study of how the sounds interact with each other –either opposing or matching- is the most important stage in our conception of improvisation. Once again: the attention on the process (dynamic), more than the final result (static).
Cicatrici
OvO is a project of music and life. OvO are Stefania Pedretti (also singer and guitar player of Allun) and Bruno Dorella (ex Wolfango, Bugo, Lava, now involved in many bands and boss of Bar La Muerte records), often joined by friends that belong to many different musical scenes. Bruno and Stefania basically started this project to stay together: they were used to follow their partner's different bands on tour, but they were also sick of the problems that every band has connected with the members…
universonbangorfeo
Nippon & the Symbol’s record “Universonbangaorfeo” comes at the end of two years of live concerts and performances of the band. Nippon & the Symbol is a band playing music and readings. Tales and novels on this record are from three great italian authors: Italo Calvino, Dino Buzzati and Dino Campana. The band introduces an imaginary travel with Calvino, from life’s beginning to the end of the universe, passing through the rise and fall of dinosaurs and the myth of Orfeus and Euridice. The last t…
Uncode Duello
Uncode Duello is the result of a long period of hard job, careful listenings, readings and visions, studying use of instruments, sounds, dynamics, of newest and oldest machines and technology. But not only. This is “The” record by Cantù and Iriondo, because they have produced and thought by themselves, making treasure of past experiences and putting all into it (SMWM, A Short Apnea, Tasaday, Four Gardens In One) meeting and crashing as it’s necessary for important projects. Twelve years in a "du…
Bright Future
In 2003 IOIOI had the chance to see a film by Kyoshi Kurosawa - Bright Future - that really shocked her. She started to wonder obsessively about Ike vs Matte film's theme (what is the right way towards the future?) and she tried to write something about that. She played each instrument by herself and she recorded all the stuff through the microphone of her laptop. She composes one-shot songs (a kind of low-fi impro and brico pop songs!), she doesn't care too much about sounds, shapes and genres.…
Echran
Echran is a duo: Davide Del Col playing synth - he also released several records with the name Ornament (music located in the territories of obscure ambient) - and Fabio Volpi (programming and voice) playing also in the musical-visual arts collective Otolab. Echran’s music is a form of post-industrial ambient mixed with analogical echoes of the 70’s and the 80’s, all combined with cold digital sequences and an obsessive metronomic minimalism. A lot of tension and hypno runs through the rhythms o…
