Riccardo Dillon Wanke’s Caves was composed and recorded in 2006 in Alfama (historical district of Lisbon, Portugal) using acoustic and electric guitars, saxophones and natural sound elements starting from pure radical improvisation evolving into the investigation of drones and static and looped music related to minimalism. At the center of these works are the binaural beats in musical composition, the results lying between classical composition, minimalistic improvisation and a "folk" sensitivity. The five tracks of Caves explore this in various ways. Its music plays with the relation between different geometries: expanded drones and concrete sounds, acoustic melodies and looped music. The project is music with a sort of irrational tension within a composed piece, built as a musical space made with few elements. On the surface, its aura seems immediately knowable and known yet Wanke has delivered a much more complex, nearly radical gesture. Wanke was born in Genova, Italy in 1977, was established in Milan from 1982 until 2005 and now lives and works in Lisbon. He began to study piano 1986, playing saxophone (tenor and alto) in 1994, and then guitar in 2001. He has been working in the experimental music field since 2000 (long-term collaborations with Giuseppe Ielasi, Francesco Dillon, Stefano Pilia, David Maranha, Renato Rinaldi, Christian Alati, Andrea Belfi, Margarida Garcia). He is member of Medves group.
