Domenico Sciajno - Kim Cascone: Hyaline
L'amicizia che lega Domenico Sciajno al compositore elettronico americano Kim Cascone è di lunga data (vedasi tra gli altri A Book of Standard Equinoxes recensito qualche anno fa su queste pagine).

Quanto ascolterete in Hyaline - termine che può riferirsi ad una sostanza specifica priva di colore e trasparente - è musica in sequenze che si sviluppano ancora come un unico quadro, assemblato senza soluzione di continuità e senza tagli, coerente, cromaticamente e sonoramente denso in ogni sua parte.

Suggerisco di sentire in questi suoni "due facce": una a volume basso, crea paesaggi sonori lussuriosi, l'altra a volume alto, introduce a nuove e inaspettate architetture con toni decisamente più aggressivi.

Il nostro ascolto ha volutamente fuso i toni e i piani, andando in corto circuito a partire da "Eulophia" e dalle sue voci schioppettanti.

Track Listing

01. Satyrium - 21:38; 02. Cleistogamia - 7:03; 03. Selfing - 8:58; 04. Eulophia - 9:24; 05. Glove Box - 9:42.

Personnel

Domenico Sciajno; Kim Cascone (elettronica).
