EA Silence: Cono di Ombra e Luce
by Francesca Odilia Bellino
Gli interni della Sinagoga di Ivrea che hanno accolto la registrazione delle otto tracce di “Cono di Ombra e Luce" dell'EA Silence--terzetto elettroacustico composto da Luca Cartolari, Mirio Scottii e Alessio Pisani-- effondono a distanza i loro giochi di ombra e luce che sembrano essere stati ispiratori, loro per primi, delle atmosfere di questo lavoro. Troppo presente la corporalità dei pulviscoli luminosi. Troppo materia nella sostanza elettroacustica dell'EA Silence. Essa stessa troppo fluida. Obliqua. Conica, appunto. Lirica, in definitiva.

Michael Howell is a little-known jazz and fusion guitarist, but those who are familiar with his music love him. One of my favorites is his album In the Silence.

Born in Kansas City, Howell was taught by his father and guitarist Herley Dennis Howell. Michael Howell studied classical guitar at the Music and Arts ...

Two years after 2011's Clouds under the table, highly appreciated by press and the public, “Flying and the silence" is the new, awaited chapter in Nheap's musical research. The fusion of modern sounds, such as ambient electronica and post-rock atmospheres, with suggestions of a more traditional kind, including jazz and funk, along with a deeper integration between synthetic and acoustic sounds, contributes to make this new album an extremely warm and organic work, where experimentation coexists with melodic and thematic ...

Neil Cowley Trio - Radio Silence (2011)

Something Else!
As the poignant, expressive piano voice behind both of Adele's albums, Neil Cowley has a sound that seems immediately familiar. Yet he doesn't simply rely on that famous association to push along Radio Silence. As often as he performs with a similarly recognizable delightful grace (as on the title track and the “Portal"), Cowley also displays this flinty sense of interplay with bassist Richard Sadler and drummer Evan Jenkins on this, their third recording together. They tear through the randy ...
