Mike Rivard: Entranced By The Music
by Paul Naser
As globalization blends cultures and markets more and more everyday, it is only natural that artistic traditions and the artists that study them do the same. Mike Rivard is a leader in this regard, pioneering some of the most unique blends of musical styles and sounds today. Talking to him about his band Club D'elf and ...
Save the Date - Settembre 2014
by Luca Canini
Settembre è il mese del ripensamento. In questo caso doveroso perché si chiude un agosto strano e complicato per il jazz italiano. Un agosto che ha perso per strada il festival di Sant'Anna Arresi, posticipato in blocco a data da destinarsi, e gran parte di quello di Rocella, prima rinviato a dicembre (notizia diffusa attraverso un ...

Peter Brotzmann/Sonny Sharrock: WHATTHEFUCKDOYOUWANT
by Mark Corroto
Gone, now more than twenty years ago, guitarist Sonny Sharrock passing in 1994 seems like just yesterday. Maybe it is because his inexhaustible larger-than-life sound still permeates the music of today's free jazz community. This recording, from 1987 is a hidden gem and treasured fragment, perhaps another Rosetta Stone that allows listeners to appreciate how the ...
Bill Laswell's M.O.D. Technologies Presents Helio Parallax Featuring A Line-up Of Distinctive Guest Artists - Plus Record Release Party
With pioneering explorations in time and space, Helio Parallax presents a sound deeply rooted in spiritual expression. It is true analog electronic music (no laptops) with cinematic landscapes (think Blade Runner meets Miles Davis’ Elevator To The Gallows sound track) anchored by deep, dub/hip-hop beats - an atmospheric landscape coined “Sci-Fi Dub Noir.” Josh Werner (Wu ...
Colin Edwin - Lorenzo Feliciati: Twinscapes
by John Ephland
From the bottom up, Twinscapes is a long time coming, and not just for bass players. Sonically, this 11-track suite plays on your ears and mind in ways that can defy gravity, combining soft audial touches to go along with earthy funk, the residue left a kind of smoke that lingers but filters, inevitably it seems, ...
Colin Edwin - Lorenzo Feliciati: Twinscapes
by Glenn Astarita
Bassists Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and Lorenzo Feliciati (Naked Truth, Beserk!) and several prominent guest artists venture towards the constellations via these bass-driven jaunts, shaded with streaming electronics, firm backbeats, and wraithlike soundscapes. Shortly after the first listen, I detected a kinship to bassist/producer Bill Laswell's early, bass- heavy ambient electronica outings and soon noticed that ...

Bassists Lorenzo Feliciati And Colin Edwin Join Forces On Twinscapes Powerful Debut Release Scheduled For March On Rarenoise
Two bassists from two different continents—Italian Lorenzo Feliciati of the adventurous jazz-rock band Naked Truth and the intensely searching nu jazz group Berserk! and Australian Colin Edwin of the longstanding prog-rock band Porcupine Tree and the heavy-duty, experimental Metallic Taste of Blood as well as Ex-Wise Heads and Burnt Belief—come together to make one potent statement ...
Mumpbeak: Mumpbeak
by Glenn Astarita
When considering most instances of progressive rock, Mumpbeak is a horse of a different color. With four world- class bassists, chiefly performing on alternating tracks, and keyboardist Roy Powell's unearthly sound-shaping mechanisms garnered from an electronically souped-up Hohner clavinet, the band brashly merges a doomsday panorama with insurrectionary tactics. King Crimson drummer ...
