by John Eyles
Osvaldo Coluccino's debut album on Another Timbre, Atto, was one of 2012's more pleasant surprises. Despite Coluccino's history of composing for conventional instruments--his release immediately preceding Atto was String Quartets (NEOS, 2012)--for the composition featured on Atto he opted to only employ (unspecified) acoustic objects which he struck, rubbed or blew into. Using no electronic manipulation, ...
Stefano Battaglia Trio: Songways
by John Kelman
Since his relationship with ECM began in 2003, Stefano Battaglia has been consistent in his use of different constellations for each recording, from 2006's double-disc Raccolto, where the Italian pianist worked with two different trios, and 2007's Re: Pasolini, another two-CD set where one employed a more broadly defined sextet and the other a string-centric quintet, ...

Naked Truth: Ouroboros
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
With apologies to the late guitarist Pete Cosey (who led a band by the name), the members of Naked Truth are bona fide “children of Agharta."
