Chris Pitsiokos: Silver Bullet in the Autumn of Your Years
by Don Phipps
Adventurous, hair-raising, mind-bending, dense, fibrous, layered, hallucinogenic, twisted. These are the words that come to mind when listening to the excellent but challenging music on Chris Pitsiokos's album Silver Bullet in the Autumn of Your Years. Pitsiokos' compositions often sound like a musical transcription of the trippiest parts of William Burrough's “Naked Lunch." The result? An ...
Lucia Cadotsch: Speak Low
by Niccolò Lucarelli
Accade che un artista, sia esso musicista, scrittore, pittore o scultore, avverta l'urgenza di rifugiarsi nella semplicità espressiva, di guardare a forme essenziali dal sapore primitivo e ancestrale, per poi dialogare con la contemporaneità. “Retrofuturismo acustico." Così Lucia Cadotsch definisce nelle note di copertina Speak Low, la sua ultima fatica musicale. Il sostantivo spiega questo suo ...
Detail: At Club 7
by Vic Albani
Questo disco è tratto da una registrazione su semplice e storica audiocassetta, effettuata nel leggendario Club 7 di Oslo nel settembre del 1982.

Jason Ajemian: Folklords
by Enrico Bettinello
I detrattori delle tassonomie musicali (sono in tanti, non hanno poi mica torto eh...) possono finalmente esultare. Non ci proveremo nemmeno a “definire" o incasellare in un genere questo nuovo lavoro del contrabbassista Jason Ajemian, Folklords. A leggere quanto ci dicono le note di copertina (ma lo stesso Ajemian lo aveva già annunciato ...
