Andrea Biondi: Matching Alea

Read "Matching Alea" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Illustrando la fattura di quest'album Andrea Biondi spiega: “Sia i temi che parte delle armonie e degli impianti formali sono emersi da un'organizzazione volutamente random mischiando le tecniche della dodecafonia con l'idea di John Cage che nel 1950 si servì del Libro dei Mutamenti, I Ching, per fare scelte compositive senza l'intervento della sua volontà, in ...

Read "Poetry and Jazz: A Chronology" reviewed by Duncan Heining


My intention here is to offer a detailed but inevitably incomplete chronology of poetry and jazz. The focus is solely on the combination of the two art forms in performance, not on poetry about jazz or jazz musicians or poetry inspired by jazz but not performed to music. My definition of 'poetry' is fairly broad and ...

Turbamulta: Turbamulta

Read "Turbamulta" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


This Portuguese experimental outfit presents a conglomerate of faint sounds, striking colors and multilayered passages with textural backwashes and asymmetrical pulses. As a whole, the musicians use off-centered instrumentation, and they tender a diverse playbook that should goad a listener's concentration. The quintet launches the festivities with “I," which is included in a three-part ...
