Samo Salamon Bassless Trio: Unity

Read "Unity" reviewed by Luigi Sforza

by Luigi Sforza

Non capita spesso di ascoltare dischi di notevole spessore. Pertanto, quando se ne presenta l'occasione è necessario, anzi doveroso, celebrarli con adeguata deferenza e, come oggetti preziosi, riservare loro un posto di assoluto rispetto nello scaffale che li accoglierà, posizionandoli di fianco ad altre opere del medesimo livello e, possibilmente, a portata di mano, così da ...

John Hollenbeck, Alban Darche, Samuel Blaser, Sebastien Boisseau: Mix of Sun and Clouds

Read "Mix of Sun and Clouds" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

La ricca e frammentata scansione ritmica di John Hollenbeck, spesso animata da un'impronta danzante, è un policromo tappeto che interagisce con le parti scritte o gli appassionati interventi di Alban Darche e Samuel Blaser. L'interplay col contrabbassista Sebastien Boisseau finisce di caratterizzare una musica in costante mutazione, che passa da atmosfere d'astratto camerismo a sequenze di ...

Read "Binary" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Lo scheletro di Binary è costituito dalle sei versioni di “Rectangles," sei frammenti di durata compresa tra il minuto e i tre minuti abbondanti, dove angoli, linee, spigoli e intersezioni sollecitano la curiosità dell'ascoltatore e lasciano intravedere intriganti sviluppi. La muscolatura e gli organi vitali vengono aggiunti dai rimanenti sei brani, la cui durata -sempre superiore ...

In an effort to take the road less travelled, Webber has used internet-sourced inspiration, including a random binary digit generator, a website that turns words into drumbeats, and even her own IP address, to ...

Theo Bleckmann: Elegy

Read "Elegy" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

While ECM is a label largely renowned for its subtlety, attention to space and detail, and overall understated, “less is more" aesthetic--an early sampler titled, even, The Most Beautiful Sound Next To Silence--it's hard to imagine a label debut as a leader that could be less about virtuosity and more about creating soft atmospheres and ambiences ...
