Paolo Angeli
Born:
Whatever you want to call it, nobody else is doing it quite like this. Paolo Angeli, the Sardinian sorcerer, manually magics beautiful, multi-layered music from his unique prepared guitar: a hybrid orchestra of an instrument with strings going in all directions, foot-pedal-controlled motorised propellers and hammers to create shimmering drones and bass-lines as he bows, strikes, plucks and strums while producing rhythmic atmospherics by treading on a plastic bag and adjusting tunings on the fly. Electronic effects are utilized but no loops. With this singular instrument he improvises and composes unclassifiable music, suspended between traditional music of Sardinia, free jazz, flamenco, arabic suggestions, post-folk and pre-everything else, and came back in Sardinia with his voice in to the furrows of tradition

Paolo Angeli: Lema
by Ian Patterson
Paolo Angeli has charted a singular course since Dove Dormono Gli Autobus (Erosha, 1995) introduced the Sardinian guitarist to the wider world. Back then, he juggled Sardinian guitar, classical guitar, electric bass and percussion. He soon transitioned to prepared guitar--a hybrid of guitar, cello and harp. Besides this triple threat, a typical Angeli guitar has more ...
Paolo Angeli: Su "Lema" E Molto Altro
by Libero Farnè
Non avevo intervistato Paolo Angeli dal febbraio 2007, quando il musicista sardo aveva già abbandonato la scena bolognese dove aveva maturato esperienze importanti e formative, di sicuro propedeutiche al raggiungimento della sua pienezza artistica. Da allora Angeli ha affrontato tante situazioni e collaborazioni musicali diverse, vedendo crescere la sua fama internazionale, grazie anche alla ...
