| | | die schachtel (italy) #ds z01 cd å “å” compact disc - my memory is like a film. that is why
- i am really good at remembering things - like the conversation i have written down in this book - and what people were wearing - and what they smelled like - because my memory has
- a smell track which is like a doundtrack. and when people ask me to remember something i can simply
- press rewind and fast forward and pause like on a video recorder - but mor like dvd because i don’t have to rewind
- through everything in between to get to a memory of
- something a long time ago. and there are no buttons - either - because
- it is happening in my head.
| | first release from this contemporary italian ensemble (in fact this is the first contemporary release from any artist on die schachtel) - inaugurating the new “zeit” series. |
| | die schachtel press release... |
| å is stefano roveda, andrea faccioli, paolo marocchio
arranged, edited and mixed by xabier iriondo
mastered by giuseppi ielasi
genre: avantgarde, kraut, improv, experimental, rock
format: cd digipack
description: deluxe tri-fold digipack cd edition
die schachtel is proud to present å, a group of young and very talented italian musicians who, picking up the best of the italian avantgarde heritage, are able to create a very personal music mixing elements of free form improvisation and experimental rock, with a hint of exotic percussion and electronic background. the result is certainly one of the most fresh and unexpected listening experiences coming from italy.
å (which is the first and the last letter of some scandinavian alphabet) is a young trio of musicians on violin, exotic percussions, theremin, guitar, synth and piano, who have created a remarkably original world of sound. although one can hear occasional influences from kraut rock style and the early minimalism, this sound is uniquely italian in its sense of sound, space and time. an imaginative, meditative, bizarre, courageous and nostalgic music consisting in spontaneous compositions and improvisations, lately arranged by xabier iriondo - the result of four or five long free-form improvisations, resonating of minimal drones à la conrad, largos for piano that sound like a raw cilio, strange electrified noises, and percussive inventions. and much more. since some time, we were playing with the idea of launching a series dedicated to the most creative italian music of to day, and this seemed to be the perfect start. it took some production & arrangement magic and a crystal clear cd mastering and boom: the first die schachtel "zeit" (time) title is now ready. |
