imprec138 - cd
poste e telegrafi is the debut solo album from italian guitarist allesandro stefana. featuring an allstar cast including mark ribot & leo abrahams, stefana creates a dreamy world of instrumental perfection and beauty.
inspired by the work of ennio morricone, ry cooder, simon jeffes, steve reich and brian eno, he has created a thoroughly modern western world within his compositions and arrangements. with constant references to traditional music and rural blues he utilizes electric and acoustic instrumentation with tremendously compelling results. acoustic, electric, and pedal steel guitars along with banjo, kalimba, baliphones and found objects were all carefully combined with some primitive electronic instruments such as an arpeggiator, omnichord and home made vinyl loops. his sound is entirely original yet clearly rooted in traditions such as film music, blues, experimental, ambient and avante garde musics.
stefana manages his cast of collaborators very well. most tracks on poste e telegrafi are duets with these musicians keeping the sound and arrangement simple and pure. instruments breathe and pulse with life and excitement in this highly original album. to call this a “promising debut” would be to dismiss the tremendous success delivered by poste e telegrafi. |
