| april 2007 release; an electro-acoustic suite by the increasingly prolific/excellent composer alessandro bosetti.
“exposé” is based on recordings of audrey chen’s voice, perfectly mickey-moused with rhodes piano lines, then processed in an aggregate manner not too far removed from alvin lucier’s “i am sitting in a room...” maybe not bosetti’s most immediately engaging work (his recent discs for rossbin and crouton have been nothing short of amazing) but an interesting enough alpha-zone experiment... |

“exposé”
tri-fold deluxe digipak
based on a series of 33 musical ideas written, printed, framed and “exposed” in a recent installation in milan, exposé is the first of a new cycle of works as well as the result of alessandro bosetti’s fascination with speech loops. the mesmerizing voice of audrey chen, endlessy repeating the same sentence over the entire duration of each piece, is full of musical nuances, and it rewards close attention. the result is a weird and fascinating experience, that takes the listener through a surreal sonic space.
the misty, microtonal electronics and instrumental layers are arranged and recorded in an extremely precise fashion. the slowly shifting speech-derived rhythmical patterns provide a subtle, low-key backdrop to the vocal parts, perhaps suggesting the option of adopting an ambient-like listening strategy, while at the same time the use of headphones will enhance the work's strangely compelling blend of the surreal and hypnotic. |
