| august 2011 release ; long-awaited cd version of perhaps my all-time favorite die schachtel release :: franca saachi’s “en” lp from 2005 ...
“ainsi fut le commencement il n’y aura pas de fin” (roughly, “thus there was the beginning, there will be no end”) does a fine job in invoking worlds-other via distant bleeping and low-end dronecraft ...
“arpa eolia” (“aeolian harp”) is a positively doom-laden, dissonant pipe-organ etude ...
“quando mi hanno ucciso, se così posso dire. e quindi rinasco” (roughly, “when they have victim of a murder to me, if therefore I can say. and therefore revive.”) is concerned with subtle tonal shifts of oscillating, filtered figures ...
finally, “danza mia cara” (“we danced my beloved“) is a positively frazzled extended display of backwards tape effects / histrionics and raw blurbling modular synth (my only reference points for something as alien would be pierre henry’s brainwave-epic “mise en musique du corticalart” and perhaps the best side-long early 70’s schnitzler tumblers) ...
pure magic in sound, no less ... |
ps. hearing the full “danza, mia cara” without having all 28-minutes squashed onto a single lp-side is a quasi-religious experience ... listen to the sound-sample for an extended bleep ... |

franca sacchi
en
ds 24 cdbox 2011
one of the very few female composer of early electronic music, franca sacchi studied at the well known rai studio of fonologia in milan in the 60s. she developed the “en-static” principle, which included improvisation, electronic music, ritual, performance, teaching and meditation. her music focuses mainly on sound, which is treated as raw material and endlessly explored.
sacchi's free concept of duration and deep emotional feel brings her closer to eliane radigue and la monte young, especially for the long and sustained tones which are suddenly turned into pulsations and gritty sound textures. her work was also included in the seminal broken music exhibition in berlin.
originally published by die schachtel as limited edition lp, this lavish golden cdbox + booklet presents her best work in a fully remastered edition.
