| | | creel pone (italy) #cp 124 cd giuseppe morrocchi “aaffluss b/w raaffluss” compact disc-recordable - aaffluss • pianoforte e nastro (piano and tape) (21:45) 1980
- raaffluss • pianoforte (piano) (19:20) 1984
| ... killer 1988 “art-gallery” edition (each copy of the original lp was hand-painted by the composer in a loose, water-colour smear / drip style beautifully reproduced here - albeit utilizing the same image for each replica) covering a pair of beautiful, drifting piano pieces composed & executed by giuseppe morrocchi in 1980 & 1984 ...
... seemingly influenced by charlemagne palestine’s “strumming music” approach (coupled perhaps with lubomyr melnyk’s “continuous mode”) - the slow rise from decisive, individual note-attacks into a smear of motorik-lined rhythmic modal playing gets into some wonderfully claustrophobic spaces, exacerbated (on the a-side) by the use of tape-slown & reversed iterations of the same piano phases, resulting in a swirling, bi-directional mass of twisting string-sound that’s just as deluxe & trance-inducing as anything in the aforementioned composers’ canon(s) ...
... an incredible record, one often tied up in the various price-gouging scenarios that go hand in hand with “art records” ; discovered out in the wild, cleaned up & issued in a nice, pocketable edition for a slightly wider audience than the original will allow / afford :: the creel pone modus in a nut-shell ... |

| i carried out the two pieces aaffluss and raaffluss in two performances held at il punto (florence) 1980-1984, using improvisation - a method which has been widely practised, especially in ancient times and today in eastern countries. in the performance of the two pieces i gave more importance to the idea of the musical motif rather than to the details (the actual score itself) yet without leaving the traditional canons which use sound to create music. in raaffluss the « glide » prevails, which then becomes not only the contrasting motif but also integrating with the repeated percussion of the trichord (three sounds comprising three tones), and thus forming together the polyphony. instead, in aaffluss the percussion motif prevails, based on the repetition of the two trichords, one low and one high, which develop the polyphony. |
