3/4hadbeeneliminated
oblivion
dsz11 cd digipack deluxe 2010

ltd 500 copies

die scahchtel is very happy to present the long-awaited return of 3/4hadbeeneliminated. the group (guitarist/double bassist stefano pilia, turntablist/sound assembler claudio rocchetti, tape manipulator/vocalist/guitarist valerio tricoli and percussionist toni arrabito) has created a work which is at the same time new and refreshing and yet completely consistent with their vision: a deep interaction between human, environment, traditional instruments and live electronics that creates a floating atmosphere filled with a natural energetic flow which borders on the psychedelic. thanks to the versatile use of the voice, capable of experimenting new solutions and suggestive ways of emission, and to the instrumental and electronic surround, they are able to create a three dimensional space, also thanks to the continuous switch between a concrete, rough world and a dream-like one.

"oblivion" is their fourth full length album, and a further confirmation of the outstanding talent of these italian musicians.

presto!? (italy) #p!? 008 ep

stefano pilialast days vol. ii” seven inch single record

  • midnight

  • endnight 
september 2009 release ; excellent (if painfully brief ; could really use an lp-length recording of this stuff !!!) single of ghostly guitar passages (recorded in harlem, usa, no less) from italian artist stefano pilia ...

two mazzacane-connors-esque figures, drenched in amp-buzz (incidentally, the only way we could solve the ages-old 33/45 dilemma was to run the 60-cycle ground-hum through a frequency counter) ; impeccably channeled & gorgeously presented ... highly recommended !!!

andrea belfi - wege (cd)
rm446
room40

wege translates as ‘path’ and it’s a fitting title for the latest rendering from master percussionist and experimental composer andrea belfi. the albums’ four pieces act as orientation points through some imaginary sonic landscape.

wege is belfi’s fourth lp (the first with room40), and stems entirely from compositions completed at two artist-in-residence projects in austria (hotel pupik) and in brussels (q-o2 werkplatz). the album is built around a cyclic electro-acoustic system, through which belfi has developed a complex musical network of possibilities.

with this electro-acoustic system, influenced in part by steve reich’s ‘pendulum music’, wege’s four pieces revolve around spiraling interconnections of synthesizer, feedback and drums.

belfi explains further:

this device creates feedbacks on two drums on my drum kit, and i can modify it by stopping and stretching the drum skins with hands and various kinds of sticks, mallets and brushes, and/or by filtering the feedback with an a modular synthesizer.

edited in a quiet apartment in greifswald (germany) a small town on the baltic sea, the record bears marks of the stillness of the surroundings in which it was finalised. there is a sense of hushed awe and a subtle reference to the wind swept coldness of the landscape in these pieces.

wege is mastered and mixed by giuseppe ielasi.
