Side A - Alberto Boccardi Drops, salt, ask me next life
Side B - Lawrence English
The Rocks That Tear The Ocean: 1. Thrones And Domains
2. Coronach Adrift
3. Weathered Hymnary
4. Seraphim
The idea of the split comes from the recording sessions in the summer of 2012 that Alberto rea- lized with the chorus of classical and contemporary music Antonio LaMotta conducted by David Mainetti.
Alberto sends Lawrence all the material leaving him complete freedom in manipulation.
In A side Alberto develops a path in three movements, where each part is independent but at the same time connected to the others; the sequence evolves as inevitable. If in the central segment chorus evocation moves in contrast with the distortions inside a long crescendo, in the other parts the density of acoustic instruments (french horn, double bass, cello, autoharp, vocals, soprano sa- xophone) and electronics (analog synth, effects pedals, guitar) combine and intertwine together leading the sound to a stream of waiting, obsession and evocation.
In side B Lawrence: “This is what I’d like to think of as Land Music. Perhaps sharing something with the perspective scale of Land Art, in which a massing of micro elements create a marco fea- ture, these small sounds when transformed etch out contours and long envelopes of shape across the air. The pieces breathe with a kind of uneasy familiarity. Sounds of the human world and the natural world co-exist at equal states of transformation - hinting at their former selves, but rarely revealing more than a glimpse into their original, unaltered state. This is weathered audio, refor- med through rapid evolution.”

fratto9 sono suoni che solcano un disco.
E' uno sguardo attento, meticoloso, preciso che non ha fretta.
E' la
trasposizione di uno sguardo in suono.
E' la conoscenza sensibile di tradurre uno sguardo in musica.
fratto9 é una fotografia in bianco e nero che cattura bellissimi colori.
supported by 5 fans who also own “Boccardi/English (excerpt)”
A most enjoyable release from start to finish I have no favorite song here because the whole album is an example of how albums are meant to be released. My compliments to all involved here on REMINISCENCES Michael LoCicero
