391 | Vol.10 Friuli - Venezia Giulia - Voyage Through The Deep 80s Underground In Italy
Friuli and Venezia Giulia, have often been judged by some reviewers as some strange, exotic places, almost hidden in the upper right side of Italy's map. In fact, if compared to the average Italian habits, we got used to feeling marginal and eccentric. Yet, in the Eighties, Udine, being one of the main military service stations in the country, was a destination place for youngsters from all over Italy. Around six in the evening, the city center was literally invaded by an army of young people fr…
Canzoni Dada, 1981-1985
"If this band from Vicenza found a place in Italian rock history, it is mainly because of their [1983] debut [self-titled] mini-LP... duly presented here at the beginning of the tracklist. I hope the frontman Sergio Volpato will forgive me if I say that, despite the quality of the following releases, their mythical status (small as it may be) is owed to that first piece of vinyl originally released by LM Records and coproduced by Discotape, a record store in Marostica. An enigmatic cover, a made…

Cupo
A hypnotic demonstration of improvisation, and an ode to the free-jazz and DIY cultures the two artists rose from, Cupo ultimately becomes an object of intuition that marks both a turning point and coming together of two of London’s most imaginative figures.‘Cupo’ is the debut collaborative album by London based producer/percussionist Valentina Magaletti and enigmatic artist Laila Sakini, deploying an orchestra-sized ensemble of instruments thru dub, ambient, modern classical, and effortlessly e…
Temporary Requiem
Temporary Requiem is a mass for dance - the music score to “Known Mass. No. 3: St. Maurice.” A collaboration with Ann Glaviano, a dance maker and choreographer (and friend since our time together at a girl's Catholic school in New Orleans), it utilizes heavily dissected and altered passages of the traditional Latin requiem mass as the accompanying text across 6 movements. As the mission of “St. Maurice” is to build and break down a lost church over the span of the performance, the music serves t…

Live Anywhere
*2023 stock* "Live Anywhere captures the duo incarnation of this Chicago electronic group. The band members seem to be young, so it's somewhat unsurprising that they draw influences from current electronic music. There's an element of chaotic noise from the Wolf Eyes school, and an element of synth freakiness reminiscent of artists like Keith Fullerton Whitman or Ben Vida. The surprising part is when historical referents sneak in — their approach to sound also reveals obvious traces of Bruce …
Melting The Earth Onto The Body Without Organs
*2023 stock* "The new Sagat is truly emotional: the drums are neat and the sounds are warm. Tight groovy rhythms travelling within layers of the deepest dark dub without sounding evident or tried. Familiar but new. Precise funk made of techno frequencies. Reverb and delays that bring butter to your ears: melting the earth onto your body. "Melt" is a body: it has a rhythmic pattern and synths that pop up like a breathing living organism. "Earth" is the landscape: you can visualize it. "Organs" is…

The Surveillance Lounge

Also considered relative neighbours on the rugged West Coast of Ireland, Nurse With Wound and multi-instrumentalist Aranos here reprise a creative relationship ongoing since 1997’s ‘Acts of Senseless Beauty’, with just shy of 2 hours of metaphysical drift; departing with the anaesthetising atmospheres and creepy piano of ‘Letter From Torpor (Draft)’, and …
