After experiencing the straight-edge hardcore scene, he began exploring the many realms of noise. He played his "destructive" djing within the group/label/collective Sonic Belligeranza. Rocchetti is now working on the composition of cinematic musical landscapes with the aid of old rare records, dusty analogue instruments as source material (old radios, customized turntables, grammophones...).

Xabier iriondo and mattia Coletti. Polvere by some means is the avant/kraut folk project of this couple of musicians and beside the experimental/post-psychedelic characteristics of the cd it shows their melodical/acoustic virtues.
The invitation to open the windows is a tribute to the inclusive approach of much of the avant-garde of the last century, starting from Satie's Furniture Music, through Russolo's Art of Noises, up to Cage 4'33". Manifesto/container of the project, battimenti di scrittura mista [Mixed Handwriting] sums up the concepts developed in the whole work. Melody and noise, micro-pauses and temperament, suspension and rhythm alternate in a kaleidoscope of colours gradually enriching as it…
One of their best releases so far - "Gruppo ormai storico che si avvicina a un nobile, quanto discreto, ventennale e che ha alle spalle un'assidua militanza tra le fila dell'industrial più sotterraneo, soprattutto in tempi come gli anni '80 in cui certi generi erano relegati a qualcosa di più marginale della semplice nicchia, i Tasaday si richiamano con questo loro ultimo lavoro In attesa, nel labirinto al …
Nothing is slow, deep and distressing like the music of Madrigali Magri and the voice of Mr. Succi of Bachi Da Pietra fame: Madrigali Magri have been cut their enviable space in italian rock underground scene, such to become an infuence for various italian bands. After "Negarville", "Malacarne" is their 2nd album on wallace records. They Split in 2005
Uncle William Borroughs would have loved a record like this, it's the result of a cut and paste process enriched by elements played with drums, guitars, vocals, bass, trumpet and many other things. he musicians of [1] Kilo of Black Bondage were united for the first time in 2003 during the I.D.E.A.L festival at the Lieu Unique in Nantes, France. Then, moving from stage to stage in France and Europe, they enriched and cultivated an original musical material made from evolving t…
rançois R. Cambuzat (vox & guitars), Chiara Locardi (bass & vox) and Jacopo Andreini (drums & horns). No musical directions: they confess at the moment a deep interest in Keiji Haino or Wadih el Safi, in modern contemporary classical music or in songs from the spanish civil war. A 360° view. The band is regulary touring all over Europe. Live, the songs are wild, making the press talk about them as a crossroad between melancholy and heavy rage, between the Velvet Und…
Heavly influenced by the seventies, this band is able as no one to pick those elements and build them in a fresh and modern kraut-psychedlic shape. Playing together since 1995, the four members of Bron y Aur , attracted soon attention thanks to the quality of the first two demotapes (1997 and 1998) and obviously for two previous albums. Always considered a band who take roots in the seventies, they don't hide having spent their days in youth between Zeppelin and Sabbath, to b…
Expressions of madness, allegory and bizzarre are the leit motiv of OvO's production, since ever. It looks like They finally decided to follow a melodic line, guided by percussions and dirty cutting guitars and bass. The vocals are still crazy and psychotic, in a punk attitude totally away from a song You would dedicate to Your mother. - Last track Ikusi Itsasoa is sinister yet quiet, like small spirits and smoking ghosts swirling through the darkness, while a flute starts trembling and p…
** LAST COPIES** This solo work by the 3/4hadbeeneliminated guitarist Stefano Pilia can aptly be defined “ecstatic”, in the purest sense of the term. Each guitar note seems to emanate from beneath an invisible surface, lingering for a few moments only to drop back down and be replaced by another; different harmonics emerge creating a restless resonance, and tiny clusters of melody appear and disappear before fading in the haze of a gorgeous drone. Stefano Pilia (1978) lives and works in Bologna.…
** LAST COPIES** Italian drummer Andrea Belfi truly drives his new solo release into a poly-rhythmic drum circle from another dimension. The whole work not only sounds wonderful but, more importantly, Andrea Belfi has developed a strong spatial sense characterized by a crystal clear cymbal tone, deep, warm bass drum, drone-like electronica and a never ending groove.Belfi manages to combine all the pieces of his puzzle into something with a consistent, downcast mood (The Wire)really a beautiful p…
This is Italy-based Andrea Belfi's second full-length release. Belfi is the drummer of Rosolina Mar and is a member of Medves along with Giuseppe Ielasi, Stefano Pilia, Renato Rinaldi and Riccardo Wanke. In 2002, Belfi embarked on a vast project, which, in time, would become Between Neck & Stomach. The first recordings took place at Valerio Tricoli's (member of 3/4HadBeenEliminated) house in Bologna. Between Neck & Stomach is grounded on two core elements: the first is the material collected du…
"19 minute EP from Otomo, his first this week. All manner of high pitched or just plain aggravative tones juxtaposed in a not-entirely-un-Mego/Ikeda-like fashion. Rather non-sleep inducing. By a long shot. Good for what ails you though." -- Hrvatski.
