Aspec(t)

SEC_: Revox tape recorder, computer samples, no-input feedbacks manipulated on tape. Mario Gabola: feedback and acoustic sax, minitape, self-made electroacoustic chain of feed-drums and piezo-speaker feedback. Aspec(t) are SEC_ and Mario Gabola from Naples, Italy. Their music shares the timbrical research and the execution control typical of some radical impro music (Pateras-Baxter-Brown, John Butcher, Jim Denley, Bruce Russell), but meets the visceral intensity and the obscure poetic of the new aktionsm and of noise music (Rudolf Eb.er, Dave Phillips, Joke Lanz) as well as the research on analog devices and concrete sound materials of the sonic poetry (Lionel Marchetti, Jerome Noetinger). The result is a fascinating and inextricable forest of sounds: frenetic structures, noise explosions, ancestral cries, an unceasing perversion of the soundscape and the time stream. Feedback, self-regulating systems, mimicry, mutations, becoming-animal, asymmetrical dislocation are some of the keywords.
