'After Dinner Black Out' is the debut of Italian musician Donato Epiro, is a nearly 20 minute experiment in sound collage. A single track, the composition is made of several pieces of music and found sound, each cut to a reasonable length of no shorter than 30 seconds and up to five minutes. Like Ferrari's compositional musique concrète, the sounds are intimately related, though not necessarily by timbre, tone, or anything else apparent to the unacquainted listener. All sounds are pleasant and clear as they are made to stand alone, satisfying merely by their presence. Water drips and a woman gasps with excitement. A cello squeaks with curiosity. Drum sticks prattle over a kit in free form. An overpowering by excerpted musical passages takes hold, and before mid-track a song seems wont to break out, the elements aligned in a coup against the lack of structure. However, this dissipates as quickly as it formed, the author denying our basest desires to hear a familiar rhythm. The sweeps of viola which end the piece signal a mature, studied chaos, a meticulous sequencing and pacing which fulfills music by defying it. CDr comes tabbed in a handmade folder of heavy paper with color art, hand-numbered to 106.
