2014 release ** "Alessandra Novaga plays the electric guitar and this is her solo debut, with five songs composed for her by Paula Matthusen, Travis Just, Sandro Mussida, Vittorio Zago and Francesco Gagliardi: all top-notch musicians, who left in Alessandra's hands scores that were very little "classical" on which she was able to give space to her personality by interpreting and shaping the sound. Because the sound is the basis of the whole album, in this case that of an electric guitar and an amplifier: nothing else is needed, few effects and no accompaniments, but this apparent simplicity is counterbalanced by a mastery and harmony with the instrument that is not at all obvious or banal; for intentions and intensity, Noel Ackoté's "Joseph trilogy" came to mind, another case in which the "pure" sound of the guitar was explored and explored with creativity and rigor. Even those who are not familiar with contemporary improvisation can certainly appreciate La Chambre Des Jeux Sonores, rather, you need to pay attention when listening to catch the various nuances and fully enjoy this remarkable record: whistles, echoes, buzzes and the whole range of sounds that the instrument in question can produce and even notes, but this is not "only" the point; listen after listen, the interpretations that can be given to the record are varied and multifaceted and delving into La Chambre Des Jeux Sonores is a very rewarding experience."
