SIMON BALESTRAZZI - Atti Innaturali CD
Release of October 1, 2022.
Simon Balestrazzi's (T.A.C., Candor Chasma, Daimon, Hidden Reverse, Dream Weapon Ritual, Sarang and more) new effort makes use of rather sparse instrumentation.
The
prepared strings of a battered Ukrainian tsymbaly (a
percussion-stringed instrument similar to the hammered dulcimer) are
excited with an eBow and only occasionally struck. Also they are
processed in real time through a ring modulator, a digital spectral
delay and a looper, stretching the sonic possibilities in an unnatural
way.
This iridescent mass, sometimes rich in abrasive clatters,
sometimes in profound resonating harmonics, is intertwined with the
droning undulations of a vintage VCS3 synthesizer.
Finally the rare tolls of UFIP Ogororo plates offer a sombre
punctuation. These few elements conjure a deep and subtle tangle of
flickering forms that guide us through a meditative and almost
trance-inducing process.
Conceived as a three-part suite, "Atti Innaturali" stretches the listener across time and space.
Comes as CD in 6-panel digisleeve limited to 200 copies.
