TEA FOR TWO

 

TEA FOR TWO

Mi piace pensare che durante un incontro tra due musicisti ci sia stato un tè condiviso.
Ed ecco qui una serie di dischi suonati in duo, con le loro storie e aneddoti.

w/ Gianmaria Aprile

Non solo un garbuglio di suoni. Mi piace sentire l’odore del bosco, camminare, cucinare, bere, leggere, ascoltare musica e suonarla (tutte azioni da comuni mortali), ma non mi sembra di farlo mai abbastanza. Diverse volte ho registrato, altre volte ho fatto il mix e la post-produzione e a suo tempo ho curato un’etichetta - fratto9 - mentre co-organizzavo un festival - tagofest - Nel frattempo ho inciso e stampato a mano senza accorgermene - sentimento inatteso -mentre la FANGO è diventata la mia seconda casa.

Oort (Michele Anelli e Nicholas Remondino)

Share

Oort is a duo based in Italy, formed by the improvisers and sound artists Michele Anelli e Nicholas Remondino. 


Their research is focused on the, apparent, contrast between acoustic and electronic sound with a marked sense of composition in the improvisation.

The fascination for the animal souls and behavior rapresenting an important guiding light for their aestethics.

Francesco Giannico, Anacleto Vitolo "There Is No Longer Any Turning Back"

Share

There is no longer any turning back is an excerpt from ”The Aphorisms of Zürau”, a posthumous work by Franz Kafka. The work represents a path without obstacles, a descending abyss toward ourselves, toward the roughness of our deepest selves that we cannot explain and probably cannot confess.

The individual track titles make up another excerpt by David Foster Wallace from an interview with David Lipsky: «The part of me that thought I was different or smarter or whatever almost killed me.»

Tilli/Tramontana - Down At The Docks

Share

“This dialogue between them sounds both genuine and profound; a sort of four-handed diary, reflecting throughout the natural moods, signs, colours, and spaces. Allusions, rips, bursts of humour and sudden gusts of poetry flow into each other in an unusual animation based on strings, wood, breaths and brass.
Musical stories that linger with you.”

Giuseppe Ielasi-Andrew Pekler "Holiday for Sampler"

Share

In April 2011 Giuseppe Ielasi and Andrew Pekler met for a three day recording session at Pekler's studio in Berlin. In a comfortable atmosphere and with a minimum of preparation, the two artists endeavored to find common musical ground through their shared interests in sample manipulation, layering the texture and improvisation. Some months later Ielasi auditioned the recordings and then mixed down his favorite passages. To a few of these selections Pekler then added an overdub or an edit, but for the most part "Holiday for Samples" is a document of real-time interaction.  Mixed and mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi and with cover artwork by Andrew Pekler.

Francesco Giannico & Giulio Aldinucci "Agoraphonia" (2016, Dronarium)

Share

A town square is an open public space commonly found in the heart of a traditional town and used for community gatherings. Based on this basic perspective, it is easy to notice how the soundscape of this living center could represent not only sonically, but also from a cultural point of view, a priceless document. After an open call lasted 6 months to send most interesting audio material concerning the theme of the “square” the samples have been selected and reworked in order to create an ideal symphony of all living squares all over the world. After some months a minor open call was done also to obtain photos about the same theme in order to realize a coherent packaging.

Daniel Bruno/Javier Bustos "Boca de piedra"

Share

Daniel Bruno: trombone, electronics
Javier Bustos: experimental lutherie, electronics

Recorded by Eric Kamatsu at Estudio El Cubo, Buenos Aires (Argentina), on November 11th, 2019

Mixed and mastered by Daniel Bruno and Javier Bustos
released January 11, 2022

Daniel Bruno è un trombonista e artista visivo di Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ha studiato musica al Conservatorio Manuel de Falla e all'Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM). Il suo lavoro si concentra sulle intersezioni tra musica improvvisata, composizione, movimento, rumore ed elettronica.

Daniel esplora la diversità del suono e della tecnica in contesti diversi. Appassionato di media, natura e tecnologia, ha creato uno spazio di sperimentazione che evoca sia l'istinto umano che l'innovazione industriale. Utilizzando tecniche di editing e composizione del suono, produce una varietà di opere di disegno, pittura e video. La sua pratica artistica è caratterizzata dall'integrazione di tecnologie accessibili e dispositivi analogici, creando una tavolozza di espressioni visive e sonore.Indaga continuamente su come decostruire le funzioni strumentali per trovare un'identità individuale come solista, collaboratore e accompagnatore.

Javier Bustos vive e lavora a Buenos Aires dove è compositore, sound artist e insegnante. Ha studiato Bachelor of Arts presso la Facoltà di Filosofia e Lettere dell'Università di Buenos Aires; composizione e programmazione musicale privatamente con diversi insegnanti.Ha studiato in modo informale chitarra, violino ed elettronica applicata al suono.

Il suo lavoro si sviluppa in modo multidisciplinare nell'ambito della liuteria sperimentale, dove esplora la gestualità di oggetti e materiali di uso quotidiano in combinazione con tecnologie precarie.

Da questa ricerca progetta i propri dispositivi sonori, acustici ed elettronici per performance dal vivo di musica sperimentale, improvvisazione libera e installazioni multimediali.Ha partecipato a prestigiose mostre di sound art, progetti di danza contemporanea, teatro e audiovisivi sia a livello locale che internazionale.

Attualmente è membro del corpo docente del corso post-laurea in Musica Espansa, Dipartimento di Arti Sonore, Universidad Nacional de San Martín, e del corso di Suono II, nella Laurea in Tecnologia Multimediale, Universidad Maimónides.

Ha insegnato "Progettazione multimediale" e "Storia della comunicazione visiva" (Macchi) presso la Facoltà di Architettura, Design e Urbanistica dell'Università di Buenos Aires dal 2005 al 2012. Attualmente conduce laboratori di ricerca sulla "poetica dell'esplorazione sonora".
