Both albums offer a dynamic range of processed concrète sounds—ambient miniatures made of slippery tones.
Abnormal mind expanding landscapes
Andrea Marutti is one pioneering sound art and ambient drone music producer with a large catalogue of recordings published on his own indie label (AFE — Another Friendly Edition) and well noted niche publishers such as Eibon and Nextera.
Part of his new efforts are welcomed by the Belgium based label Taâlem (whose production is mostly devoted to experimental and underground electronic music with a fancy for droney artefacts). Among those last offerings sleepless nights | lysergic mornings plays with convincing technical abilities and inspirational inclinations on the wave of radical minimalism and eerily moving vaporous soundscapes—with Vance Orchestra and Quest. As stated in the press release the psych-out and extra-sensorial dimension is put to the front in those dense, ominous clouds of sounds and sustained electronic chords. The ensemble has a beautiful and striking vintage organic feel which give a heart ahead of the electronic curves. Repetition of phrases, looped textures are subtly punctuated by abstract micro-noises and musique concrète sounds. Somewhere between Deathprod, early Cluster I & II, Folk Rabe, and early Vidna Obmana.
Impressioni organizzate di ansie liquide is composed in collaboration with the multimedia sound artist Carlo Giordani, Fabio Orsi, and Gregory Kramer. The approach is still sensitive but gives a chance to more conceptual leanings and aleatoric sound manipulations mostly found in electro-acoustic researches, notably from the GRM (group de recherche musicale). A diversified palette of further concrète sounds interact with fractal waves, distorted power noises, erratic cuts and enveloping cinematic drones. One immersive dive in abnormal mind expanding landscapes.
All in all, both albums offer a dynamic range of processed concrète sounds—ambient miniatures made of slippery tones. These are offered as limited micro CDr edition.
sleepless nights | lysergic mornings and impressioni organizzate di ansie liquide are available on Taâlem.
