Luca Bevacqua :: Alpi Graie e Pennine EP (Detroit Underground)

Both subtle and saturated with distilled microsound layers, Alpi Graie e Pennine is simply otherworldly and comes highly recommended.

Disheveled sonic beauty

Alpi Graie e Pennine by Luca Bevacqua—named after a section of the Italian Alps—is a four-piece suite of rhythmic electrical structures and disconnected shapes that cross each other in a delightful maze. From “Capra Ibex,” which features a somewhat short-lived Clark-like synthscaping sound design, to “Disputed Territory,” exploring shape-shifted glitch mechanisms, Luca Bevacqua’s skillful attention to finely tuned noise fields expands at several skewed angles. On the closing side of this extended player, the ruggedness and atmospheric nature of “Order of the Rose of the Berms” feels calm and almost translucent, as the brittle ambient pulse of “Pink Massif” floats by with disheveled sonic beauty, bookending this intriguing listening experience. Both subtle and saturated with distilled microsound layers, Alpi Graie e Pennine is simply otherworldly and comes highly recommended.

Alpi Graie e Pennine is available on Detroit Underground. [Bandcamp]
