Label: Ricerca Sonora - BW10

イタリア実験&アンビエント界隈でも重要な存在になりつつある中堅Fabio OrsiとClaudio Rocchettiが初の共同作品としてリリースしたLPタイトル。もの悲しい賛美歌や牧歌を使いつつ、どちらにも寄せ過ぎず程よい速度と荒涼とした空気感で仕上げた2パート編成の長編[Cascando]のみで勝負。非常に怖く美しい作品です。



The work of both Fabio Orsi and Claudio Rocchetti has long been a varied study in internal dynamics. Through an array of instruments and sound sources, Orsi and Rocchetti have made an album that both feels very internal, and yet firmly roots observation on the external; that which is indeed beyond view. The very 'falling' of Cascando is at play across the work. Typically, of course, one associates the act of falling as a negative; something which is accidental and brings pain. Yet as the album begins with its harsh insect-like frequencies, so it ends in a similar vein as the fall implied is complete. Quite beyond that which one would expect however, the end result of said fall is one that is considered, calm, and ultimately, biotic. The slowing down of everything gives us time to see beyond life's noise, with its diversions and tracts. It helps us to absorb but to also look deeper, further, and onward, to a place we can call our own, to a place we can call home.
