Complexity and depth in Joe Morris’s music, Macrocom and Ultra on #neuguitars #blog
Joe Morris’s photo @ Scott Friedlander https://joemorrisritiglacialeratic.bandcamp.com/album/macrocosm https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/album/joe-morris-ultra Susan Sontag represents an almost enigmatic figure for me. Essayist, writer, director, political activist, the Sontag represents an inexhaustible source of contrasting ideas and points of view on today’s world. Her ideas have the merit of being interesting and current even if Sontag died in 2004 and…

Complessità e profondità nella musica di Joe Morris https://joemorrisritiglacialeratic.bandcamp.com/album/macrocosm https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/album/joe-morris-ultra Susan Sontag rappresenta una figura per me quasi enigmatica. Saggista, scrittrice, regista, attivista politica, la Sontag rappresenta una sorgente inesauribile di idee e punti vista contrastanti sul mondo odierno. Le sue idee hanno il pregio di mantenersi interessanti e attuali anche se la Sontag è…

The first flight of Oren Fader, First Flight, Oren Fader, cdbaby, 2004 on #neuguitars #blog
http://www.orenfader.com https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/orenfader2 It really seems that no one can get bored in the field of contemporary music for guitar. If in fact some classical players continue today to complain about the limitations of their classical repertoire in comparison to other instruments like violin, piano, etc., or even worse, or we have to listen to the…
Il primo volo di Oren Fader, First Flight, Oren Fader, cdbaby, 2004 su #neuguitars #blog
http://www.orenfader.com https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/orenfader2 Sembra davvero che non ci si possa annoiare nell’ambito della musica per chitarra contemporanea. Se infatti si continua ancora oggi nell’ambito del repertorio classico ad ascoltare i mesti sospiri di chi si lamenta per i limiti del repertorio o, peggio ancora, le elucubrazioni di chi ipotizza o sogna che “Ah… se Beethoven avesse…

Alcune riflessioni su Set7 di Maurizio Pisati, Kairos, 2018 su #neuguitars #blog
https://www.kairos-music.com/cds/0015052kai http://www.mauriziopisati.com/ https://www.rubenmattiasantorsa.com/ La musica di Maurizo Pisati ha un sostanziale difetto: non viene sufficientemente registrata e fissata su disco. Un difetto comune a molti altri bravi compositori contemporanei, ma che nel caso di Pisati si traduce in una sorta di “ritardo nel segnale” nell’ambito della sua evoluzione stilistica. Questo “Set7”, uscito alla fine del…
