Recensione di Craig Green + David King, 2009 Long Song Records https://www.craigjgreen.com/ http://www.longsongrecords.com/discography/craig-green-david-king/ E’ da diverso tempo che sto notando un curioso e singolare avvicinamento tra due mondi tra loro all’apparenza inconciliabili: la musica “colta” di chiara estrazione accademica e contemporanea e la musica d’avanguardia che proviene dai circuiti free jazz, hardcore e dalla downtown…

#Review of “Furore” by Simone Massaron, Long Song Records, 2018 on #neuguitars #blog
Review of “Furore” by Simone Massaron, Long Song Records, 2018 http://www.longsongrecords.com/discography/simone-massaron-furore/ I had almost forgotten what a good guitar player Simone Massaron is. It’s nonsense I know, but it can happen, especially when you follow a guitarist carefully for a long time, you obsessively listen to his records and you fall in love with his…

Recensione di “Furore” di Simone Massaron, Long Song Records, 2018 http://www.longsongrecords.com/discography/simone-massaron-furore/ Mi ero quasi dimenticato di quanto fosse bravo Simone Massaron. E’ una sciocchezza lo so, ma può succedere, specialmente quando segui attentamente un chitarrista per molto tempo, ne ascolti ossessivamente i dischi e ti innamori della sua poetica. Insomma…ti adagi, dai molte cose per…

Around the age of 12 and I know my older cousin had an acoustic guitar that I used to plonk on. Maybe that’s the reason my mom and dad got me one. (The why I’m still…

#Review of Talknoise by Ernesto Orrico and Massimo Garritano, Manitù Records, 2018 on #neuguitars #blog
Review of Talknoise by Ernesto Orrico and Massimo Garritano, Manitù Records, 2018 Talknoise. Nomen est omen.

Recensione di The Switch, Body/Head, Matador Records, 2018 http://bodyheadmusic.com/ https://bodyhead.bandcamp.com/album/the-switch Sturm und Drang per chitarre. Niente battiti. Niente ritmo. Lento. Un ecosistema sonico scuro, denso, quasi inesorabile. Un’alchimia di intenti, di suoni sorprendentemente integrati e condivisi. Una Kim Gordon che non sembra davvero voler abdicare al suo ruolo di prima donna nell’alt-art-rock e continua a…

Review of The Switch, Body/Head, Matador Records, 2018 http://bodyheadmusic.com/ https://bodyhead.bandcamp.com/album/the-switch Sturm und Drang for guitars. No beats. No rhythm. Slow. A dark, dense, almost inexorable sonic ecosystem. An alchemy of intentions, of sounds that are surprisingly integrated and shared.
