Dear friends Covid-19 is dangerously impacting the social-economic category of musicians. No concerts, poor political and social consideration, uncertain earnings.

It is increasingly difficult for me to follow and…

La musica cameristica per chitarra della compositrice Sofija Gubajdulina: GUBAIDULINA, S.: Guitar Works (Complete) (Tanenbaum) su #neuguitars #blog
https://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.573379 La maggior parte delle opere di Sofija Gubajdulina è costituita da musica cameristica strumentale. Un tale interesse per i generi da camera è facilmente spiegabile, date le grande possibilità di esecuzione che esse offrono anche con un numero esiguo di musicisti, e non va dimenticato che per Gubajdulina è importante il suono reale della…
The chamber music for guitar of the composer Sofija Gubajdulina: GUBAIDULINA, S .: Guitar Works (Complete) (Tanenbaum) on #neuguitars #blog
https://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.573379 Most of Sofija Gubajdulina’s works are instrumental chamber music. Such an interest in chamber genres is easily explained, given the great possibilities of performance that they offer even with a small number of musicians, and it should not be forgotten how much important is for Gubajdulina the real sound of the composition. But not…
Il processo virtuoso di Markus Reuter, Truce, MoonJune Records su #neuguitars #blog
https://markus-reuter-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/trucehttps://markus-reuter-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/truce Il nuovo disco di Markus Reuter, Truce, uscito nel 2020 per la benemerita MoonJune Records, mi ha stimolato alcune riflessioni sul ruolo del virtuoso nell’ambito della musica popular e sulla struttura musicale adottata da chi continua a rinnovare e innervare quel ramo della musica rock noto col nome di “Progressive”. Che Reuter e i…
Trey Gunn and Markus Reuter (Live at SeaProg 2019) on #neuguitars #blog
“Trey Gunn (King Crimson) and Markus Reuter (Stick Men) performed a thematic improvisation with live looping and electronic treatments. You’ll hear many layers of sound and some pre-composed motifs being traded and shared by each player. It was a surreal experience to hear these performers in person. I hope you enjoy the show!” – Anthony…

https://markus-reuter-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/truce Markus Reuter’s new album, Truce, released in 2020 for the praiseworthy MoonJune Records, has stimulated some reflections on the role of the virtuoso in the field of popular music and on the musical structure adopted by those who continue to renew and innervate that branch of rock music, known as “Progressive”.

Quando l’ambient diventa un’oscurità positiva: “The Wharmerall” di Silvia Cignoli su #neuguitars #blog
Qualche tempo fa avevo pubblicato un articolo sulla raccolta “Ambient 4: Isolationism”. Parlando di Isolazionismo, avevo scritto ”L’Isolazionismo sembra realizzare le perfette colonne sonore per film e racconti sulla distruzione del mondo o sull’annientamento di massa, diagnosi in risposta alla sovrappopolazione del pianeta. Il paesaggio sonoro vuoto, inoltre, sembra intimamente collegarsi con un forte senso…

When Ambient becomes a positive darkness: “The Wharmerall” by Silvia Cignoli on #neuguitars #blog
Some time ago I published an article on the collection “Ambient 4: Isolationism”. Speaking of Isolationism, I wrote ”Isolationism seems to create the perfect soundtracks for films and stories about the destruction of the world or mass annihilation, diagnosed in response to the overpopulation of the planet. The empty soundscape, moreover, seems to be intimately…
Una Gibson 335 per Javier Rosario, Javier Rosario Trio Vol.1: A Celebration of Life su #neuguitars #blog
https://www.javierrosarioguitar.com/ Una Gibson 335. Una forma ormai classica per l’iconicità della chitarra elettrica. Una chitarra versatile, duttile, dal suono facilmente identificabile. Un oggetto di design industriale, figlio di una produzione in scala che mira a produrre copie perfette, identiche, replicabili e vendute sul mercato di massa. Da uno strumento (tool) di questo tipo sembrerebbe impossibile…
