“Materiale Resistente 1945-1995” and “Songs Of Resistance 1942-2018”. It’s time for a new Resistance The times are back. The times are the same. Two records. These are records for these times.

Due dischi per la precisione.

Long live Radiohead (and also Paolo Angeli) on #neuguitars #blog
Long live Radiohead (and also Paolo Angeli) At the end of 2018 Paolo Angeli realized his last record 22.22 Free Radiohead and I found myself facing a problem: how to adequately review this disc having only a brief knowledge of this group? I admit. When Radiohead raged in the late 90s and early 2000s, my…
Lunga vita ai Radiohead (e anche a Paolo Angeli) su #neuguitars #blog
Lunga vita ai Radiohead (e anche a Paolo Angeli) Quando alla fine del 2018 Paolo Angeli ha realizzato il suo ultimo disco 22.22 Free Radiohead mi sono trovato di fronte a un problema, come recensire adeguatamente questo disco avendo solo una conoscenza sommaria di questo gruppo? Lo ammetto. Quando i Radiohead furoreggiavano alla fine degli…
The clarinet and the guitar in contemporary music on #neuguitars #blog
It may seem strange, but both in the field of classical and contemporary music there is a void regarding the repertoire for classical guitar and clarinet duo. A void that has been partially filled by three CDs entirely dedicated to this particular formation. I note with a little bit of pride as these three CDs…
Il clarinetto e la chitarra nella musica contemporanea su #neuguitars #blog
Può sembrare strano ma sia nell’ambito della musica classica che in quella contemporanea si registra un vuoto per quanto riguarda il repertorio per duo chitarra classica e clarinetto. Un vuoto che è stato parzialmente colmato da tre cd interamente dedicati a questa formazione particolare. Faccio notare con un certo orgoglio che si tratta di tre…

Fennesz: PLAYS and Agora, more than twenty years of experimental music http://www.fennesz.com/ https://fenneszreleases.bandcamp.com/track/umbrella https://touch33.net/catalogue/to115-fennesz-agora.html The new record release, new after a prolonged silence of almost 5 years from the previous cd “Bécs”, made in 2014, by Austrian guitarist Christian Fennesz aroused in me the desire to make a sort of time travel, returning to those…

A journey through the guitar’s music of Axel Borup-Jørgensen (1924-2012) on #neuguitars #blog
A journey through the guitar’s music of Axel Borup-Jørgensen (1924-2012) “Since the modernist movement in music was accepted earlier and more decisively in Sweden than in Denmark, Borup-Jørgensen’s enduring ties with Sweden where he grew up may partly explain the persistent modernist aspects of his work. He was one of the few Danish composers to…

“Electric currents ripple thru the atmosphere. A chill shimmering, a delicate light passes thru me. I am frail, about to break, ready to suffer the winds of change. I see turrets and spires rising up, protecting the farmlands. Carpets of logic blanket the fields. Twosmall and beautiful blonde children stand at the far end of…

Manuel Göttsching The Kosmic Courier on #neuguitars #blog
https://www.ashra.com/news.php Are two records enough to trace the future? Yes, if your name is Manuel Göttsching and you are a Cosmic Courier. Don’t you belive in me? Well, to understand it we need to start with some history. Born in Berlin in August 1952, Manuel Göttsching founded with bassist Hartmut Enke his first semi-professional group…

What can we say about Pat Metheny that has not already been written, considered and… listen to? Pat Metheny has been able to build over the years an excellent career and also one of the most recognizable guitar sounds, even for non-connoisseurs. The less knowledgeables should remember him especially for the records made with the…
