Does a Noise dude know anything about Luciano Cilio?

i think he played on the two Armando Piazza records i put on the ysi thread today.

no wonder everyone hates me

this label has some of the most beautiful limited edition packages I've ever seen, I wish there were more word-of-mouth on the music on them, most are too expensive to casually check out

I've shelled out for the Kubisch and the Pietro Grossi LP, both are good & the packaging incredible but... not good enough to have me crawling back $30 at a time without a rave recommendation

it's already making more sense on the 2nd spin

you can definitely hear how o'rourke ran with this for things like upgrade and afterlife & bad timing

you definitely have to be in the mood for it, though. if you're not already there, it's a fight.

TOO BAD

luv, k!lly incarnate

that's great, much closer to Battiato with the shameless synth mix, but if the whole record is like that, that's more my speed than 'sulle'

another record that's coming to mind is Alvin Curran's 'fiori chiori, fiori oscuri', chamber & piano solos bridged by field recordings and rolling drones

cilio is kind of in his own vacuum chamber though. I like the audible mixing on this. It's possible you have to already be in a severe mood to have this music start talking to you.

Whoops, wrong board.

Luigi Colani is a sculptor, painter, flight engineer, technical designer and city planner by occupation, but aerodynamicists, 3-D and form philosopher from passion.

He studied at the Academy of Art in Berlin and aerodynamics at the Sorbonne University.

i just pulled out a bunch of weirdo italian records because of this thread. first on is Franco Batiato. "Echos of Sufi Dances" from 85. then Pappalardo "Immersione". and then Jannacci "Discogreve" that i kept just because the cover is so ridiulous. i don't remember ever liking any of them.

u ever hear Alan Sorrenti?

one of the dudes that seems to have worked w/all these italian art rock dudes is Toni Esposito

bumrocks has been doing a lil weeklong feature on him.

listened to Sorrenti's Aria once -- need to listen again

Battisti's Anima Latina is still doing my head in, so I've gone back for more context to Area's Crac! (have you heard this?), Stratos, Battiato. Giusto Pio's Motore immobile. That 70's stuff all kind of on the same page. Also Gruppo Nuovo's The Feed-back, the Scelsi orchestral stuff, Alvin Curran's fiori chiari, fiori oscuri.

Tonight, Bruno Maderna's 50's electronic tape music is coming off the shelf, because of these insane clips, knowing what's up -- http://audiolemon.blogspot.com/2007/07/rai-studio-of-musical-phonology.html

can't believe how good marino zuccheri's music sounds in that second youtube clip. I heard his album on die schachtel and it was fairly decent drone, but the piece in that clip is mazes ahead for 55

great record

it really is

I take back everything. It took me 5 years to finally hear this, but it's really beautiful. Even the really long, boring, drawn out breathy parts. Reading tim's first review of it, this time I said "oh, that sounds cool". Ha. I guess because most of last year I listened to nothing but new age. Reminds me a bit of the Julie tippets stuff. Makes me want to dive into some 20th cent stuff. Any starting points besides what was mentioned on this thread?

you might like Giusto Pio's Motore Immobile, but this record's got its own thing going on

anyone who goes into this expecting a new age record is going to get themselves a tiny bit dinged up before it's over, it's relaxing like electrified acupuncture

Dell’Universo Assente is the best re-issue of this year, so suffused with mystery, melancholy and beauty.

context!
