Nheap : Fragments Of Life [AT061]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“This is a very different album from my latest (not NheapXP) ones, being heavily influenced by lofi and house (but for this very reason it’s also a throwback to my very first works from the late 2000s). As always I tried to pay particular attention to the melody and, in this case, also to somewhat vintage atmospheres (but at the same time without completely neglecting experimentation).”

Nheap XP : Inside Talk [AT059]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Nheap XP is the moniker under which the musician Massimo Discepoli produces music which, in contrast to the more experimental and ambient one that he has been making under his real name for several years, is here instead inspired by club culture, pop and old and new electronics. Featuring Natascia Verde’s beautiful voice on all tracks, the music here is feel good, atmospheric, full of angelic voices, danceable, sometimes kitsch, sometimes celtic, sometimes saccharine rich.”

Daniel Barbiero, Cristiano Bocci ‎: Now/Here [AT057]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Now, Here: the most basic points of reference by which we locate ourselves in time and place at any given moment. And yet they are constantly moving, changing. Now is the vanishing point of the present continuously slipping into Then and reaching out to Not-yet; Here just as quickly becomes There. Now and Here turn out to inhabit the abyss of Nowhere in a paradox of reciprocity–much like Heraclitus’ road up being the same as the road down: One is nowhere and now here, at the same time.
The essential elusiveness of Now and Here inspired the music on Now/Here. The ephemerality of sound simply transposes the ephemerality of our being Here and Now into a more literal, more compressed (and more easily observed) key. Sound arises from silence and is now/here; it reverts back into silence and is nowhere. In an endless cycle.”

Nunun : Inner [AT054]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Five years after ‘Seven Mirrors’, Inner is the new album by Nunun (Cesare Discepoli: guitar, effects; Massimo Discepoli: drums). Composed and recorded between 2014 and 2016, this is the duo’s more introspective album, resulting from the need of a musical research by the two musicians, but at the same time always crossing the path of experimentation and improvisation present in previous discs.”

Massimo Discepoli & Daniel Barbiero : An Eclipse of Images [AT053]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“The seven multilayered pieces presented here are hybrids meticulously built up of acoustic and electronic elements both composed and improvised. Synthesizing a complex relationship of lyricism and abstraction, acoustic double bass and drums define melodic and rhythmic figures against an ambient field constructed of electronic textures. The emergent sound is a weave of modallyinflected melodies floating over propulsive, intricate rhythms and harmonic blocks carved out of electronic matter.”

Melinda Ligeti : Belonging [AT050]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Disillusion, solitude, reminiscence, believing, traveling, loving, belonging.
Belonging to somebody, to yourself, to nature, dreams, to the unknown,
to something, to anything, to no one and nothing.
Belonging to the thought of not belonging. Either way – we all belong.
Melinda Ligeti”

McGuffin Electric : Brightelephant [AT038]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Brightelephant is a collection of sinking, memories, human bodies, battleships and battlekisses. And elephants, of course. Each of the 7 pieces in it is as abstract as it is concrete. Old-fashioned sounds for modern, turmoil, times. Halting, skeletal and serious-less chamber music for irrational listeners.”

Sergi Boal : Cercle [AT036]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Cercle is my most spiritual project. The most introspective. In this little EP the music flows, the themes don’t have any concrete structure, and maybe this gives the sensation of a visual dream, the sensation that you are floating, and you could create images, thoughts, sensations…. Not having a concrete structure, there’s no beginning, no end; it’s like a circle!

All the songs were recorded in one or two takes. Only with a nylon guitar.
The music was almost improvised, except the theme ‘Nils’ that was a rework of the pianist Nils Frahm, from one song of his album Screws, trying to ‘move’ the sounds of his personal piano, to the guitar..
I recorded this EP with Hector Xiqués ( I/O Estudi de Gravació, Barcelona), and we tried to give that especial sound of the guitar, with some delays, and reverbs.

This is a joint release with Alchemistica netlabel.”
