A hypnotic, solemn, concrete and haunting record. Gabriele Gasparotti (Extrema Ratio) composes electroacoustic music on analogue instruments. "Instantanee" (snapshots), were created with semi-modular synthesizers (Buchla Easel and Korg, MS20 & SQ10), with added prepared piano, strings, turntable and environmental recordings. "Analogue synths have a strong random component from which much of their charm derives: they are machines that have almost a life of their own, so every sonic event that arises from them is by virtue of their particular structure and their sensitivity, unrepeatable... he tries to stop the moment by choosing between different types of tape according to the sound performance, just like the photographer selects the film on which to impress a moment. The effect is that of waves that intersect each other, weaving harmonic, disharmonious, polyrhythmic carpets, at the mercy of an incessant Brownian motion, of a pitching followed by a sudden deflating, with the sound that deforms, tapers, until it flattens out totally just before rushing back with the tide. Photographic abstraction to look at with the ears" (The New Noise). Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel raw card digipak filled with analogue photos.
