about

A Sphere Of Simple Green is the trio of Adriano Orrù (doublebass), Silvia Corda (piano and toy piano) and Simon Balestrazzi (electronics and sound objects). Six years after "Untitled Soundscapes", their debut on Magick With Tears, they are finally back with a batch of new tracks.

Formed in 2010 and mostly devoted to a personal form of non-idiomatic improv, the small ensemble operates intermittently:
"The three of us don't play much often together as ASoSG but when it happens new material sprouts up in the most immediate and spontaneous way. We never decide before what to play or how, nor we have an agenda. When we meet we don't talk much about music but about people, books, movies, politics... We belong together in that sort of unassuring freedom given us by the fact that our sound cannot be easily pigeonholed".

So this new album, coming after a long hiatus, is not the result of a shared research in sound and musical language but it rather represents the confluence of three very different paths, three personalities striving for a common ground.
The sound architecture of "With An Oblique Glance" swells and unravels with a dense textural interaction between acoustic and electronic sounds, a constant juxtaposition of extended techniques and real time digital processing as if the ensemble was trying to blur the limits of given language and form. Is not so surprising then that all titles relate to perception, liminality and boundaries.
"We've chosen to allow ourself the greatest possible freedom and this makes us play together with an even greater attention. Listening carefully one another, finding a balance through silence and spaciousness are the most important elements at play, what we really are focused on".

Rock oltre il rock, funk oltre il funk, elettronica oltre all'elettronica...più un sacco di altre belle cose che sintetizzano le varie anime vonneumanniane in quello che probabilmente è il loro album più fruibile...e quando dico fruibile é un eufemismo: sta roba dà chiaramente dipendenza. Come da tradizione, le canzoni sono scrigni pieni di dettagli musicali intriganti che si moltiplicano ad ogni ascolto, gioielli di arrangiamento, gemme di composizione. Un album che sembra il frutto della freschezza e vivacità d'un gruppo esordiente, ma composto ed eseguito con la perizia di musicisti navigati. ... e, visto che anche l'occhio vuole la sua parte, aggiungo pure che l'artwork é meraviglioso. Magnifico. Michele M.
