about

Balestrazzi and Quiriconi have performed together many times over the last few years both with the deep drone audio/visual project DAIMON and Balestrazzi guesting with Quriconi’s long lived ensemble VipCancro. “Licheni” documents their first meeting as a duo and explores an adventurous sonic territory between free improv and microsound. Balestrazzi (T.A.C., Dream Weapon Ritual, A Sphere Of Simple Green et al.) has been around for more of three decades painstakingly experimenting in various fields, here his amplified objects and self built little instruments are confronted with the angular frequencies of Quiriconi’s voice and contact microphones. The overwhelmingly tactile sounds which the duo produces are so finely intertwined that like real life lichens each musician’s sound cell and particle needs the presence of the other’s to come to life, create dynamics, give way to a dense electroacoustic ecosystem where tiny sound objects, voice and assorted debris are bowed, struck, excited in every possible way.
“Licheni” is a journey with no discernible beginning or end, a fertile soil for the growth of new unpredictable sound forms.

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.
