Pagetos: Out Now!

Pagetos (with Uggeri/Giannico) is out now on Boring Machines and Grey Sparkle.
You can order here or here

Review from Steve Dewhurst for Fluid Radio:
The fourth instalment in the ‘Between The Elements’ series, Pagetos begins with the early crackles of ice forming on trees, treating the wee small hours as a blank canvas on which to layer and creep before the inevitable melt and disintegration come sunrise…

This is music in extreme close up, locked on miniature detail watching individual blades of grass succumb to Jack Frost’s icy touch and the veins freezing in fallen leaves. Beginning just a shade before five o’clock with ‘Ground Frost Breeding’ and ending a minute after nine with ‘Melt’, the Italian trio of Matteo Uggeri, Luca Mauri and Francesco Giannico take us on a journey through the world beneath our feet.

Human interference is fleeting, coming in the form of distant voices during ’6:18am Icy Leaves’. One imagines billows of steam emerging from behind scarves and the low sun catching ice and eyes. But aside from what sounds like cars passing slowly on treacherous roads during ’7:27am Morning Frost’, the music is very much made of nature and its daily winter cycle. The sound of water running at 8:23am provides a definite feeling of life resuming, having undergone and survived a deep freeze. High-pitched piano tinkles sound like icicles melting and they’re undercut by a warm, life-giving tone to herald the emergence of birds and cool sunshine. ’9:01am’ is the sound of feet playing gaily on slippery paths, loose snow being gathered as snowballs and a final, soaring guitar passage to accompany the blooming of flowers and early Springtime. If there is an overarching theme to Pagetos it is one of nature’s persistence.

The titles on Pagetos make everything as explicit as it needs to be but whereas a little more delicacy may not have gone amiss in naming these brief pieces of bright winter music, a defter set of hands could not have been possible in its creation. Uggeri, Mauri and Giannico have once again proved they are European masters of suggestion, compassion and restraint.

Luminance Ratio/ Steve Roden split 7" is OuT noW!

LUMINANCE RATIO-STEVE RODEN (EP 7″ SPLIT- ltd ed. 200 copies blue vinyl – 33rpm)

Fratto9 under the sky and Kinky gabber are proud to present the first volume of the “seven inch series”, a series of limited and coloured 7″, in which the band luminance ratio collaborates with different artists and musicians from the electro-acoustic and ambient scene all over the world.

This first chapter features a track by the American musician, artist and performer Steve Roden.

Luminance ratio presents the new line-up which involves the experimental guitarist Luca Mauri (guitars and effects) and the noiser Luca Sigurtà (tapes, electronic junk, contact mics), besides the original member Gianmaria Aprile (guitar, sitar, guqin, kaosspad) and Andrea “ICS” Ferraris (laptop, bass, electronics).

Following the recent live activity (“Nofest” in Turin, “Musiche Possibili” in Ivrea, “Signal Festival” in Cagliari and support for Jackie O´ Motherfucker, amongst others), the band presents the track “Reoccuring Dreams”, which walks the thin line between electro-acoustic avant-garde and dreamy psychedelia.

Steve Roden, by his side, presents the song “Marvelous Is Flairs”: arch drones, vocal loops and field recordings driven by a melancholic pulsation.
