Search - Gianluca Becuzzi & Fabio Orsi, Text of Light :: Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines

"This is Alan Lomax reimagined by Spaceways Incorporated: folk songs hoarded as talismans from distant worlds--distant, that is, in time rather than space." -- The Wire Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines is the brand new album from Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi--a strange duo, considering the differences in their artistic backgrounds. Fabio Orsi is a young talent. After his first album, Osci (SmallVoices 2005, produced by Gianluca Becuzzi), he received a lot of positive feedback worldwide. This was confirmed by his second official release, For Alan Lomax (A Silent Place 2006), a split with cosmic Italian duo My Cat Is An Alien. Gianluca Becuzzi is a very well known member of the Italian experimental scene since the '80s, under many different aliases. Recently known as Kinetix, Becuzzi's latest release is the well-appreciated Memory Makes Noise(SmallVoices 2006) a great electro-acoustic pearl. The unexpected encounter between the different forces, experiences, and visions of these two artists melts perfectly on this album. Drones and rumors, pouring between distant voices and centenary blues songs from the Alan Lomax archive, tow off shreds of ballads, guitars, and old keyboards floating on the vibrant surface of a fairy river. Rapture and sweet loss are the main sensations. This could be listed as avant folk, or experimental blues, or ambient roots, or contemporary aesthetics and aching nostalgia--or we can just say: listen to it!
