Droga [Monotype 2015]

by A. Zalaski+Aspec(t)

about

[...] Aspec(t), Napoli's duo of SEC_ (reel-to-reel tape recorder, no-input mixing boards and samples) and Mario Gabola (self-built photosensitive system, no-input mixing board) who in April 2013 teamed up with Andrzej Zalaski on drums and voice to record what became 'Droga'. It has three more pieces than Hurtado/Z'EV, but it lasts half the length. I am not sure if I heard Zalaski's work before, but I sure know Aspec(t) and their noisy approach to improvisation. With pieces ranging from mere 18 seconds to one that lasts seven (which is a rarity, one to two minutes is more likely on this album), they hold on to the punk aesthetics in the field of improvisation. Everything bursts here with noisy electrical currents, beeping and scratching, feedback explosions and all along Zalaski is banging the hell out of his drum kit. This is some very tiring music, and I mean this in a most respectful way. This is a 38 minute concentrated burst of energy, very vibrant, very punk. It seems that drum sounds produced by Zalaski are picked up by whatever means Aspec(t) have, adding to the real-time cut-up style they have. It’s all very made and breaks music. Like said: one remains behind very tired, but also utterly delighted. The best of noise, improvisation and punk, combined into one blast.

Aspec(t) Naples, Italy

Cut'n noise, tape music, improv electroacoustic band, from 2008.

"...ai nostri giorni il mattatoio è come un battello che porta il colera. Vittima la brava gente che sopporta solo la propria bruttura, con un malsano bisogno di pulizia, di piccineria biliosa e di noia: in eslio per corretezza in un mondo amorfo, senza più niente d'orribile, subendo l'ossesione indelebile dell'ignominia..."(G.B.) ... more
