PETRONELLA, ANGELO - Rimandi E Scoperte

"Long-awaited new album by the enigmatic Italian composer and sound artist Angelo Petronella, in a superb piece of electroacoustic microsound, intertwining scrupulous minimalism, environmental recordings, and an intense glacial drone nebula. Angelo Petronella is a missing link, a unique artist drifting to and fro between classic instrumentations and electronics. He was raised on the drums, the initiator of the legendary InsiemeMusicaDiversa collective ensemble in the mid-'70s, then fell in love with the early synthesizer and computer. He turned his attention to sound installation and field recordings, and the range of sound worlds he has traveled so far, with brilliant but little known results, encompasses classical instrumentations, tape manipulation and state-of-the-art computers." - Die Schachtel .
