About

This album reflects the instrumental aspect of Alessandro Perinis most recent re-earch, integrating multiple aesthetic references explored over the course of his artistic experience. Within a heterogenous aesthetic, the Italian composer integrates his interests in the techniques of electronic sound manipulation, the creation of electromechanical and electroacoustic instrumental devices, and a reflection upon the sound environment, tending toward the exploration of unusual compositional systems and solutions.

Perini knows how to offer different perspectives and angles on the instruments. At times the instrumental medium (which can already be considered a prosthesis of the human body, conceived precisely to obtain the desired resulting sound) is enriched with further specially constructed prostheses.

This album, recorded by some of todays most distinguished performers of the cutting edge contemporary music scene, will make your head spin if you are into cutting edge contemporary music.
