Patrizio Fariselli

Antropofagia

Label: Cramps Records

Format: CD

Genre: Experimental

Out of stock

An outstanding recording, and an unjustly neglected contribution to prepared piano performance by Area member Patrizio Fariselli issued on Cramps in 1977 (in the legendary "DIVerso" series), a record with energy that's somewhere between John Cage and Cecil Taylor! At times, Patrizio Fariselli plays with a great sensitivity to silence – letting it emerge with as much force as his well-placed work on the keys of the piano. But at other times, he comes off with a full, frenzied sound that's really dynamic and almost explosive – so much so that we're left wondering about the state of the piano after he's walked away! There's a bit of vocalization on the record, and titles include "In Side Out Side", "Lenny Tristano", "Anthropafagia", and "Scorie".
