Antologica (1976-1999)
**2020 stock, tip!** "Ruggero Tajè is one of the electronic Italian pioneers of the '70s. He started as a jazz drummer playing with guitarist Pino Distaso. Then he was one of the pupils of Italian electronic composer Angelo Paccagnini (protagonist of Italian contemporary electronic music with the more known Berio and Maderna) during the same period of Riccardo Sinigaglia and Gaetano Liguori. After his studies he took the guitar as main instrument. He didn’t release his music till nowadays, apar…
Il Y A Les Ombres
Laurent Pernice delivers an album of light and shades. “Il y a les ombres” is a sonorous trip to the limits of perception, a place where voices murmur fragmented truths and where instruments, not used in a traditional way, dig the layers of unexplored territories. This new work (of the old member of Nox and current member of Palo Alto) summons the voices of Alan Dalmasio (Palo Alto) Judith Juillerat, Black Sifichi, Heloise Brezillon and Laura Garrato (Magma). This is not only a play of vocal con…
Cani Lenti
Tip!! Italian duo Rosso Polare 2nd album, originally issued by Ototoku, following the wonderful 'Lettere Animali' album, which was one of Oto highlights of 2020. Cani Lenti is a collection of duels, some may say. As the two minds of Cesare Lopopolo and Annna Vezzosi converge, a dichotomy of harmonious and contrasting sounds ebb, swirl and clatter in and amongst themselves. Using techniques from call and response improvisation, tape manipulation, experimental music and free-form folk, their appro…
The Persistence Of Memory (Early Tapes 1990-1993)
Palo Alto is a French group formed in Paris, France in 1989 by Jacques Barbéri, Denis Frajerman, Philippe Masson and Philippe Perreaudin. In their early interviews the group insisted on their musical filiation with Tuxedomoon, and on drawing their inspiration from Made to Measure, a Crammed Discs label. They would later make explicit their interest in bands such as Art Zoyd, The Legendary Pink Dots, Coil, The Residents, Can or Cabaret Voltaire. Science fiction in all its forms is a leitmotiv in …
Ottomani
Ottomani is a project conceived by ADN and four of their friend musicians. Riccardo Sinigaglia, who had his debut album "Riflessi" on ADN. Ruggero Tajè, who made his first solo CD "Antologica 1976-1999) on ADN. Silvio Linardi & Matteo Uggeri who also had many releases on ADN.

After that the procedded track was returned to creator who was in ch…

Ocarina Solo
Stefano Portello is an artist who works with music and ceramics. For years, Stefano has been shaping ceramics to give shape to small ocarinas that he builds and plays himself. Each ocarina is born as a unique piece, becoming a perfectly functioning musical instrument. Its shapes are essential and inspired by nature. The melodies he plays are simple, repetitive, almost hypnotic. They do not seek virtuosity, but evoke a sense of calm and a return to the essential. Stefano Portello's work is an inv…
Arbeit Macht Frei
2014 release ** "Appearing as it did in 1973, Area's debut album must have sounded to the average Italian pop critics like the end of the world. Issued on the Cramps label, the album highlighted Area's early sound, which featured overt folk melodies, Canterbury Scene prog rock, acid psychedelia, and vanguard jazz all filtered through a particularly Italian sensibility. Those who came to love PFM later will not be able to handle the beautiful -- yet very disciplined -- weirdness of Area, at least…

Marion Brown In Sommerhausen
Alto saxophonist Marion Brown was an initially underrated hero of the jazz avant-garde. It was only after he moved from Atlanta to New York and joined John Coltrane that audiences and critics took notice. Dedicated to discovering the far-reaching possibilities of improvisational expression, Brown possessed a truly lyrical voice. In the early seventies, he played with Anthony Braxton, Andrew Cyrille, Bennie Maupin, Jeanne Lee, and Chick Corea, among others. On this recording he was accompanied by…
