Newtone 2060

ultralimited lavishly packaged LP (100 handnumbered copies only!),  this ground-breaking electro-acoustic trio made my day. The album is largely improvised, with extracts of Charles Bukowski’s poetic works overlapping on the interweavings and multiple stratified references in the trio’s music. It features a faceted palette of acoustic, analogue and digital colours: drums, metallic objects, ethnical instruments, samples, sequences, filtered voice, pedal effects, vinyls, digital electronics. The music is dense, though ready to be deconstructed, constantly seeking a visionary musical script. The trio consists of Marco Albert an electronic musician and is among the founders of Otolab audiovisual collective laboratory. Cristiano Calcagnile, a prominent drummer who is involved in several projects, he works and has played with A. Braxton,  M. Feldman, T. Honsingen, Rova Saxophone Quartet, Zu, D. Suzuki, B. Morris and more. Salvatore Sammartino is a carpenter and storyteller, barman and artist (!)
