2007 release** "«Sparks», like the marconimen who occupied radio stations on ships at the beginning of the twentieth century. And this extraordinary album was essentially born on the radio, in the well-deserving Rai studios of Audiobox in 1995. Brooded over for over ten years, contaminated by subsequent experiences, these sound materials now return on CD, in a sedimented and coherent object, where cultured experimentation goes hand in hand with Central European popular music and new ethnic crossovers. The clarinet and samples of Paci Dalò, in an acoustic ambient atmosphere, invite voices and instruments to dance – among which, let us remember, the cello of the late Tom Cora." Roberto Paci Dalò is a musician, visual artist and director (film/theatre) and he has presented his work in major theatres, festivals and museums across Europe, China, Japan, Russia, the Middle East, Israel, Africa, Canada, USA, Mexico, Latin America. He has worked among the others with the Kronos Quartet, Terry Riley, Jon Rose, Tom Cora, Scanner, Fennesz, Robert Lippok, David Moss, Philip Jeck, Fred Frith, Stefano Scodanibbio, Gordon Monahan, Alvin Curran, Mouse on Mars. Roberto is the co-founder of the ensemble Giardini Pensili and The School of Radio. His work for museums and galleries is represented by the Galerie Mario Mazzoli, Berlin.
