***“Spirit songs”—vocal works constructed by chopping up (à la Burroughs, Gysin, Phillips) Pynchon’s novels V and Gravity’s Rainbow recorded live on Radio Lebanon in Beirut—accompanied by electric Vietnamese lap steel (heavily processed through a vintage Kaoss pad and Zoom SampleTrack looper). Chords, melodies and harmonic patterns are unplanned improvisations unique to each performance. The final track is a thundering cover of “Masters At War.”

***The atmospheric field recordings created by this Berlin-based Italian artist penetrate the smallest gaps of the cerebral cortex. The environmental sounds that come from Puglia and the German capital capture the essence of the landscapes that FABIO ORSI loves to observe, allowing the listener to mentally fly over sunny Apulian coastlines and countrysides, up to German lush forests. Endless Autumn comes together naturally with melancholic electronic textures and guitar melodies.

***Recorded live in Berlin, 2010, edited in 2011, the two side-long compositions here hover in the space, seduce, and hypnotize. FABIO ORSI plays synth, guitar and filters, and embraces Central European kosmische musik, turning cold, early darkness into an oneiric remembrance, a daydream. With six photo inserts. Edition of 200.
