Maurizio Curadi

Synesthesia of sound and vision, etruscan shadows and Tuscany ambience, Phonorama is Maurizio Curadis first work, matured in years of private research. A work for guitar and echoes made from edited live-in-the studio takes, conceived as LP: two sequences/scenes of 20 mins each. After the flight of Red Kite, there are N.O.D. (a visionary impro based on a new extended technique for lap acoustic guitar, metals and echo) and Cicadas (an episode for 12 strings and fields recordings of cicada choirs), both sections of larger WIPs. Water Well closes the first batch (primitive blues figures iterate on banjolin from early 1900s). The second sequence includes Windmill Blues (12 strings + metal brush) and Variazioni I-VI (a long hemiola impro exploring modal regions, incl. Twig). The Extra acts as a sort of invisibile side 3: an electric live session divided into a brief view (Meridiana), 10 free impro waves for slack strings, springdrum, daxophone and objects, and an impromptu for echoed upright piano.
