Wow, even thought I love Creative Sources and even if I think despite its hyper-productivity is still one those labels that deserves a particular consideration for the great mount of music (and musicians) they’ve been putting together. On the other hand the considerable risk is that of an homologated view of the electro-acoustic scenario, but with releases like this one the whole perspective changes considerably. Obviously you have some of the distinctive sound solutions of the label, but Giallorenzo and Mejer sometimes throw in some contemporary classic interventions that make it special. Sometimes I’ve had the impression I was listening to some compositions by Centazzo, Berio or Feldman hybridized with some electro-acoustic ideas. Another thing I can’t but appreciate is that this duo is not afraid of playing melodic though in a minimalist mood, clearly they’ve their personal conception of melody but they manage to build some really suggestive atmospheres. In the third excerpt of Arousal City, when they keep playing a simple melody in this minimal-serial way, you can also perceive some reminiscences of Terry Riley (sometimes it really reminded me so much of "in C") most basic works. This release sounds minimal but really intense and above all it grows during the listening. I’m tented to talk about this work in terms of "strength through simplicity", but I feel I’ve to underline the fact if you love contemporary music with melody and with heart, you should definitely try this out.
