Ever heard about Elio Martusciello?...I think you should, above all if you're into exsperimental music and electronics. This musician plays in the ensemble of Ossatura and recorded for/with: Elliott Sharp, Recommended records, Staalplaat, Splas(h) records, Goethe Insitut, Giancarlo Schiaffini, Metamkine, Chris Cutler, Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M, Christian Calon...just to name a few (yes, a "few"). Anyhow, beside being a versatile musician he's a composer and a researcher and this cd joins together the last two sides of his complex personality. "Aesthetics of the machine", following the words of Martusciello, goes beyond the "point of listening" and sometimes is much closer to Cage "idea of performance" than anyone else. The sounds on which this cd is based often cross the soil of the auditory apparatus: "ultrasounds" (up to 20kHz) and the infrasounds (down to 16Hz) and when these sounds are audible, sometimes it's a total blast (on the back of the record there's a warning, infact cause of the loud-recording of the release and the power of the frequencies the record could damage ears and hi-fi systems...and hell knows he's not joking at all!). Martusciello uses the adjective "concrete-electronic" and explains it, but I can't say if that helps to figure out how it may sounds since it's such a singular audio-experience it's hard to imagine something like that. If power-electronics someday will become academic I'm sure Martusciello will be the headmaster and it's funny since this record is not meant to be power-electronics at all but it's is twice as solid and thrice as hard (even if you try to turn the volume down). This work has much to do with theory and aesthetics (therefore with philosophy), probably it goes beyond what many people means with music but that's the point. There's music borne out of an idea, but there's music that fills you mind with ideas, this release "just" instills big question marks into the poor head of the listener...if you think that's not extraordinary , tell me what then?.
