Marcello Magliocchi
Music For Sounding Sculptures In Twenty-Three Movements [CS; Ultramarine]

I’m not normally one for the science-experiment, lock-me-in-a-room-with-different-noise-instruments-and-I’ll-whip-together-an-album kinda feel. If you truly rip your guts out, however, I can be persuaded to listen. Marcello Magliocchi is a hard-working cat, when it comes right down to it. Far from taking — or should I say, taping — the easy road, Mags scrapes together nearly 60 minutes of improvisations, running the gam(elan)ut from sheet-metal sparklers to… actually, it’s pretty much all metal-related, as Music For Sounding Sculptures in Twenty-Three Movements consists strictly of Maggliocchi manipulating sound sculptures by Andrea Dami (with strings, stones, and gongs mixed in). Again, not my cup of pee-pee, but the man has done his chromework. Truly a savory value, at the paltry price of popping a tape.
