3/4HadBeenEliminated - A Year of the Aural Gauge Operation
The goal 3/4’s is trying to reach is that of unifying in one moment the three steps of songwriting, recording, and electroacustic post-production. This is done in a brilliant way on their new album, a year of the aural gauge operation, which was recorded in their own studio in Bologna in 2004. It features nine songs composed after live improvisations, all of them quite different in genre, but again 3/4’s aim is to create a psychedelic musical flow, one in which new elements and different styles can be superimposed to enrich and develop the peculiar narrative of the album. 3/4’s generally thinks of it as an opera.
Reviews
“This supergroup among the new wave of Italian experimenters put out one of my favorite records of 2004 and returned in late 2005 with another favorite. Members Valerio Tricoli, Claudio Rocchetti, and Stefano Pilia represent some of the most mystical, lyrical music I’ve heard come out of Italy or anywhere in some time. 3/4, their collaborative group, now with percussionist Tony Arrabito, make brilliantly inviting and adaptable music mixing melancholy chamber acoustics, ambient improvised textures, and woven electronic and mechanical effects."
Andrew Culler, Brainwashed
