Comment: the lineup of Insub Meta Orchestra consists of a formidable amount of artists who used to exploit unusual instruments and "instruments" in addition to the conventional ones. For instance, besides guitars, violin, saxophone and laptop the listener will get aware of the presence of theremin, tone generator, tennis racquet (sic!), and buzuki. On the other side, in rough sense this 6-piece album can be considered a cooperation (or exploration of) between acoustic and electronic sonority which is tightly spiced up with the snippets of concrete sounds and amplified sonic effect-relied washes. This erratic universe results in flourishing psycho-acoustic noises and cagy microtonal contemplations where the inner borders are blurred and could only be fixed contingently. Is it an instance of meta sound then?
