Comment: the
Italian musician Globobscuro has been around for a while with his
stunning industrial and experimental sounds to provide an alternative
point of view about music and life in general. Emiliano Pietrini's
recent work of a couple of tracks is inspired about semi-mythological
philosopher Pythagoras and his fancy against the number 3.
Additionally, Pythagoras did live in Syracuse, Sicily (recently a
part of Italy). Musically it is highly arousing due to vociferous
guitar noises, elliptic patterns of tape manipulation, hazy
electro-acoustic litters at bottom and ennobling atmospheric hovers
in between. Even if the guitars are the most prominent element within
the whole it is not about rock music at all because the instruments
are not treated in that way. On the other side, it is really
beautiful in a rare sense of this term. Beauty is not a thing on its
own it is a fertile and organic relation between the aforementioned
characteristics even if they are uncanny, provoking and destructive.
I like the industrial musicians because they used to be honest
because of having no urge to provide aesthetical and economic
compromises. Instead of it they have been providing measures to
undermine general models and instructions with ultimate intention to
liberate the energy of sole parts. The outing is a bit in the
discography of Hortus Conclusus. And the cover print is amusing and
deep at the same time.
