23REDANTS and PABLO ORZA – Red Night

Setola Di Maiale

Subdural intercommunication, asphyxiating narrowness, throaty gurgles, resonant enervation, radiophonic practicalness. Three performers placing their music’s quiddity under a coat of knowledgeable hesitancy, leaving things semi-visible to that segment of intuition which constitutes a means to define (vaguely) and memorize (barely). Faraway motions and dysfunctional mechanisms depict a portrait of erudite, if somewhat naive introversion. Rare openings for an intake of clean air; numberless occasions for a complete re-thinking of the act of playing in accordance with a silent intent. Togetherness and isolation coexist admirably in this short, efficient and principled record.
