4 luglio 2013
Castiglione d’Adda

Quando decisi di andare a trovare Billy Torello nella sua casa sull’Adda venni a conoscenza della sua terribile malattia.
A causa di un violento ruzzolone su alcuni gradini infami dell’inverno 2011 egli svenne e si svegliò dopo alcuni giorni.
I medici non riscontrarono niente di particolarmente preoccupante ma dopo alcuni mesi Billy incominciò a dimenticare.
Fu l’amico J.F. Aloysius che decise di portarlo da un mago arruffato che viveva sull’altra sponda del fiume.
Egli diagnosticò una strana malattia con un nome impronunciabile.
La “maledetta” avrebbe privato Billy di 7 ricordi al giorno.
Invano si cercò una soluzione allo strano caso del malcapitato e furono inutili medicine, psicoanalisi o esorcismi.

Era un giorno di primavera e mi accolse con la stessa gentilezza e distacco con la quale si accolgono i venditori di Cristo.
Mi offrì del caffè e gli chiesi della sua musica.
Mi rispose che stava lavorando ad un nuovo disco, il suo ultimo.
Poi la conversazione si fece albero e diventammo amici.
Ormai amanti egli mi confidò: “Domani potresti già essere “niente” nella mia testa! Non vi è nessuna selezione logica, la “maledetta” è viva e agisce come gli pare!”
Io sorrisi.
Poi continuò: “Ecco perché ho deciso di imprigionare alcune pagine della mia vita nel mio prossimo disco, perché quando io stesso sarò “niente” avrò forse questa piccola fune con la quale risalire e se non dovessi farcela di me sarà rimasto qualcosa.”
Io sorrisi e pensai alla cimice capovolta.

Poi spiegò:
“L’uomo costruisce, lavora, produce (Sulla Costruzione del Ponte sull’Adda);
ama e si meraviglia (Notturno);
è legato ai suoi ricordi e a quel suo respiro istintivo che giorno per giorno si trascina inevitabilmente all’ultimo (Quanto può Mancare una Catena);
e costruisce il suo futuro su un passato che scalpita vivo nel profondo (Il Passato ha gli Zoccoli);
il suo cammino è una corsa morbida a mente vuota (La Natura del Ciclismo);
e prima che se ne accorga il bambino che era, è già vecchio (Il Figlio Calvo);
riscoprirà la sua anima saltuariamente, davanti ad uno specchio, nei frangenti più inutili della sua vita (Io non uso la schiuma);
ma io presto avrò la possibilità di vivere un eterno presente, senza passato ne futuro. E vivrò su quello strato invisibile sul quale ogni cosa, anche la più piccola, ha il peso dell’anima (Le pulci pesano sul cuore come elefanti).”

Ci salutammo ed era già tramonto.
Mentre scarpinavo verso la mia automobile mi voltai verso il fiume.
Non era il Mississippi, ma infondo era la stessa cosa.

Sam Soya

Billy Torello| “Ultime Notizie dalla Tartaruga - Chitarra vol.2” SR063

Type: CDr / mp3
Location: Italy

Track: 6
Genre: via Emilia's Blues, fingerpicking, Americana

Le “Ultime Notizie dalla Tartaruga” si propone con velleità come orecchio metafisico, percepente e catalogatore di quel genere chitarristico nato in America a cavallo dei sixties. Parafrasando il capolavoro faheyano “The Voice of the Turtle”, nel quale il silenzio della natura si propone come archetipo e respiro primigenio di un’intera nazione, l’ultimo lavoro del Torello si offre come ponte culturale dall’America mitopoetica all’Italia che ne sogna i bruscoli, dalla U.S. route alla Via Emilia, dalle praterie nordamericane alla pianura lodigiana.
Ne nascono così ritagli musicali grotteschi e paradigmatici di una cultura popolare sognante sospesa fra imitazione ed auto-definizione.
“Mai senza i Guanti” è quindi un invito al “sesso sicuro”, “Quando il Fagiano è in Fiore” la narrazione musicale di un genocidio di caccia, “Tobia” evoca una fiaba biblica, “Baldo’s Blues” è un bracciante il cui mondo si consuma in pochi ettari, “Maddalena è un Pungitopo” è una giovane puttanella di contrada, “America vs Ivan Drago” rappresenta il sogno americano marchiato al cinematografo e percepito come esempio.
I personaggi delineati nelle “Ultime notizie dalla tartaruga” vivono così della luce fasulla di quelle stelle ormai spente a miliardi di chilometri da noi.

As I go about, my body a vessel of journey, I seek the Kingdom of a God who will come, as the snow covers the earth, tiny bits of life are born, coming back to to a soil to them forsaken, taken away. We leave them their original land, bound to take it back. "It is also possible that part of our test of faith is our hating this world, even our flesh body, to the extent to be willing to leave it without any proof of the Next Level's existence". The Comet came, and we're still here, trembling on a ship, sinking to the inner depths of the selves, while we endlessly argue about the Next Level to take us away. We sink, and we await for something to replenish our Here, uncaring of the tragedy bringing us back to the bottom of the oceans. "They pushed him away and went back to grumbling about wages, and about blankets for women, and about the right to suck cocks, and about how the dog was treated. The ship kept sailing north, and after a while it was crushed between two icebergs and everyone drowned." Everyone drowned, and the few who noticed were taken aback by the Here.
This was made before Andreas Breivik, this was made while we sailed north and hit an iceberg and drowned. This was made in front of Heaven's gate, in front of which lay the selfless bodies of souls who boarded on a craft, taking them back to their Father. They left and we remain here. Their ship the same we're on, only they've already gone, and we are still here, marching forward until the next iceberg will take us down. This is the best world possible, it's the only one. I brag about things, I brag about those who found the truth before us, and left with it forever. Glad to be together. Glad to be gone.
They were so stupid, I would say. How could they have believed? I would ask. YouTube is the next Bible. All the Words are there. All the inscriptions bearing images and sounds. A stream of consciousness no more, but a stream of videos, one after the other, one Truth after the other, equally right to exist, and equally right to be seen. I talk too much, and have so little, if any, to say. I spend nights to frenzy between testimonies of Cults that have faded, and pornography. I will see Satan one day, there, in the nights of frenzy when everything is equally right and every Truth is equally correct. As I drown in a ship of fools, me no different than the rest of the crew.

Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere

Thermosphere
Ionosphere
Exosphere

Being the last three a more rare mixture with more dominant light gasses.

The tracks of this concept album are ordered like these atmosphere strata and suggest a progressive ascension.
An always less intricate tangle of sounds highlights the progression of gases mixture within the distance from the surface, following these criteria atmosphere strata are divided into two bigger groups:

1. Omosphere includes the strata with a higher density of gases and phenomena, constantly blending; the first three tracks in fact have many different cuts tied together and an unusual dissonant harmony as a result of the clash of many elements playing at the same time. Rhythm is predominant, as a symbol of proximity to the earth, reminding of tribal roots.
2. Heterosphere includes the more diffuse strata, with a lower density of gases and reactions. The last three tracks are then more airy and floating, with a bigger use of audio effect suggesting dilatation and a more defined sense of harmony as an elevation towards the space.

2Kutup | “Composure Beyond Fences” SR029

Genre: natural ambient, drone
Section: yellow

What Pinar is trying to do with 2Kutup is reflect her soul to the sounds she is making. Peaceful at times and sometimes joyful, thoughtful or even sad. She thinks the world will be a better place if we share our emotions with each other. There is no need to hide our feelings and we will find peace if we love one another. She thinks we, humans are a little bit of everything whirled up into one.
Shortly, acting logical but making music with her feelings, she hopes one day our planet will be a peaceful place without wars.

"Salomè Lego Playset - Susanna Laterza : Live @ Lhub"
In 2008 Salomè Lego Playset fully reformed after Nicola's 1 year abscence. Actually, Salomè never stopped playing, since Derek Dick Decio, Lando and Elia were most active during that year. Anyway, just a few days later his comeback, Salomè and SL joined in a long improvisation which took place at Lhubrificio, a small venue in Bologna whose life spanned just a summer.
We were glad to play together after such a long time, and I think the result honestly shows it.

Stufa | "Ming I” SR004

Type: CDr (SOLD-OUT), mp3
Location: Italy
Date: march 2010
Duration: 00:56:06
Track: 64
Genre: noise/punk/rock/metal/grotesque/dance/spoken singing /ambient/soundtrack/funk/experimental
Section: yellow




"MING I - The darkening of light"
Stufa started over from scratch with this exagram of the I Ching.
The nonsense chaos of the primordial Stufa is now known and and put on a consequential level compared to the first incomprehensible one.
The casual gesture becomes a divining means. Improvisation an oracle which talks about itself. The tracks are united by the composition technique which ranges from instant improvising to mega compressed composition (with time limits of a few hours from the initial idea to the final product).
The disc includes 64 tracks, one for each exagram (evidently arranged in a casual order) presenting various extremes regarding musical genre and taste.
The sound images impressed in these 64 miniatures reach, as already mentioned, many genres (noise/punk/rock/metal/grotesque/dance/spoken song/ambient/soundtrack/funk/experimental etc.) and involve a wide ring of musicians of the SLP circle.
