Orotund sonorities

This is the second time today I see Paolo Angeli. He’s in completely different mode now, hammering out bass notes (on the one) while elegiacally bowing his Sardinian guitar (think an acoustic Sigur Rós). He’s accompanied by Takumi Fukushima on viola and very grungy vocals and Ganesh Anandan on frame drum and whistling. They do some kind of faux folk laced with lazy soundtrack muzak.

Sponde di Passione the project is called (Shores of Passion? that would be a perfect fit, but don’t trust me, I have no Italian). It’s quite the multimedia event, we have slides of catholic rituals, we have a light show, we even have a girl on the flying trapeze.

The music is slight, though. Oh no, now the guy even starts crooning. Orotund is a word that springs to mind … I’m back with the techs, watching a silent screen until the danger is over. As you can see, it ain’t over yet.
