Organum - Omega

David Jackman is an artist who occupies a place apart in the experimental music scene: it's difficult to categorize his works or guess his moves.
“Organum” is a solo project that exists since over two decades, transforming itself or adding new implications in the course of time.
In 2006 David conceived a trilogy of compositions related each other by a common shape as well as by a spiritual/sacral attribute representing their guideline.
This trilogy, beginning with “Sanctus” (issued by Robot Records) and continuing with “Amen” (on Die Stadt), reaches the end with “Omega” (on the German label again) made up of three segments, each having a duration of 15 minutes.
The structure of the tracks is quite similar, almost identical: the first starts with a church organ that creates a whirling drone 14 minutes long, whereas the fifteenth is a minute of silence that introduces to the second track. This one resumes the hypnotic atmosphere till the fourteenth minute, then another pause and so on for the third piece.
Differences among the parts are recognizable in intensity and depth of the resonances and undulations, but what rules is a persistent repetition of the scheme until the end. An end that leads to the beginning.

Stefano Pilia - Action Silence Prayers

Guitarist of 3/4HadBeenEliminated, Stefano Pilia is also involved in many collaborative projects as well as intelligent composer of refined solo works like this: a delicate, intimistic album where each piece is softly executed.
Stylized textures, often in a drone vein, created mainly by his favourite instrument that produces a dilated (“Sea”) or more defined sound (“Water”, “Question”, “Window”), always pervaded by a melancholic attitude.
Echoes, reverberations which can be generated by a guitar or gentle touches of piano (the first segment of “Sky”) lead up to the final track (“Land”), a transition into a floating, surrounding ambience, then fading like a vanishing image.
A surprising exercise of style that works which start from a similar approach rarely reveal.

Marc Behrens - Architectural Commentaries 4 & 5

'An Architectural Commentary is a form of 'reviewing' architecture in which functional, symbolic and aesthetic aspects of a building or a bigger architectural structure are analysed.
Inspiration for this cycle of compositions is drawn from architectural criticism, structures, buildings, involuntary cityscapes (‘architecture without architects’) and technological noise within buildings.'
(M. Behrens)

Marc Behrens' artistic activity undoubtedly represents a reference point into the world of soundart, perhaps because of his modus operandi, characterized by a definite identity.
During these years he treated the matter of field recordings according to his perspective: to use this material as base for personal interpretations and elaborations.
Architectural concepts and their involvements often recur in Behrens’ work, due to his great interest for relating spatial/constructive aspects to sound.
"Architectural Commentaries 4&5" follows this conceptual line: three pieces (the first and the last 24 minutes long and a short track between them) where a variety of architectural environments is observed, captured, narrated.
Sound sources collected to “make commentaries” on involved aspects of a sounding architecture or, in other terms, architecture lived through sound.
