After two years from "nth"(LINE), z_e_l_l_e
has finally worked out their second release.
[presentation from the artist]
Starting from the experience of musique concrete, the Italian duo z_e_l_l_e has
linked the historical lesson of Pierre Schaeffer, rarefied stylizations of that
same "narrative of memory", with the most recent evolutions in the electronica
and post-digital music fields (glitch, click'n'cuts, microsound and so on).
The duo was founded early 2000 by Nicola Catalano and Maurizio Martusciello and
released its debut CD "nth" on American label Line, a carefully crafted work of
pointillistic abstraction, a sort of synthesis between science and humanism.
The new album "rjct::nw" goes further into a world of impalpable digital zen dimension,
paraphrasing Samuel Beckett: a world of "vibrating contours... balances... breaking
and reforming as we look at them... breathing colours, panting... swarming stillness...
a world without weight, without strength, without shadow". Onkyo music at its
nth degree.
