Gran Trotto [LP]

Ezio Piermattei - Gran Trotto [LP]

Edition of 100 copies. Gran Trotto (literally translating to grand trot) is a travel diary, in sound, recorded in a diverse range of geographies, meticulously listed in the albums credits: Tallinn, Scanno, Helsinki, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Vilnius, Rosello, Brighton, Campo Imperatore, Jūrmala, Barreiro, Ortona, Budapest, Civitella Alfedena. Constructed from tapes and field recordings, with interventions made by a handful of musical instruments -- piano, organ, bells, objects -- as well as intentional contributions and unintentional appearances. These sounds are what they are and from where they are from. The result is deeply moving, threading the sounds of various environments with dedicated tones and textures, and a great deal of captured speech. Previously released on CDr by Chocolate Monk. Remastered for vinyl by Giuseppe Ielasi. A1. Untitled (8:02) A2. Untitled (8:27) A3. Untitled (4:44) B1. Untitled (5:33) B2. Untitled (6:52) B3. Untitled (2:16) B4. Untitled (2:24)
