Sattwa, by Cartridge Grain

Sattwa

by Cartridge Grain

supported by

danilomelideo There is a very pleasant use of noises. Experimentation is at the service of a very emotional and engaging work. Really well done

Lost Tribe Sound Incredibly well-treated sound worlds. The lightly muffled top end creates an inviting sort of cloud cover that really enhances the creature-like textural low end. Cartridge Grain strikes a perfect balance between improv and structure with 'Sattwa,' feeling purposeful but not overly demanding in it's movement. High praise once again to the KrysaliSound label, who are humbly putting out some amazing music.

about

“Sattwa” is a selection of improvisations.
Our approach contemplates two polarities: analog and digital.
The analog section consists in the amplification, using the pins of two turntables, of different materials, in particular plastic, paper, aluminium, wood. The sounds produced, full of noise, they are exploited for the creation of essential rhythms. also includes two analog synthesizers.
The digital section contemplates the use of concrete samples elaborated through algorithms of granular synthesis.
Two material universes, therefore, two different sound spaces that use the same concrete elements and that face paths that seem antithetical and irreconcilable.

It is therefore not a question of two universes in conflict with each other that seek to emerge but of a single living landscape, changeable and magmatic.

BIO:
Cartridge grain is a project of sound research, created from Emanuele Specchia and Roberto Ficosecco, dedicated to the concrete matter in all its forms.
Roberto Ficosecco – Turntables for wood, paper, aluminium, plastic and analog synthesizer.
Emanuele Specchia – Processing and granular synthesis for concrete sample and digital synthesizer.

Let's put it this way- this is simply one of our favourite works ever!...A collection of variations on a theme that drift by, perfuming the air, or that stop a moment to whisper you a story. Evocative in its sparse beauty, We are sure this will been the permanent playlist always, right alongside Arvo Part's "Alina" and offthesky's "Silent went the Sea" ....ss/tm/am editions vaché
