3/4HadBeenEliminated was founded in Bologna, Italy, in
2002. Starting as a trio (guitarist/double bassist Stefano
Pilia, turntablist/sound assembler Claudio Rocchetti,
sound architect Valerio Tricoli), the drummer Tony
Arrabito was added to the line up in 2004.
Their first self titled record (bowindo, 2003) was
released after playing a series of live concerts in which
the group attention was strongly focused on the
performative/theatrical/ecological aspects of the event.
Comprised of a large number of electronic and acoustic
instruments, the album mirrors the disparate musical
influences and aesthetics of the group: live electronics,
electroacoustic composition, field recordings, drones...
In the following two years, after exploring and
experimenting with self invented recording techniques,
3/4's modus operandi focused on live interaction between
electronic and acoustic instruments within a context in
which the studio itself (tape machines, mixers,
effects...) and the actual space in which the interaction
took place (weird microphoning, feedbacks...) were
considered and manipulated as instruments themselves (not
by chance 3/4's are fans of musicians such as This Heat,
P16.D4, Todd Rundgren...). In this process, improvisation
and group playing were the main issues, whereas 3/4's
first release was more based upon electroacoustic
dΘcoupage.
The goal 3/4's is trying to reach is that of unifying in
one moment the three steps of songwriting, recording, and
electroacustic post-production. This is done in a
brilliant way on their new album, A year of the aural
gauge operation, which was recorded in their own studio in
Bologna in 2004. It features nine songs composed after
live improvisations, all of them quite different in genre,
but again 3/4's aim is to create a psychedelic musical
flow, one in which new elements and different styles can
be superimposed to enrich and develop the peculiar
narrative of the album. 3/4's generally thinks of it as an
opera.
