Anything that can be said about this double CD release can
also be said about the roar of a rushing stream or the sound
of snow falling on a clear night. These two sound artisans
have crafted so perfect an auditory environment that it is
completely devoid of artifice or noticeable flaw. It is a
field of glass on top of a quiet lake.
To some, this might sound dull. To others, it might strike you
as meditation music for your yoga class. To all of you, all I
can suggest is listening to this journey into sound and be
prepared to come out the other side changed by what you've
experienced.
Fresh from his spectacular 3-inch cd-r on Foxglove and another
release for A Silent Place, Naples' Fabio Orsi partners here
with sound artisan Gianluca Becuzzi. Orsi is another young and
unexpected talent coming through the new Italian pipeline.
"The Stones Know Everything" is the second release of his
sprawling trilogy with Becuzzi (the first CD, "Muddy Speaking
Ghosts Through My Machines," appeared on A Silent Place in
late 2006). Gianluca has been around for the better part of
two decades making music under the monikers Kinetix, Limbo,
and others, but his work with wunderkind Orsi opens a new
chapter in his impressive body of work.
Crafting something this immense puts these two musicians into
the realm of Stars of the Lid, Birchville Cat Motel and
Growing, creating several intense worlds of ambient splendor,
juxtaposing the sounds of everyday life with jetstreams of
microtones and pulses of audible light. And they handle this
enormous task with the care and precision of a watchmaker or a
surgeon, but also with the ears of an obvious fan of sound.
