Poste E Telegrafi is the debut solo album from Italian
guitarist Allesandro Stefana. Featuring an allstar cast
including Mark Ribot and Leo Abrahams, Stefana creates a
dreamy world of instrumental perfection and beauty.
Inspired by the work of Ennio Morricone, Ry Cooder, Simon
Jeffes, Steve Reich and Brian Eno, he has created a thoroughly
modern Western world within his compositions and arrangements.
With constant references to traditional music and rural blues
he utilizes electric and acoustic instrumentation with
tremendously compelling results. Acoustic, electric, and pedal
steel guitars along with banjo, kalimba, baliphones and found
objects were all carefully combined with some primitive
electronic instruments such as an arpeggiator, omnichord and
home made vinyl loops. His sound is entirely original yet
clearly rooted in traditions such as Film Music, Blues,
Experimental, Ambient and Avante Garde musics.
Stefana manages his cast of collaborators very well. Most
tracks on Poste E Telegrafi are duets with these musicians
keeping the sound and arrangement simple and pure. Instruments
breathe and pulse with life and excitement in this highly
original album. To call this a promising debut would be to
dismiss the tremendous success delivered by Poste E Telegrafi.
