Title:
August
Label:
12K
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
12K 044CD
"12k presents the latest solo work from Italian composer Giuseppe Ielasi.
August
is the 4th full-length CD from Ielasi following his critically-acclaimed debut,
Plans
(Sedimental, 2003) and the stunning
Gesine
and
Untitled
(Häpna, 2005, 2006).
August
takes a more linear approach to Ielasi's composing with sounds stretched like layers of gauze forming a thick, soft blanket. Utilizing piano, Hammond organ, guitars, dobro, synthesizers and shortwave radio, Ielasi creates deep, warm drones and suspended, scratchy melodies with a hint of despair and melancholy that make this a very introspective album. His trademark guitar and live approach to instrumentation are in the forefront, yet set behind an expertly processed veil of subtle electronics. The textures are unabashedly acoustic but buried and moody enough as to question their origin.
August
is a haunting, but beautiful album that falls neatly between the starkness of
Gesine
and the scattering rhythmic complexity of
Untitled
. Like music for a farewell, an ending of ends,
August
is moody, static, slow and emotional."

Catalog #:
HAPNA 021CD
"New solo work from this Italian experimental guitarist and electronic musician. Known from his work with Dean Roberts and in more improvised contexts. These six pieces are all made up of guitar in different forms, sometimes electronically treated, but in a very organic manner. Drones, guitar techniques derived as much from folk as the experimental music field, and a calm, haunting atmosphere make up the basis for this beautiful album."

Catalog #:
HAPNA 028CD
Giuseppe Ielasi is an Italian experimental guitarist and electronic musician, and this is his second release for the Häpna label. Known from his improvisatory work with
Dean Roberts
, and his highly inventive guitar explorations in the vein of
Oren Ambarchi
and
Loren Conors
, Ielasi also founded the well-respected Fringes label. The new untitled album by Giuseppe Ielasi lives in a land of light and shade. The mist lies thick but close to the ground, and it's glowing and sparking. Reflections shoot wildly in encrypted tongues. The log-cutters are working with their timber. This is Ielasi's most complex work to date, both in regard to instrumentation and compositional form. A well-prepared decoction of dark cinema, wanderlust and experimental sound manipulating techniques.

SED 035CD
"A year and a half in the making, this remarkably dense and subtly musical effort marks a rupture/diversion in Ielasi's creative output. The intersection of electro-acoustic sonographies infused with fragments of melancholic melodies creates a near dizzying disorientation. In 1998 Iealasi founded the well-respected Fringes label, in order to document his own work as well as that of other artists. In addition to his work on Fringes, he has recorded for such labels as Leo and Sonoris, Erstwhile and Absurd. He has performed live with Taku Sugimoto, Jerome Noetinger, Dean Roberts, Thomas Lehn, Michel Doneda and Brandon LaBelle, Domenico Sciajno among many others."
