ibaa was initiated by renowned pianist thomas rosenkranz. the original members met for the first time at an ethiopian resaturant to discuss what they would be playing just a few hours later. their performance that night (2003) at the eastman school of music revealed a beautiful and rare chemistry. built almost completely on improvisation, the group experiments with sound from varied disciplines and backgrounds. the result is atmospheric, cinematic and post psychedelic. music to suspend your disbelief.
inward becomes an anthem is also essentially an evolving project with a rotating cast of participators. since the music is primarily improvisational, there are numerous possibilities to explore. please leave a comment, your thoughts...
I remember reallyreally liking you folks when I first stumbled across this music a few years ago. I still do! Would y'all be down for some trading? Perhaps? Maybe?
OUT NOW !!!(NOVEMBER 2008) :::::::::::::::...............::::::::::::::::...........:::::::::::::::.......... '4 Sonatas for Electroacoustic Thoughts' Francesco Giannico and Stefano Spataro A HYSM PRODUCTION :::::::::::::::...............::::::::::::::::...........:::::::::::::::.......... Music by Francesco Giannico and Stefano Spataro HYSM PRODUCTIONS http://www. myspace. com/haveyousaidmidi
4 Sonatas for electroacoustic thoughts is a microcosmos of modified sounds, folk-derived loops, noise nebulas in which it is not easy to see the light. The soundscapes are rough and elusive, but well-balanced, and never excessive. The work (4 tunes for a total length of about 20 minutes) comes from a collaboration between Francesco Giannico(www. myspace. com/markhamn) and Stefano Spataro(www. myspace. com/solquestprojects). In a pragmatic sense, the album is a mix of field recordings of an audio/video installation about Taranto's Ilva (made by Francesco Giannico) and electronic oscillations/acoustic hints (by Stefano Spataro). Nonmaterial sounds, layered over and over, folk memories and Interstellar Space strikes clash with discordant string lines and melodic scraps of an unspecified nature... A calm promenade in the unease of sound.
