Tangatamanu – Landing Talk - Le Zattere Dei Sentimenti 3" (mini) CD

"Another fine 3" on Wallace and it's again visceral music. While musicwise Tangatamanu reminds "new age/ambient" music much more than "isolationism", the use of repetitive patterns has the same discipline of the Claudio Rocchetti's works. Tangatamanu reminds of Morton Feldman, Can, Popol Vuh (above all their works for Herzog's movies), Cornelius Cardew, just to name a few, but there's also a big minimalist feeling haunting the ten tracks of this mcd. Reading the list of the instruments (Prepared piano, guitar effects, bamboo flutes, seashells, percussions, flautos de barro, electronics) you can get the idea the "seventies-sensation" is there and it's true, but thanks to god it's not an useless "kraut-freak-wonnabe". To complete the picture of this cd consider it consists in the music for two installations realized by Studio Azzurro: therefore if you're into contemporary art maybe you know what to expect. Sit down, relax and read your old zen meditation manual this could be the soundtrack." - Andrea Ferraris - Chain Dlk
