More Info Nach langer Zeit was neues vom gerade durch eine VOD-Box geadelten Italiener, der sich zwischen archäologischer Musikforschung, Konzept-Kunst und archaischer Minimal / Drone-Musik bewegt. Das Album mit dem unaussprechlichen Titel (indigene kanadische Sprache) ist ein "Klang-Feld" für eine Ausstellung: GIANCARLO TONIUTTI spielt rund eine Stunde lang auf seiner "Ratter-Harfe", einem selbstgebauten metallischen Instrument, welches tief-dronige Klänge erzeugt wie in einem Tank, aber auch rumpelnde und höherfrequent hölzern klackernde Sounds, wobei alles sehr ruhig & fliessend von sich geht... klingt vielleicht wenig aufregend, aber das ganze hat eine äusserst meditative und archaisch wirkende Klangfärbung. Wie immer bei TONIUTTI wurde Sinn & Zweck & Konzept des ganzen äussert sorgfältig dokumentiert (16-seitiges Booklet). "The composition was realized in 2002 as a sound-field for an art exhibition. After diverse occurrences it is now available on cd for public experience, thanks to Alluvial recordings and the patience of Kevin Wienke. It comes with a 16 pp. booklet containing notes, a text about the history and motivations of the project, and a series of photos specifically realized for this edition. The sound comes from the recording of a single sound source, an instrument temporarily built in 2001, I called rattle-harp, subsequently elaborated in studio. (title is in Nuxalk language)" [Giancarlo Toniutti] "... This is a recording made to accompany an exhibition of Luisa Tomasetig and it uses the Rattle-harp, an instrument, especially built for this occasion and being a 145 x 85 cm drift metal plate and a 1 meter long steel wire, furnished with 6 tintinnabula and accidental bone, wood and additional 10 metre metal wire. One day he made a recording with it and about a year later he 'treats and composes' it, using DAT, reel-to-reel tape recorder, analogue mixer and eq. This hour long work is a trademark piece for Toniutti. The acoustics of the piece, the dragging of metallic sounds, the analogue treatment of the material, the minimal changing of the equalization to make the piece sound different, it all sounds like comfortable Toniutti music. I never figured out why he doesn't want to release more music, as this is certainly great stuff." [FdW / Vital Weekly] www.alluvialrecordings.com
