About the Artist: Luciano Maggiore (Palermo 1980) lives and works in Bologna. Active musician in the field of electroacoustic music, in recent years he has developed a strong interest in the mechanisms of sound diffusion, using speakers and several analogue and digital devices (walkmans, CD players, tape recorders) as principal instruments. His interest is focused on the architectural and psychoacoustic as well as dynamic and directional values of sound with a strong emphasis on fixed sounds. He regularly plays in duo with Francesco Brasini and Enrico Malatesta. He has collaborated with Adam Asnan, Angstarbeiter, Auriga, Riccardo Baruzzi, Tim Blechmann, Mario De Vega, John Duncan, Attila Faravelli, Tomaz Grom, Andrew L. Hooker, Seiji Morimoto, Seijiro Murayama, Phonorama, Nicola Ratti, Jin Sangtae, Matija Schellander, Teatro Valdoca, Xing, Zapruder Filmmakergroup, Zimmerfrei. His works are published by Boring Machines, Senufo editions, Balloon & Needle, 1000füssler and Tulip records. http://lucianomaggiore.blogspot.it "Maggiore's "Onagro" consists of six brief pieces comprised of field recordings, though sounding more like amplifications inside a burning Cd player, all delicate crackles, sometimes with regular iterations as of some mechanical revolutions, but also sounding as though embedded in a wider atmosphere, a haze of just discernible noises in the background. Wonderful stereophony in play here; situating one's ears between speakers is a giddy joy. The sounds vary in timbre--lower knocking ones, hollow ping-pongy ones--but the activity level is similar, active but very natural sounding, as some highly mic'd goings on in a garden, though perhaps an artificial one. Fascinating, capable of being listened to over and over. [Brian Olewnick / Just Outside] www.1000fussler.com/seiten/reviews/info_maggiore_onagro.html
