Many people say "La Mutazione" is the darkest piece of music they have ever heard and it´s hard to disagree. Giancarlo Toniutti is born in Udine (Friuli, Italy), March 21st, 1963. Researcher in morphology and anthropology fields (linguistics, acoustics, material cultures etc.) and composer of experimental electroacoustic sound-works. Basically. The whole activity is centered on a basic notion, which is connected to an anthropologic view of the human activity in general, of its knowledge and the tools enabling and structuring such a knowledge. The sound activity is thus linked to a realm of sound we could simplistically define as electroacoustic or equally experimental, although these notions may have a meaning. The sound work, through the diverse natural developmental phases, is focused on some problems and notions both inherent to the nature of sounds and their structuring and articulation in sound forms. A research connected to the acoustics of materials, chosen as sound sources or generators, materials by now almost only of an acoustic kind (natural objects, custom-made objects and natural sound sources recorded on field). The work is thus strictly connected to the acoustic-morphologic nature of the sound sources, and the action is directed to allow and/or induce such sources to generate sound (micro-compositional aspect), in the observance of the inner characters of the materials and their forms. At the same time a research on the notions of form linked to its functions of an anthropologic (and somehow biologic) character, on which a work related to the sound morphologies fits (macro-composition), almost exclusively connected to analogical means of action onto sound (magnetic tape and equalization, for example). Has collaborated with Andrew Chalk and Conrad Schnitzler. This album is constantly moving without ever going anywhere. It's truly remarkable. "The Tree" is built solely on two notes and yet does not get boring or stale throughout it's entire 20 minute lifespan. A really great album. A masterpiece from Italy, on the same level as M.B. and early 80s experimenters. Giancarlo Toniutti, the best! ****** Minimal surface noise in the beginning of side 2. The sleeve would be graded ex if it was not for some spine wear. ****** Please wait to receive my invoice before sending the payment after the auction ends. Attention!
