Violin Reactions

Armando Sciascia - Violin Reactions

First ever commercial release for this ultra-rare Holy Grail 1974 Library LP. Limited edition 200 gram deluxe replica LP with exclusive scholarly liner notes by Alvin Lucia and unpublished photos. Full dynamic range 2015 remaster direct from the first generation analogue master tapes. Armando Sciascia - by day, notable composer for Italian erotic and exotic cinema - by night, experimentalist and nocturnal avant-gardener. Lovingly crafted in his hand-built Vedette studio, Sciascia's ''lust for experimental research'' has never been mre evident than on these precious, never before commercially released 1974 Library recordings. ''Violin Reactions'' is a violently unique work, studiously constructed out of multi-tracked strings, ominous VCS3 drones and the drum breaks of Tullio De Piscopo. Part futurist broadcast, part Middle-Eastern short-wave trasmission, anchored by De Piscopo's breakbeats and calisthenic percussion - strangely melodic and at times hauntingly otherworldly.
