Fennesz - Sakamoto: Cendre

Cendre, stampato per la label inglese Touch a breve distanza dal fortunato Sala Santa Cecilia, documenta un secondo lavoro in duo del chitarrista Christian Fennesz e del pianista Ryuichi Sakamoto. Registrato a fasi alterne, tra il 2004 e il 2006, a New York da Sakamoto e a Vienna da Fennesz [l'uno le parti di chitarra su supporto elettronico e poi l'altro, sopra, quelle al piano, e cos�� anche l'inverso], �� stato mixato dai due insieme a New York.

Frutto deliberato di una intensa corrispondenza e di scambi, Cendre riflette in ogni sua parte lo spirito di questo processo ciclico. Le undici tracce sono, infatti, estremamente piane, lineari, amalgamate. In esse, parti destrutturate (pi�� che improvvisate) si mescolano e sovrappongono a parti dove �� lasciato largo spazio all'elettronica, a libert�� strumentali e anche ad una certa inquadratura compositiva.

La sostanza �� un'elettronica soft, di ottima qualit��, anche se un po' ingabbiata in intimismi da corrispondenza.
