Comment for "Daina" from "Ab imo Pectore" Svart1 (2008) September 2008.
"Daina" is poetic and often melancholic, sometimes compared to the blues for that reason.
"Daina" are often played with a slow, free rhythm melody against a fast accompaniment pattern in fixed tempo, giving an overall feeling of rhythmic tension.
Rewiev "Frangar non Flectar" Svart1(2008) from Enrico Fiore (throop,pa. u.s.a.) September 2008.
A pleasantly disturbing atmosphere,
some would consider this to be difficult music and that may be true since it
does require your full attention, this soundscape is one of organic dark ambience with otherworldly and unconfined sounds, substances and voice flowing moving about freely, pleasantly disturbing atmospheres, these are the sounds of a dystopian world, a painting of the human condition, consider it well.
"Silentium aureum est" Rewiev from earlab Karol, 31.8.2008
This album has a solid concept behind it, explained by the title; "Silentium aureum est" is a Latin term to indicate "a mental structure in which all layers are inclined in the same direction".
These tracks could be interpreted as these different layers which match up in the monocline fold...composed with different simple elements, at last, are a totality of abstract substance.
Music floats as a "unicum" and simply shifts, track after track, into various basic components: dark melody, echo-deep silences, found sounds and pure sine waves.
Anonymus web comment for "Frangar, non Flectar" 13.06.2008.
Melanchionic and sad atmospheres,
presents well your ability to isolate and focus
upon chosen elements in a natural atmosphere then create something almost otherworldly.
Is very much this-worldly at the same time
a hyperfocused awareness of a moment in time, a feeling atmosphere.
A little gift for Artaud.
Comments for 21.03.2008
The minimal, mimetic, unsual noises of the nature, and the animal world digitally used are the last release of Svart1 (Raimondo Gaviano).
Unmistakable sounds, least atmospheres, sonorous landscapes that pass among thousand colors.
The border of the pleasures of small beings that gained "on live" from Svart1 strange meetings become between thousand suspects and a royal demand of comparison.
'DavVisibiliaaAdInvisibilia' from Startling Moniker - (U.S.A.) 30.05.2007
Initially starts as more of an idm-style recording, albeit with lovely Eno influences.
A little less than halfway through, a number of pleasantly unexpected sounds are utilized to fine effect-- wolves, foreign languages, footsteps, etc..
All in all, a solid work with crisp production throughout, and enough "reach" that I would assume the next work continues and improves upon these ideas.
Critique 'DavVisibiliaaAdInvisibilia' Lisa Cervi -videoartist- (Milan) 14.07.2007
Raimondo Gaviano (SVART1) conducts us in an invisible world that slowly, disclosing yourself, it appears to our eyes.
Sharp sounds that seek peace as a mute cry.
Melancholy silences in which to look for if same.
Noises in foundation to remember the world in which we live, the reality that prevents at times that the dream takes life…
Shades in which to him.
Lights in which to find a brief breath
The world of Svart1, screeches with all of this that we recognize, it doesn't reenter in categories but only in what you can be defined: lived personal.
Its music filters the world and the surrounding space, it races in the time…
Acute sounds that burn as it climbs,
sweets known you whisper that they speak as waves of the sea…

____________________May 2008
Finished
new sounds for new release Frangar, non Flectar; dedicated to my
favourite writer, Antonin Artaud.
"Imagination
to Artaud, is reality; dreams, thoughts and delusions are no less real
than the "outside" world. Reality appears to be a consensus,
the same consensus the audience accepts when they enter a theatre to see
a play and, for a time, pretend that what they are seeing is real.
His later work presents his rejection of the idea of the spirit as separate
from the body. His poems glorify flesh and excretion, but sex was always
a horror for him. Incest, cannibalism and deicide were instead normal
urges, proven by the activities of tribal cultures untainted by civilized
Western man. Civilization was so pernicious that Europe was pulling once
proud tribal nations like Mexico down with it into decadence and death,
poisoning the innocence of the flesh with the evil of a God separate from
it. The inevitable end result would be self-destruction and mental slavery.
These were two evils Artaud opposed in his own life at great pain and
imprisonment, as they could only be opposed personally and not on behalf
of a collective or movement. He thus rejected politics and Marxism wholeheartedly,
a stance which led to his expulsion by the Surrealists who had begun to
embrace it.
Artaud saw suffering as essential to existence, and thus rejected all
utopias as inevitable dystopia." (From Wikipedia).
Release
downloable for free from June 2008 from Black
Montanas or with CD package.
Live electronic set for "Teatro Danza Jam" live improvisation reserved to dancers, theater and performer.
"Teatro Danza Jam" like a idea is to let artists that originate from schools and different experiences to meet: will be who comes from the world of the classical dance and who does contemporary or jazz or modern or "capoeira" or theater or street art. Then a meeting of souls and bodies and different styles, what they have in common the passion for the bodily expression.

Live electronic set for "Spezzature" . Centro comunale

it is born from the intent to want to unite inside a show different
artistic expressions despite every has distinguished expressive ability:
Theater of puppets, Music and painting.
The theater of the puppets through the representation of the "plastic
Dances" of Depero, with the intent to replace with them scenographies
and actors; the pure animation of the puppets interacts with a musician
that recreates with the pure sound abstract effects, feelings and states
of mind and contemporarily a painter that the creation of plastic-pictorial
equivalences crosses creates states of mind with the effectiveness to
transmit the emotions that the work can provoke; Theater, music and
painting therefore, they melt him to reach the completeness of the representation,
through which is wanted to reach the transfer of the spectator in the
center of the stage picture, abolishing the visual perspective, from
the dynamism stage product and to make to be born an emotion.
