Luca Formentini seems to be investigating sound for the sheer
satisfaction of discovery. Described by the author as "a life from
the inside", SUBTERRANEANS is Formentini's personal
exploration into tone and how it relates to mood, and the many
new possibilities that surface when one plays a conventional
instrument in an unconventional manner. On this album
Formentini, known as a guitarist, takes his instrument beyond
what it was designed to do. Through innovative performance
techniques as well as electronic effects processing, his music
can approach the uneasiness of the avant-garde, and just as
easily float back to the safety of ambient music's harmonious
static state. There are 16 tracks on this album. Each one,
however brief, is original and complete. Formentini's skill with
timing, harmonic composition and a sophisticated ambient
strategy provides unique yet listenable results. As with peering
into an individual, this album may be difficult to access.
Sometimes strange, always imaginative, Formentini's music is
unexpected; the wonderful result of traditional training yielding to
wanton experimentation.
