HERE FOR THE WHOLE DIGITAL ALBUM
demetrio-cecchitelli.bandcamp.com/album/imagery-archive
Imagery archive is an on-going research based on the spontaneousness and intuition of simple gestures compared to a deep sonic memory. the work has been presented in different contexts of the European music research environment within different typologies (radio-art work, sound performance, A\V live, record).
Aside of numerous worldwide ambient and electroacoustic releases, the research on musical gesture and sonic memory that “Imagery Archive“ has shown within many European environments from Demetrio Cecchitelli, stands as a solitary approach and attitude to the given meteor of an open structure improvisational system compared to other medias (like for example video, discography, installation, live performance, radio-work).
Now on-going, but primarily established in/out 2014 while the first experimentation in the field of active listening and sound art / neo-mode-play practices brought life and shape into the musician awareness. And, here comes the album, after years spent in focusing the perfect ruin of an instrumental non-song, but instead a moving, lively idea.
Differently, this one is fully accomplished by drums - played by old fellow Filippo Righetti (Vulva De Leyva / Circa Diana crew @circa.diana ), as the more entering into the record the more is the presence of a feeling around themes from slow-core, post-rock and Americana guitar styles, not descending elements of spiritual and contemporary, folk intuitions.
