Fiddler on the monastery


Carlos Zíngaro - Solo (1992)

Solo improvisation done right, in the right architectural atmosphere, by the portuguese father figure of that scene. A bit more tongue in cheek, and Zíngaro's record could actually have been called Duo, as you find him very deliberately playing off the architecture (also making me dance about it now) in a fascinating game of acoustic squash that lays the ground for an actual dialogue with his acousmatic self, through which the whole performance can aesthetically grow.
Instant composition and sound design instead of all random screeches? That's refreshing.
