Hu Vibrational: Timeless

Read "Timeless" reviewed by Geno Thackara


An Adam Rudolph recording is less a collection of musical pieces than of sound paintings. The elements he works with are musical ones--any instrument known to mankind might be used, and often even used to play notes--but traditions of form and melody tend to be tossed out the window from the start. The tones are treated as daubs of paint on a palette, splashed here and there whenever they will add something to whichever imaginary landscape he is evoking at ...

Read "Pandemonium" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Chitarrista e compositore campano da tempo trasferitosi a New York, Marco Cappelli da qualche anno ha messo in piedi, assieme al percussionista italo-americano Jim Pugliese, una formazione denominata IDR, Italian Doc Remix, composta in larga parte da italiani residenti negli Stati Uniti o da italo-americani, con i quali “gioca" con la tradizione delle sue terre, rinnovandola con strumenti e arrangiamenti contemporanei che attingono ampiamente a stilemi jazzistici senza abbandonare forme espressive tradizionali, ma anche filtrandola attraverso il modo in cui ...

Some things just don't translate.Such is not the case with hipness. What is cool in Milano is happening in Brooklyn. When Italian guitarist Marco Cappelli, the Italian ...

Marco Cappelli: Extreme Guitar Project

Read "Extreme Guitar Project" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk


The talented Italian guitarist Marco Cappelli's love affair with New York City began with a trip in 2002, which led to him commissioning a series of compositions for solo guitar. That set of pieces--the “Extreme Guitar Project --is a remarkable collection, allowing at once a variety of vantages of the composers, the interpreter and the guitar. The pieces were written by guitarists and non-guitarists (not all New Yorkers), and all take advantage of his unusual, customized instrument, a classical guitar ...
