Uragano is the June 16, 2023 launch from the Polish “string duo”
Perforto, comprised of Ola Rzepka (percussionist, pianist, and composer)
and Łukasz Marciniak (guitarist and composer). Right here, Rzepka performs on
ready piano/piano inside and Marciniak on electrical guitar, with each
performers primarily actuating their devices via prolonged
methods and varied implements, objects, and/or vibrators.

This is beautiful improvised music, each within the complexity of the sound and
technical and inventive talent of the improvisers. These musicians
exhibit a fantastic depth of information, technical capability, and creativity
with their respective devices and one another’s aesthetic.
That is the type of excessive degree improvisation that concurrently comprises a
sense of compositional intelligence at work; see particularly monitor 3,

Toungues

, for it’s repetition, growth, and total type.

This six-track album is 41’29” in period. Every monitor has a novel
character, considerably outlined by the methods explored of their
creation; be it the glissandi of piano strings and sympathetic vibration of
a small rin on these strings accompanied by the motorized actuation of
guitar strings of monitor 4, Frostrotremoj, or the percussive
drumming on the piano strings with metallic objects mixed with the
microtonal and extra standard rhythmic guitar taking part in of monitor 2,

Blade Runner

.

The sound high quality of the recording is superb, capturing the complete
spectrum of complicated timbres in play. Every monitor leaves the listener wanting
extra of the orchestra-sized sound world that this duo creates. That is
extremely beneficial listening!
