Steve Piccolo, Luca Gemma & Gak Sato
How does this sound?
“Steve Piccolo has come a long way since co-founding the Lounge Lizards in the glorious NY 1980s. […] Today’s complex noisescape meets with moments of lucid detachment in this sonic diary of mental and physical travels."
Felice Villa, Static
CrowdofOne – Rai Trade 2007
Finally released live recording of the Box Man as performed at the RAI auditorium back in 2005 by CrowdofOne (Steve Piccolo, Gak Sato, Massimo Falascone). Thanks to Pino Saulo and the great Battiti program on Rai Radio 3 for making this possible.
Includes compositions by Steve Piccolo and Gak Sato, and pieces by Massimo Falascone. The overall theatrical side of the concert (recited by Steve) is loosely based on the book The Box Man by Kobo Abe.
What is noise (as opposed to sound, or music)? We asked people to send us 5" sound bites of what they consider noise. The sounds are heard on this CD, first with very little manipulation, just randomly sequenced and adjusted at various volume levels, and then in mixes done by Steve and by Gak Sato. There is also a lovely track, more like 5' than 5", contributed by composer Reinhold Friedl, which we decided not to touch in any way because it sounds great on its own.
