terrascope reviews wondrous horse

Wondrous Horse's "Cavallo Meraviglioso" album is a rich tapestry of instruments, voice and mad percussion, created in the main by Salvatore Borrelli. The feel is otherworldly, the mood bizarre, but it is Vanessa Rossetto's natural/treated voice that makes this music freakily addictive. Weird cellos duck and dive, deraboukahs and tablas rustle and tap, and over some of this Rossetto's seductive voice floats and swirls (Borrelli sings too, less successfully). The track titles are all in Italian, but each is a variation on the main theme. The range of instruments is vast: the sleeve notes list fifty one, some of them multiples. This, then, is an eclectic mix, but it's impossible not to get sucked into the weird and mischievous sound-world, not least because all the songs have a Heath Robinson-esque 'stuck together with tape and glue' charm. Unexpectedly good, this one, dog, cat and duck samples and all...

Rossetto, Vanessa "Whoreson in the Wilderness" CD Homemade sound effects and detuned strings combine to create something that exists somewhere between Tony Conrad and Pierre Henry.

'for quiet room' free download at compost & height

Begun on January 1, 2008, and completed at the beginning of August. Made using very thickly layered environmental recordings made in one seemingly 'quiet' room; no instruments were played. Through the layering, emergent melodies and drones reveal themselves. The idea was to explore the sounds heard in a music room that was idle. headphones are recommended but I have also found the piece works well when played in an active house; the quieter parts blend in with the normal environmental sounds at the location so that the louder parts seem to develop from nowhere and take you by surprise.
