L'Emergency
String Quintet consta di due violini, viola, cello e
doppio basso,
"On the corner " è il loro disco per Public
Eyesore. Il quintetto si muove con disinvoltura nei
labirinti di
una frenetica musica da camera contemporanea, dove
inafferrabili partiture
per archi disegnano imprendibili e fittissime tessiture
astratte, pur
lasciando spazio in alcuni frangenti a momenti più riflessivi.
L'uso insistente della dissonanza contribuisce a mantenere
alto il coefficiente
di tensione nelle composizioni e certamente i musicisti (bravi
davvero)
poco o nulla concedono alla melodia. Per molti questo potrebbe
essere
un disco comunque fruibile, pur nel suo effettivo carattere
concettuale
e nella sua estrema appartenenza all' area della musica colta.
Difficile
da paragonare a qualcosa in particolare On the corner (senti
un estratto) è una colonna sonora mancata, astratta ed
insidiosamente
emotiva, che molto mutua in tecnica dalle strutture libere del
jazz
(specie nelle parti di basso) e dell'avanguardia. Bel disco
davvero.

The Emergency String Quartet is an ensemble with two violins, viola, cello and double bass, "On the corner" is their cd edited by Public Eyesore. The quintet plays a frenetic, intricate contemporary chamber music, with the bows that designs complicate and abstract scores, but in some moments the musicians play more quiet passages. The constant use of dissonances helps the composition's tension to stay high, and surely the musicians are really able to hide the melody. For many of you, this cd might be enjoyable, even if the album has got an effective conceptual value and we can consider this as cultured music. In particular, On the corner (listen to an excerpt) is hard to relate to anything, because it's a sort of soundtrack for an imaginary movie, abstract and emotive in an insidious way, that is so much influenced by the techniques of the free structures of jazz (especially the parts of double bass) and avant-garde. Beautiful album.
