Bron Y Aur - Between 13 & 16

Playing together since 1995, the four members of Bron y Aur , attracted soon attention thanks to the quality of the first two demotapes (1997 and 1998) and obviously for two previous albums. Always considered a band who take roots in the seventies, they don’t hide having spent their days in youth between Zeppelin and Sabbath, to be fascinated then by the german kraut rock and free jazz. This unusual mix generates an original and open-minded band able to exalt its own rock roots as to interact with musicians of different extractions.

This is the second album of the band, conceived when the band gathers in order to give shape to some intuitions born in their jam sessions, leaving the improvisation take the main meaning. In the following reorder and selection of the material all the parts considered even partially fruit of a composition have been eliminated, the improvisations emerge like the most inspirated moments. The subsequent mixing , where Edoardo Ricci and Jacopo Andreini took part, have been really important in the assembling and treatment of the materials: Bron y Aur becomes part in the large formation of musicians who used the recording studio like an added instrument.

A Short Apnea - Illu Ogod Ellat Rhagedia (Ustrainhustri)

The second album by A Short Apnea, Illu ogod ellat Rhagedia (Ustrainhustri) is a concept album divided into three long tracks, themselves evolving tunes composed of different movements. The innovative rock symphony – involving not only guitar, bass, and drums but also accordion, sax, clarinet, ’60s psychedelic experimentation, jazz as free expression, and ’90s american noise rock – breaches today’s rock line and finds its place as a hybrid music born of the mating of post-rock and experimental noise. With its instrumental pieces, A Short Apnea builds an evocative soundtrack-like album that works with variations of mood. The musicians take you from dark alleys where you witness a surrealistic apparition to disquieting dank sewers, then change the general atmosphere here and there with a melodic passage reflecting hope, while always bringing you back to spasmodic and bizarre tunes or dissonant and quiet experimentations. Dense and complex but at the same time evocative and easily accessible, A Short Apnea brilliantly proves with Illu ogod ellat Rhagedia (Ustrainhustri) a that avant-garde does not necessary means intellectual or inapproachable.
