Об альбоме (сборнике)

Valerio Tricoli is at the centre of a resurgent Italian interest in the possibilities of electroacoustic sound design and radical improvisation. His first solo composition did They? Did I? is a monument of neo-concrete, and his work with 3/4HadBeenEliminated combines sonic manipulation with avant rock dynamics to powerful effect. Metaprogramming..., a single, 35 minute drift, has an aleatory feel to it, but is in fact anartfully assembled audio environment.
A cryptic, two-sided square of card sits inside the jewel case. There's a grainy image, the details hard to make out.
Sickly light seeps into the frame from a distant window, but it doesn't penetrate far-we're left with a shadowy space, nameless obstructions strung across it, and, at the centre, a dense smudge which could be someone's head. Listening to Metaprogramming... is like exploring this room and it's nameless random contents. There are passages of almost total silence-sporadic, distant rustles, the faintest of evanescent chimes-and then sudden, almost industrial incursions, the aural equivalent of scraping your shins on a lurking chunk of rusty metal.
Later in the piece, Tricoli introduces hovering, processed drones, arcane buzzes and shrieks gather in the upper register and the sense of simulated space is opened and shut with disorientating speed, the painstakingly constructed soundstage collapsing in on the listener. Tricoli summons a string of shockwaves from his minimal resources, and by the time it reaches its indeterminate conclusion, Metaprogramming... has attained a brooding intensity which borders on the psychedelic.
