dyanMU


<< Back


Just about two years ago Enrico Coniglio and Elisa Marzorati started the "dyanMU" project. With instruments ranging from samplers, filters, computers and a piano they created a true masterpiece which can be mentioned in one breath with the works of someone like Biosphere or Fennesz. Heavy minimal ambient, on times with minimal technoid beats and patterns, in which the piano dictating the melodic parts in most compositions.

If you compare this release to for example the collaboration between Alva Noto and Ryuchi Sakamoto, "dyanMU" is accessible to a way larger audience. On the one side this is because of the less incoherent way she plays piano, but it's definitly also because this release contains less weird and hurtful frequencies. But concerning the amosphere, both collaborations are quite close to eachother.

The label on which this album is released - the artwork reminds me quite a bit of Touch releases with pictures by the hand of John Wozencroft - is an Irish label and "dyanMU" is release number 22. Most of the mentioned artists are unfamiliar to me, but i was pleasently surprised to read the names Lackluster and Hans-Joachim Roedelius.
