“Die Schachtel is proud to present Death by Water: a four-hand musique concrète composed by Fabio Selvafiorita and Valerio Tricoli. This one track disc has been realized between Milan, where it has been composed, and Giudecca Island, in Venice, the location of the field recordings and reel-to-reel tape treatments. The music stresses and questions the dramatic and alchemical potential of a musical landscape marked by water, as the work is intended to approach the fourth movement of T. S. Eliot’s poem “The waste Land”. Fabio Selvafiorita e Valerio Tricoli created a work full of narrative suggestions, visceral and metaphysical at same time.” label info
