ST.RIDE - PIUME CHE CADONO (CD by Zeit Interference)
Although around since 1998, this is my first encounter with St.ride, a duo from Genova, Italy: Edo Grandi and Maurizio Gusmerini. Their previous releases were on Snowdonia, and 'Piume Che Cadono' is their latest. On their website, which is sadly in Italian, we see them at work: live in the studio, using two DJ CD players, a computer and a mixer. It's not easy to put them in any sort of category, which of course is not the exact task of the reviewer (but also comes in handy). Part of the problem is that St.ride play short tracks, twenty in total in a time span of just over thirty six minutes. Sometimes a rhythm is the backbone over which the two improvise their way, using a variety of sounds, which are simply hard to define. Guitars? Synths? Voices? Or just plundered stuff from CDs? It's hard to tell. Sometimes the music is rather sketch like, using one or two ideas, but I think they are better when things are more complex. Mostly electronic, however not in any way techno related, mostly improvised, but in any conventional sense of the word. Like said altogether not easy to put in some category, but throughout an enjoyable CD, with a good sense of varying ideas. (FdW)
