Ennio Mazzon - Azure Allochiria (Triple Bath, 2010) out now!

"Azure Allochiria" (from the greek words "allo" and "chira" meaning "other" and "hand" respectively) is Ennio Mazzon's first solely electronic audio work, after several ones based on field recordings that have been released on physical or digital format, on labels like Time Theory, Impulsive Habitat, Q-tone, Audiotalaia, Resting Bell and his own Ripples label over the course of the last three years. This, being the latest music product of the Italian sound artist, is an electronic environment filled with slivers of sounds, formless at first sight but very cohesive when the reflections and rebounds of the sonic entities unveil the richness and dimension of the sonic whole. The five pieces that compose the unusually narcotic but nevertheless mind-glowing sonic setting, employ a plenty of unnoticeable complex patterns through the entire technically permitted frequency range, which, if detected by chance while listening, will eventually loose distinguishability in the cerebral confusion caused by the highly pitched semitonic dispersion throughout the whole album.

Ennio Mazzon - Celadon (Impulsive Habitat, 2010)

1 Celadon

Project “Celadon” started as an audio documentary of the Piave river, which is located
in the north east of Italy (It begins in the Alps and flows southeast for 220 km into the
Adriatic Sea near the city of Venice). The purpose was to represent with sounds
(field recordings and electronic interludes) the contrasts and the complex interactions
between the "natural side" and the "urban side" of a place.

But “Celadon” evolved in a somewhat unexpected way. Several concrete sounds (raw and processed) captured during the 2010, have been inserted in order to provide a more structured shape, and a noisy coda has been added at the end of the piece. This noisy coda is basically made up of various processed recordings of electromagnetic interferences created using
a tape player, a cd player, a laptop, a small dc motor and a stepping motor found in a old broken inkjet printer. As can be heard in the final version of “Celadon”, the recordings of the Piave river are now overwhelmed by other sounds and the initial “concept” has been probably lost within the new structure of the work.

"Celadon" is an experimental composition built upon natural recordings which reflects the constant changes of our perception of things: new information, new inputs and new approaches are parsed unconsciously and places, feelings and people undergo an endless process of remapping.
The focal point of the piece is now the "decontextualization" of sounds and mental images.
