Capodopere are back with their yearly wax phenomenon, having Suolo on
the sixth issue after stamping the catalog with Fanfaronade and Fenomen
releases. He has seen touchable changes within the last couple of years
as the visions morphed into more subtle and dusky ones, tailoring the
pieces to the new eyes wide open conception.
The ready-steady-go
is how we have seen the outset of this record as “No Proof” slams into
the speakers with an assaulting force, taking over the surroundings and
advancing into the layers of bass lines. Some elements of the piece are
carrying geological provenience as Suolo has grounded the percussions
and laid the path for the coming vocals. It is certain that the magic
happens around the deliberate vocals that as well as their enchanting
presence throughout - mark the lively beginning of a musical hike.
As
we move to the next episode of the chronicles, “Rudiment” speaks a lot
about Suolo’s founding bases, with the heavy lower notes being the first
ones to reach the receptors. With no dissonance for ourselves,
“Rudiment” is where he achieved the perfect balance between the low and
high, inside a spiral of circling ambient buildup. Gently overlapping
the A side, B1 is the piece that plunges between the beginning and the
ending of this EP. He recreates imaginary sojourns through the layered
dissociation of the field elements. It is as Susumu Yokota would produce
music for club floors.
“Oasis” is a well-anticipated
continuation. The gurgling sub-bass is noted at the first sight yet the
rest of the cookout is at the preparation stage. A slashing indigenous
voice becomes the companion of the piece throughout the deserted lands
of layered pads. We reach the oasis when the sandy kicks are taking over
the desolated fields, peaking into the various luminescent shots paired
with playful melodies of a recreated xylophone. Is it a somber downhill
or an elevating escalator?
