Musical Project by Mino De Martino (ex Giganti) and his wife Terra Di Benedetto, managers of a club in Rome in the early 1970s that offered music and theatre. Albergo Intergalattico Spaziale was the name of the club and also the name under which the two performed live a few times. The recording of the album of the same name took place in 1976, for EMI. However, the record company got scared listening to that strange mixture of electronic and progressive music and dissolved the contract. The couple managed to recover the rights to the recorded material which was published as self-produced in 1978. The album, an evocative sonic journey, is fascinating not only for Di Martino’s use of electronic keyboards, but above all for the extremely expressive voice of the Di Benedetto, who often uses it as an added tool. The experience is short-lived. The two also took part in the tour of Franco Battiato’s Telaio Magnetico.

First of all, I hate captions. “Oggi a me, domani a te” ( “Today me, tomorrow you” ) is simply an inscription on the gates of a cemetery beneath the Barchi Tower. The tower is the most emblematic sign of the ninth century saracen invasion of the Alta Val Tanaro, a remote corner of north-western Italy. The place name, Eca Nasagò, is derived from two arabian phoenemes meaning “ferocious” and “battlefield”. It’s in Ormea: a small village on the outskirts of the Piedmontese mountains, it stands above the Ligurian coastline. Ulmosciu, the local dialect, is a weird mix of Piedmontese, Ligurian, Arabian, German and French. There are no similar languages in the area. For example, the train comin’ from the plain in ulmosciu is “sbrivotzu”. Meanwhile the train goin’ down the valley is “scuriatzu”. I’ve used these two rare, unique words, connecting to southern Italian traditions.In fact, at the start of the piece, my pronunciation is Neapolitan. And I’m talkin’ about “A’ livella”, a poem wrote by Totò, one of the greatest actors of the twentieth century.So deeply ancient, early Christian-like, a marvel of our popular literature. It’s about death as a spirit level for everybody; rich and poor.The whole track is a representation of chaos, and of the entropic energy on planet earth.
“La merce perfetta”: is made of circles and spirals. I’ve taken the most bitter phrases of Alberto Camerini’s “Droga”, a cut-up that I sing in the first verses as a vocal poem then as a soul song. And by the way, It’s not about the meaning of the lyrics, but rather the sound of the words.Using the voice in this way serves to introduce the second stanza: overtunes, glossolalia, falsettos, scat, blues, etc.What I’ve sung is assaulting me from the inside. The last part, the third one, is about sound perception. Therefore we have a drone, a low-pitched bass and glitchings. The singing is free improvisation, a fifteen minute take one. It’s not perfect (who cares?) but it’s imbued with emotion, so groovy. The only way to finish the number before getting lost in DPOAEs…But at this point you’re as well just to listen.(EnomisossaB)

Hermann Nitsch
Sinfonia Punta Campanella
CD, 2004, Fondazione Morra
€ 40,00 (NEW)
Music plays a fundamental role in the life and work of Hermann Nitsch. It has always been one of the founding elements of his Orgien Misterien Theater (Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries). The initial use of music as purely functional to action was later replaced with a necessity for autonomous composition, in which music finds its own role, independent from the theatrical sphere. Nitsch’s poetic is made up of strong contrasts where music represents the syntax of his theatre. Going through the scores it’s possible to see how the sound image guides the flow of action. The roots of this music can be traced in the excess, the scream and the uproar. The most extreme excitation is connected to the most extreme manifestation of noise.
If at the beginning of his work the casual dimension was necessary in order to discover new forms, this later becomes an integral element of the complexity of the theatrical structure. The events within the O.M. Theater consist of an aesthetic of chance but are strongly structured, and their structure is guided by a musical weave.
The Punta Campanella Symphony
is a clear example of an expression of the autonomous activity of Nitsch the composer. Here it is possible to see all the fundamental elements of his poetics. The aesthetic and Dionysian dimension are clearly announced by the continuous play of construction and destruction of musical forms. The highly dramatic dimension is rendered extreme by the extended crescendo and by a play of contrasts which go from chiarissimo to scurissimo.
Performed by Orchestra Xenarmonica del Conservatorio di Palermo including more than 40 musicians plus local folk bands, this Symphony in four movements was recorded during the World Premiere on September 22, 2004 at Punta Campanella, Naples, in front of the Capri Island at sunset.
This set comes in a luxury full colour digipack and slipcase, including a 28 pages booklet with photos from the event, scores as well as two essays titled “The O.M. Theater’s Music” and “Punta Campanella Symphony”. Privately issued by the art gallery that organised the performance in order to document the event.
