about

Mandhira de Saram: violin
Luigi Marino: live electronics

All tracks are recorded live and without overdubbing.
The electronic part is played mono, on one side of the stereo field, and matches the action space of the violin.


Reviews

My favorite piece is “Scattermacron”... Marino brings a more tactile aggression with his electronics that’s quite percussive at times, and as the piece opens de Saram engages with him through taut pizz tones, together conjuring a lovely pointillism. But with any good improvisation what often matters most is the interaction between the players rather than a particular stylistic focus, and these two have a special connection. In some ways this session suggests a less peripatetic analog to the violin-electronics duo of Angharad Davies and Phil Julian. Both projects deploy very small gestures, and while de Saram and Marino tend to ride out certain sequences longer than the Davies and Julian, their devotion to hyper-focused exchange is similar.
(Peter Margasak, Nowhere Street)

Emergent Idioms Bristol, UK

Emergent Idioms
gathers improvisors seeking alternatives to concepts of freedom and reductionism.
Among the ruins left by sweeping concepts, we look for post-ideological solutions in the unforeseen idioms that emerge, like unknown traditions, from the relationships between the actors in play, be it people or objects.
