ENT - FUCK WORK (CD)

"Fuck Work has been obtained through the advanced yet surprisingly vivid distillation of several avant-garde music aesthetics, including electronica, post-rock, turntablism, noise and electroacoustic improv. Instruments and machines blend together into a multi-hued soundscape that entices the listener to dive in and immerse himself/herself into the listening experience. You might detect influences as varied as AMM, Gastr del Sol and Pan Sonic, alongside Giuseppe Ielasi and the recent Italian quiet improv scene. The five pieces found on this CD were first composed in the studio, before being deconstructed during live improvised sets and finally reconstructed back in the studio, keeping only the elements deemed crucial. The resulting album is unfailingly magnificent, from first second to last. Italian multi-instrumentalists Michele Scariot and Emanuele Bortoluzzi formed ENT in the end of 2000, shortly after they first met. One of their first tracks was selected by the widely renowned Fat Cat label for inclusion on its website in 2001. The duo has self-released a few demos and contributed tracks to a number of compilations released by labels such as Ojo de Apolo (Chile), Saag (Japan), Giardini Sonori (Italy) and Baskaru (France), in addition to a few collaborations with net labels (Tu M'p3, Homemade Avantgarde). ENT has performed live throughout Italy and in France. Crowning five years of intensive artistic research, Fuck Work is ENT's official full-length debut." (label info)
