Giovanni Di Domenico & Abschattungen – The Ear Cannot Be Filled With Hearing
Abschattungen is the band Di Domenico formed to pay hommage to everything that goes under the name ‘funk’. Strong grooves are laid under a forest of psychedelic textures and intense melodies, filling the auditory space with dense metaphysic dance movements.
Taking inspiration from albums as Sun Ra’s Lanquidity and Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza’s Feedback, black music inspired pulsations are fused with contemporary music’s sensibilities and the power of free jazz, resulting in a futuristic sound but still very indebited to the marvelous history of black musics.
12″ Vinyl designed by Miquel Casaponsa with graphics by Giovanni Di Domenico. Out on El Negocito Records.
