Whatever you want to call it, nobody else is doing it quite like this. Paolo Angeli, a Sardinian musician, manually magics beautiful, multi-layered music from his unique prepared guitar: a hybrid orchestra of an instrument with strings going in all directions, foot-pedal-controlled motorized propellers and hammers to create shimmering drones and bass-lines as he bows, strikes, plucks and strums while producing rhythmic atmospherics by treading on a plastic bag and adjusting tunings on the fly. Electronic effects are utilized but no loops. All is live. With this singular instrument, he improvises and composes unclassifiable music, suspended between the traditional music of Sardinia, jazz, baroque, post-folk and pre-everything.
