Alfredo Costa Monteiro - Cinq bruissements / For Solo Accordion

Coming after my first solo accordion recording (rumeur on creative sources, 2004), cinq bruissements is a new step into the exploration of the accordion; this time, the microphones were placed at a very tiny distance of the instrument, almost inside, as if it was literally auscultated by very greedy ears, attentive to any remote rumor. Trying to penetrate the sonic secret of this secular box (pandora’s one was more essential, although it was a jar) reemphasizes a disconnection between what is predictable and what is identifiable.’ Very singular sounding accordion solo recording, at times like an array of bizarre analog electronics and at others like beautiful minimalist tape music, this is an unbelievable achievement in extended technique. There are still boundaries to be pushed and there is no genre to define one man’s most unique and inspired creation. Limited to 300 copies.
