When you listen to Sale Quanto Basta remember that Paolo Angeli is creating this curious concoction of composition, modal improvisation, and familiar folk melody as-live and all alone, triggering various mechanical pedals, hammers, mini-fans, and brushes welded, Heath Robinson-style, to the mutant body of his outsize Sardinian guitar.
His sixth album sees the eleven minute Mascarutu traverse further than Angeli’s dared before into the zone of the unknown drone, while Primavera Araba features a rare vocal performance, co-opting a local traditional tune to express a global concern.
