SEC_: reel-to-reel tape recorder, computer, no-input feedbacks manipulated on tape

Mario Gabola: feedback and acousitc sax, self-built photosensitive feedback system

Aspec(t) are SEC_ and Mario Gabola from Naples, Italy. Appreciated for their original mix of electro-acoustic detailed improvisation and power electronics/noise visceral attitude, they have played all around Europe and organized hundreds of concerts in their home city.
SEC_ plays reel-to-reel tape machine to manipulate sound of different sources and to generate and control feedbacks; Mario Gabola plays his self-built photosensitive system that interacts with no-input feedback mixing board and with sax. The result is a fascinating and inextricable forest of sounds: frenetic structures, twisted rhythmes, noise explosions, ancestral cries, an unceasing perversion of the soundscape and the time stream.

As a duo they have released one LP, three CD’s (two of which in collaboration with swiss composer/performer Dave Phillips and polish drummer Andrzej Zaleski) and various CDr and cassettes. Together or separately they have collaborated with musicians like Jeorme Noetinger, Dave Phillips, Arnaud Riviere, Andy Guhl, Rudolf Eb.er, Agostino Di Scipio, Olivier Di Placido, Dario Sanfilippo, Scott Sinclair, Andy Bolus, Jean Philippe Gross, C_C and many others.
