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.
