Carlo Spera -
Discography
The
project is born in the spring of 2003 from the polyhedric personality of Carlo
Porrą who, after studying jazz and blues guitar and piano, lyric singing and
computer music for years; and after exploring the darkest meanders of the
electronic music and the improvisation, decides to put his experience and
passion to fruit with a rather original project. The ambitious idea is to open a
new road in Pop music melting musical influences which go from Jazz To Blues,
from the 80’s electronic music to new tendencies of techno pop and electronic
improvisation, from progressive to psychedelic rock, up to arrive to Classical
Pop songwriting.
The
meeting with Mario Massa and his impro-contemporary music festival "KONTAKTE", further
increases the musical horizons. His hypnotic and sinuous trumpet, with
"Davis-like" references and the clearly North-European mark, confers consistency
and thickness where the music more need it.
Maurizio Marzo with his "velvety" and
"technological" guitar is the right complement of the project, with his "aerial"
and "corrosive" sonorities. His experience and academic preparation reveal,
soon, themselves an important contribution for the project. The first album "Sto
correndo", gone out for the Videoradio of Milan ( and
advertised
on the italian magazines: JAM, CHITARRE and ROCKERILLA), is the first true test
desk. 15 passages between explosive sonorities and "cathartic" moments, between
jazz, electronica and pop song.
News !!! The new
album: "Electric sky music" is out...trumpet,
digital and prepared pianoes, guitars, vocals, drum machines and samplers in a
radical downtempo crossover. Someone defines this music “acid-lounge” or “a kind
of electronic jazz!!! ” . An almost intrumental collection of 10 tracks as a
risult of a long studio work.
What they said about "Sto correndo":
"...after the listening
to the debut record of Carlo Spera & Stereonoise, the union of electronic music
with jazz will seem the most natural and coherent union of every time..."
Giusy Vaccaio for
MEDIATROUPE
“...finding out in the
editorial office little pearls as this Sto correndo of Carlo Spera & Stereonoise
is really exiting..... how much the sung in Italian can be beautiful if the
texts are not banal and anything is had to be said...”
Jo Laudato for
Blackmailmag.com
“...Intelligent,
interesting, fascinating. Here the three terms better suit to this Cd…not to
recover this album could be one of the worse choices of the last times for the
one who loves these sonorities...”
From: erbadellastrega
"… the Mouse On Mars would pay gold to write a so funky
stuff , catchy and damnedly rhythmic that flatters breakbeat… fifteen traces
that go from the Clock DVA to the Suicides with a loan of Miles Davis and a lot
of 80's memory funk…"
“... electronics always owner of the situation, that throws the
threads of small jewels as the title-track, "Tempi moderni" and "Good
vibrations"...”
Giuseppe Catani for
ROCKIT magazine
“...an elaborate, competent and clean production that explores
new paths of electronic music, fusing influences of various genres, resulting in
a complex work that looses the initial pop connotations in favour of a
funky/jazzy approach...”
From:
DARKLIFEZINE.DE
"...an album where we don't find any common sonorities, almost
nothing is left to the case: the psychedelia
is the bonus weapon of this musical project, it has such a depth that hypnotizes
the listener leaving him thousand thoughts…"
“...15 tracks, a more than 60 minutes lasting trip through the world of
electronics with influences from all possible musical genres, a touch of jazz
and blues, a wink to 80s electro and more than once this release is flirting
with poppy structures. To give an impression on how versatile this release is,
it is allready praised in the alternative jazz world where musicians as Bugge
Wesseltoft set the rules...”
From:
gothtronic
"...electronic rhythms with the great ability to never trespass
in the pure electronics, but courting sweet melodies..."
From:
ANIDRIDE
SOCIAL NETWORK
"...they choose the way
of experimentation in the electronics, pursuing at times a jazz dream , and
sometimes rock/pop digressions, also distant in time..."
from
KDCOBAIN.IT
" the act of beginning of Carlo Spera & Stereonoise proposes a
fusion-like mixture with marked electronic attitude that wisely flirts with pop
sound. The final result is creative and enjoyable, also for merit of a brilliant
and sophisticated production ...
"
Michele Dicuonzo
for
SENSORIUM
web magazine
“...If someone still
doubts on the fact that in Italy electronic music has become too self
referencing and few brave, this disk can be usefull to make change him mind…”
Amedeo
Verger
for
UNMUTE.net
“...Cerebral pop or
melodic breakbeat?
… two anybody but both
in a fusion that puts together jazz shades , a trumpet that involves in the
sonorous magma and a sung that suddenly emerges with a sense of surreal
insinuated in the whole work… a curious and often fascinating work, that has in
his being transversally pop his winning card…”
