80Hz
a series of microsound compositions by artists around the world

fantasmagramma - d_01

Fantasmagramma are the  Bologna (Italy) based sound-visual artists and 
composers Francesco and
Marco Leoci. Their work process is focused  on the 
phenomenical/perceptual/physical aspect of the
marginal considered qualities of the sound spectrum, and on their structural 
possibilities, developed in
a digital systematic reduction form.

AB
Extrasensory, known for organizing sound art events in London's 291 Gallery 
with an emphasis on all things microsound and glitch, has taken one step 
forward and started its own label. This CD, released last October, marks the 
label's debut. Frantasmagramma is Francesco Leoci and Marco Leoci, who 
create a very minimal style of microsound, much like the sounds you might 
hear on Line, Force Inc., Staalplaat's material series, etc. It's glitch 
electronica in its purest form. Things begin in a very quiet and abstract 
vein, never quite making it into the rhythmical realm but keeping things 
interesting with random pops and close crackles. High and low frequencies 
are coupled and uncoupled in ways you have probably heard before if you're a 
fan of the microsound genre. Still, it's an engaging work, and some ways 
into the disc things become less random and more rhythmic, with more of a 
bass "thump" in the palette to carry you through. There are some delicate 
touches here, and as a whole the work holds together well. Throughout the 
tracks things remain on a more quiet and calm level, never becoming a 
distracting aural presence in the room. Nicely done. [Richard di Santo]
