Re: [microsound] MINIMALIST MUSIC IN ITALY

[pachinkostudio <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Microsuoni is an italian distro while iXem is (was) a collective of 
electronic musicians generally focusing on electroacustic and 
"experimental" music.
Probably the most representative minimal units were Z.E.L.L.E. (Nicola 
Catalano and Maurizio Martusciello's project) and Fantasmagramma 
(Francesco and Marco Leoci's group). They both have records out that 
you'd better give a listen to.
Luigi Turra (aka Esa) is also focusing on minimal reduction with music 
released on cdrs and on sinewaves (an Italian netlabel):

xo00 from Otolab (a fine collective of electronic video and audio 
artists) is also experimenting with sounds and flash animation in a 
minimal way which is worth checking: http://www.otolab.net/
A nice article (although a bit dated now) can be found here:

More to come...
