Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Taxonomy (Martusciello, Lella, Fega) plays compositions and improvises, exploring the syncretism between different musical codes. Taxonomy always allows the whole to be divided up into its constituent parts. A line of shadow between osmosis and isomorphism. Martusciello is a member of the improvisation group Ossatura."-Ambiances Magnetiques
