Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"A vivid exploration of ever-changing urban landscapes that follow one another generating a seething flow in constant transformation. Not an environmental mapping, but a sensory translation of the world in which they are immersed is the one produced by Vito Pesce and Walter Forestiere in their new work, a record that sees the duo reach the realization of the second stage, three years after their debut. shared.

Scanned in three long movements, ÒAnthropolitan ChoraleÓ defines a restless journey focused on the succession of sound textures that convulsively move between welcoming harmonic scenarios and harsh trajectories, rich in oblique dissonances and sharp feedback. It is a close dialogue, which alternates encounters and clashes, the one established by Pesce's guitars and Forestiere's rhythm sections, a confrontation without prevarication but not based on an accommodating assonance, full of joints that serve to reproduce the entire range of contrasts of contemporary living.

Each track moves in gradual growth taking the moves from muted and markedly material movements and orienting itself towards explosive electrical peaks, following an irregular route resulting from a careful deconstruction work of a well-considered compositional line. From this practice a constant tension is released that keeps the attention alive and accompanies to the end whoever listens to this tumultuous narrative spiral."-SoWhat, translated by Google.
