///

The mechanism of individual and collective memory and its rituals, are the central inspiration of our Requiem. It’s not a formal Mass; our intention was to harvest and express the community’s need of sharing and binding its ties while facing the experience of death.
A deep sense of community - religo in latin, binding in english - inspired our structural research.
Requiem becomes then the concerting moment that asks for “holding back”, a desperate request of time suspension, the ultimate demand for re-living, re-experiencing, re-loading, re-gaining, now, in this very ritual and public moment what will be lost forever.
Through a free attitude in music composition and expression - our syncretism - we designed a process of electroacoustic layering, consolidating in 3 compositional areas the process and destiny of organic life.

- Living Elegy - the enchantment for life and its many endangering gates: the movement is subdivided in (living) Articulation, (ritual)Transition and (pathological) Abandon;
- Nostalgia - the seeking for the integral time suspension and life preservation;
- Transfiguration - where we depict the organic reaction to danger and biological faith, subdivided in (furious and ultrabiological) detachment, (regenerating) intimate power, (coding the) extended mind, (persuing a new form of) immanency.

LOOP

Italian sound artists Luca Canciello and Lorenzo Brusci have an important career in the fields of audio, music and composition for different art forms.
Bresci lives between Berlin, Krakow and Tuscany and Canciello resides in Berlin.
"Requiem", released on German Attenuation Circuit, consists of one track with three movements: "Movement 1 - Living Elegy", "Movement 2 - 13 ': 30"_Nostalgia” and “Movement 3 – Transfiguration.”
This is an avant-garde improvisation proposal in which blend elements of classical music, experimental electronics and noise.
The music is abstract, dark and intense as every sound that emerges is unpredictable and disturbing.

BAD ALCHEMY

Lorenzo Brusci (Timet, Climnoizer, Giardino Sonoro) & Luca Canciello gestalten als SYNCHRE mit ihrem Requiem (ACU 1009, CD) aus Drones, Breakbeats und dunkel grollenden Blechbläsern (oder Orgelpfeifen) einen Dreisatz aus 'Living Energy', 'Nostalgia' und 'Transfiguration'. Als einen Übergangsritus, mit einer zart flehenden Gesangseinlage von Tozim Madzima aka Zimbabwe Bird, zu plonkenden Lauten aus dem Innenklavier. Danach wieder rauschend sich wälzende, zittrig verzerrte und knarrende Synthie- und Gitarrensounds, mit Vogelgezwitscher durchsetzt und erst zeitlupig gedehnten, dann wieder zuckenden Beats. Und zuletzt auch wieder der dunklen Bläserpracht, zu der sich diese grandiose Musik der brausenden Verwandlung entgegen stürzt. Wer braucht noch eine Leitkultur, nach so einem Durchgang ins weiße Licht?

UNRUHR

je weiter sich der bogen spannt, desto größer auch die gefahr, dass er (auseinander) bricht: wenn stücke einer vö von semieingängig bis experimentell reichen ist das schon schwierig genug, wenn das aber innerhalb eines einzigen stücks passieren muss, ist es erst so richtig anspruchsvoll.


„requiem“ beginnt erstmal in einer art, die alle, die listening-elektronik mit experimental anleihen mögen einfängt: dunkel über vertrackt groovender perkussion streichende flächen elektronischer wie akustischer (hörner, streicher…) herkunft, die, kaum entstanden, die rhythmik aufbrechen lassen, sich selbst auffasern und ein bedrohliches, vielfingeriges gespinst aufbauen. …um es wenig später in eine leicht elektronisch untermauerte neoklassik-fläche zu leiten… industriell gerieben, auch dann noch, wenn der (chor-) gesang(!) einsetzt; erst recht, wenn die maschinenartigen rhythmusfragmente und der kontrabass ihre arbeit aufnehmen. ab diesem punkt begibt sich „requiem“ in eine längere passage rein elektronischer düsternis. und trotz der vorher tonangebenden gleichheit zwischen akustischem klang und elektronik fällt „requiem“ auch hier nicht etwa auseinander; die entwicklung ist ganz wie folgerichtige, natürlich wirkende (aber höchst überraschende) komposition. der widereinsatz der symphonisch gesetzten hörner und streicher (wiederum hinterlegt mit industriellem noise) und ihr erneuter ausklang in der atonalität sind so gleichermassen logisch wie verführerisch lockend. auch wenn es dann „nur“ noch die coda ist.
in seiner art perfekt; unvorhersehbar und trotzdem zugänglich, experimentell ohne zerfall.

schöne grüsse

FELT HAT REVIEWS

Synchre is Luca Canciello and Lorenzo Brusci both artists with huge and long-standing experience in both visual and sonic arts whose affiliations, and versatility is rather difficult to put into a short bio.
Almost a 40 minutes piece "Requiem" is a white knuckle ride into a world of phantasm - dynamic fuzzy idm glitch blend of ambient and quasi syncopated beats/structures and ambience created as a utility that brings you on the edge of your seat. Very dramatic and unpredictable narrative which could easily be a soundtrack for a dystopian future happening now.
The structures here are rich, deep and luscious. Both artists work really hard to make it really dense.
If you like idm glitch related music in an unorthodox sauce of Derridian symulacra book your ticket now.
