BURIAL HEX - Fantasma di Perarolo

2010 (Brave mysteries)
liturgical drones
by Francesco Nunziata
6

Registrata nella Chiesa di San Nicolò di Perarolo di Cadore (provincia di Belluno) il 23 dicembre del 2009, all’inaugurazione di una performance di Nico Vascellari, “Fantasma di Perarolo” (cassetta rilasciata dalla Brave Mysteries) è una sonata per organo liturgico in cui Burial Hex (nome d’arte di Clay Ruby) si cimenta con improvvisazioni modali, solenni vertigini sacre e tappeti dronici. I cinquantadue minuti qui raccolti rappresentano soltanto una parte della lunga esibizione del musicista statunitense, conteso tra meditazioni ieratiche e lunghi smarrimenti da incubo.

Un lavoro da ascoltare in penombra, in compagnia delle proprie paure, magari durante una crisi di fede.
