ANTS RECORDS

Sometimes few notes or a little melody are enough to fell in

love with an artist. Sometimes you need to search, to go

deep in the earth of the sound.

With Enomìsossab both these possibilities are true, and they

coexist together for the listener. In this album the very

beginning of "L'Elefantessa e la Leonessa Matta" shines with

the clarity of the vocalisation. And "El Mantra", following,

sediments layers of vibrant, tactile sound material using vocals

over a carpet of strings. And the other tracks drawn the

“map of chants” of this young Italian artist, heir of the great

Demetrio Stratos and few other “singers” of extended

techniques. Enomìsossab (or, vice versa, Simone Basso) find,

with this second CD, the key to open the door of a research,

“classically” suspended between rock and experimentation,

between popular culture and avant-garde roots.

"Co Coron Fon Fin Fun" is a vocal trick; "L'Ombra di

Mezzogiorno", is a “case of song” with class; "Crushed by the

wheels of industry" is the homage to the “punk” that’s gone,

a kind of dark ballad "a la Nick Cave". And the two versions of

"4 e 33", with John Cage - the “origin of all sounds” - as a pre-

text, are a kind of avant-garde electro-dada-blues, deeply

modified.

And there’s also the grimace, the taste for the quotation, the

theatrical invective (in "Propaganda Due", grown version of

the same piece on his first album) to testify of a complex

artistic personality and of a “physical” and “emotional”

attitude, absolutely uncommon.

Overtone chant, guttural sounds, linguistic deformations, the

“calembour” and the vocal contortion. We find all of these

and more in Enomisossab’s repertoire, founded, has to be

said, over a good writing vein, actively sided by a bunch of

“free mind musicians” (Franco Gullotta, Fausto Balbo, Luca

Miti, Alessandro Cerratti, Roberto Leardi, the Architorti)

during his solitary path.
