FELICIATI, LORENZO & RABBIA, MICHELE - Antikythera (Sealed) (CD)

Visionary Italian composer and bass player Lorenzo Feliciati's new RareNoise release arises out of a long-sought after collaboration with Italian master percussionist and sound-designer Michele Rabbia. In Antikythera, named after the Greek 1st Century astronomical computation device discovered in a shipwreck early in the 20th Century, Feliciati and Rabbia coalesce studio improvisation with incredibly detailed post production work, to produce a 'musical mechanism' of rare elegance and precision, spanning a bridge between ecstatic electric jazz and exquisite soundscape design. Special guests on Antikythera include trumpeter Cuong Vu, saxophonist Andy Sheppard, Italian pianists Rita Marcotulli and Alessandro Gwis and Feliciati's Naked Truth and Mumpbeak bandmate, keyboardist Roy Powell.
