Reception



Nessun tentativo di turismo colonial-musicale, piuttosto il voler attingere dalle fonti extraeuropee per realizzare un arazzo sonoro senza tempo, dove tecnologia e suoni dalla vita reale si fondono in un continuum di grande fascino sonoro.
-Carlo Boccadoro, Internazionale 06.01.2015

This complex and poignant sound collage is comprised of recorded voices that quickly dissolve into ambient electronic sound that grows increasingly in intensity over the course of this reflective piece.
-Clocktower Radio NY

This work is packed with history, knowledge and emotion…so much emotion that it brought a friend to tears. The music accompanying the imagery was infectious, meditative, transitory, crawling into my psyche…repetitious beats reinforced the clarity of the images, their power and resonance.

Ye Shanghai è molto più di un disco. È una ricerca innovativa in cui l’artista indaga l’incredibile storia di questo Ghetto.
-Lorenza Ghinelli, Carmilla 23.01.2015

Ye Shanghai è musica contemporanea che non ha nulla da invidiare alle soluzioni di Brian Eno. Il clarinetto suona su loop rubati ad una famosa canzone cinese “Ye Shanghai” del 1937 che la scompongono fino a rendere impossibile il suo riconoscimento. L’opera diventa così un unico lunghissimo brano di un’ora che si sviluppa con suggestioni stratificate.
