PAINT A PICTURE \u2013 PICTURE A PAINTING<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\nGiovanni Di Domenico <\/em><\/strong>and Rutger Zuydervelt<\/a><\/em><\/strong> first met in 2019 for a short live improv set. Later, in 2022, Di Domenico also performed live with the Hydra Ensemble. As things go, the two decided to work on a collaboration project<\/p>\nPaint A Picture \u2013 Picture A Painting<\/em> are the titles of the two tracks on this album. With their relatively short length (13:10 and 17:46) they are perfectly fitted for a vinyl release (there is no CD version this time).
On the first track, Zuydervelt reacts to Di Domenico\u2019s improvised piano. On the second, it\u2019s the other way around but also a continuation: Rutger manipulates sounds from the first piece, laying the foundation for Giovanni to improvise over.<\/p>\nWith some 225 releases as Machinefabriek<\/em> and 70+ under his own name, I\u2019ll simply skip the introduction and assume his work is familiar. It sh\u00f3uld be, anyway!
Giovanni Di Domenico<\/em> is also quite a prolific artist himself: his discography also boasts no less than 70 albums released since 2010. By far, most of them are collaboration projects or appearances in groups: he has previously worked with artists like Arve Henriksen, Nate Wooley, Jim O\u2019Rourke, Okkyung Lee, Toshimaru Nakamura \u2013 and many others.
Both artists are eager to experiment, cross borders, and defy expectations. But without their music becoming incomprehensible elitist \u2018avant-garde\u2019. <\/p>\nThe album (vinyl and digital) will be released on June 13 but can already be pre-ordered. During the pre-order period, a t-shirt with a stripped-down version of Christiaan Kuitwaard<\/a>\u2018s <\/em>cover art is also available. <\/p>\n
