After "Logos" on Musica Maxima Magnetica records (cmp review on these pages) I find myself reviewing another Paolo Di Cioccio album that this times takes a more radical turn in a direction of experimental electronic and Theremin purism. Although the album "I Sing the Voice Electric - Theremin Recital" also features oboe and various electronic modulation in the form of synthesizers and processors, it is obviously a record focused around that beautiful Russian instrument called Theremin. For those who are unfamiliar with it, think of it as an electro-magnetic device with two antennas that produces sounds according to the position of the performer's hands in the air (they never actually touch the instrument). Di Ciccio's latest Theremin extravaganza has all the bells and whistles of a Theremin recital, from the classical vibrato sound that will reminisce you of old American UFO and sci-fi movies from the fifties to new experiments in unconventional sound design, from minimalist isolationism to ambience audiophilism. Although I like experimental avantgarde music I must say I definitely prefer Paolo's more "musical" side ("Logos" being a great example of his skills), even though I recognize the artistic value of a work that calls for a "new sound world" (like the CD's Italian-only liner notes by the author explain) and I value his effort in combining his new approach to the art of sound with his profound knowledge of music. The CD cover has an illustration of the Twin Towers called "The Giants" (by Tonino Caputo), but the CD makes no further reference to NYC or any of last year's events.
