Blonde Zeros

God Fried Finger

Reinvent jazz from new aestethics is not an issue anymore. The music of the new millennium is more than ever connected to the retrieval and creative arrangement of suggestions coming from the musicians' own experiences. Materials come from the most disparate fields, often eradicated from a cinematography that features dazzling and uncompromised sonic devices. Musicians as biological databases, subtle consciences that give their own memories a new employment. Those memories are redeemed from the tyranny of their original purposes and nostalgic reminiscence. Musicians as liberating - and rescued - souls.
Danilo Gallo and Max Sorrentini's God Fried Finger is a bright manifesto of this finding poetics, an assertion of re-compositional wisdom that ends up bringing the common instrumental functions into question. Blonde Zeros are a bass and a drumset that generate carrier structures, making themselves a story that doesn't depend on further musical layers. Layers that, nevertheless, are there, and valuable: Giorgio Pacorig's visionary keyboards, Piero Bittolo Bon's urgent alto sax, Maria Vicentini's excellent strings, Laura Copiello's voice, Danilo Gallo's poly-instrumentalism.
Recorded by Blaž Celarec in the snow of Ljubljana, this music shines brightly in Enrico Terragnoli's wonderful mix and post-production.

Review quotes:

Enrico Bettinello
Blow Up - luglio 2010

"Saranno le partecipazioni incrociate (qui abbiamo Sorrentini, Gallo e Pacorig, piu' consueti ospiti), sara' la voracita' nell'assemblare materie ed elementi elettroacustici di piu' varia natura, sara' una sottile attitudine sfrontata e sperimentale, ma questi Blonde Zeros ci piacciono parecchio!"
