The Magic Bridge, Richard Dawson (2012)

In diving into the back catalogue of Richard Dawson (something that I’ve no idea why I didn’t do earlier), one reveals his closely studied folk roots. My only real point of reference for The Magic Bridge is the American Primitivist (silly genre name) work of John Fahey, another who studied a certain sort of folk tradition that tells long and winding tales through guitar alone.

Such a comparison threatens to make The Magic Bridge sound a bit boring, though – and it most certainly isn’t boring. For one, unlike Fahey, Dawson sings. For two, it’s big and intimate and tender and universal, all the great contrasts, all the ones I love Richard for so dearly.

Pick: ‘We Picked Apples in a Graveyard Freshly Mowed’

Світлана Няньо (Svitlana Nianio) – Transilvania Smile

Ukraine, 1994, avant-folk This is what happens when you give a vila unfettered access to a Casio keyboard. She’ll spin you around with her rotating, as she revolves around the rotation, and if you happen to escape before dawn, look for a self-released cassette in your mailbox by nightfall to remind you of your revels.

Listen/purchase: World Speaks by Piotr Kurek

Piotr Kurek is a Warsaw-based musician, multi-instrumentalist and composer. Drawing on a diversity of approaches and influences, he creates hypnotic, fantastical music and occasionally composes for film and theatre. Known to work as a solo musician, but also as part of various collaborations (most recently Piętnastka with Hubert Zemler), he has released music on Edições CN, Mondoj, Hands In The Dark, Black Sweat Records, Dunno, Sangoplasmo and other labels.

His latest album World Speaks for Edições CN (released in February 2022) is an album of illusory sensations. Overlapping voices, droning organs and reed solos inspired by imagined landscapes combine to entrancing effect. Whereas previously his work was described as “modern, cubic and art brut”, here it takes a more mystical, sacred turn. Inspired by found photographs and romantic landscape paintings, Piotr Kurek composed and arranged these pieces using various vocal sample banks, mimicking the feeling the memories of the images evoked in his mind. Introspective, yet still gently whimsical, it's a wonderful next step in Kurek's creative journey.

Silvia Tarozzi & Deborah Walker - Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore

(Avant-Folk, Italian Folk Music, Psychedelic Folk)

Silvia Tarozzi and Deborah Walker rework songs from their rural Emilia youth, giving new life to long-lived Italian stories of working class women, protest, political violence, and poor-paying hard work. These avant-garde takes on beloved Mondariso songs take you to the roots of Tarozzi and Walker's music, the deepest they've ever dug into Italian folk music and its deep emotive power.

☆☆☆☆

What's most beautiful about Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d'amore is that it places Silvia Tarozzi and Deborah Walker deeper in their musical history than ever before, those little hints of traditional Italian folk and experimental classical getting pushed out into the sun and soaking in every minute of it. Previously working with one another performing strings on recordings from the likes of Eliane Radigue and Philip Corner, the two of them have proved in the past that they have some incredible chemistry together, Canti di guerra... taking those short collaborative bursts and extending them out across 53 minutes and 12 songs. It's by far one of the most boundary-pushing and emotionally resonant albums this year, these decades-old stories brought back to life through the magic of their strings and a handful of vocalists who join in to help ensure that the words aren't lost to time either. Possessing pieces both on the extreme and serene sides of the avant-garde, Canti di guerra...'s Italian roots don't mean that Tarozzi and Walker's usual string experimentation is lost in the mix. Opening track Country cloud has sharp violin lines from Tarozzi that spit and stutter like a sprinkler half-broken, her incredible bowing technique shooting out what seems like a thousand notes a second and making for an introduction to Canti di guerra... that's somehow able to be both enchanting and a bit frightening. Other times, they'll warp Walker's cello to sound like a siren blaring in a pitch-black grass field on the chilling Parziale ("Partial") or go for abstract soundscapes with Meccanica primitive ("Primitive mechanics"), where what sounds like soft scrapes against wood and clamoring percussive instruments spent four minutes getting you invested in something mystic and playful, the album's most experimental piece and simultaneously its most sprightly. The album's best moments, though, are those aforementioned Italian folk songs, often sung by choirs of female rice field workers called Mondisaros, which Tarozzi and Walker perform with such love and passion and tenderness that I can't imagine anyone in the avant-garde scene surpassing this year. La lega ("It binds it"), the album's one and only single, is the quickest and most potent way to get a taste of this sound, Tarozzi's velvety violin and Walker's heavenly viola droning below an innumerable number of voices singing with one another, never totally in sync and imbuing the song with such spirit and history that you're immediately sucked into Canti di guerra...'s world, organic and strange and electrifying. It's not just that Tarozzi and Walker have created music that is so personal and unique with its Italian roots, but how they stitch that into their own forward-thinking artistic process to nurture and cultivate a sound that's so impeccable that even its most unusual moments have you completely won over. These dreamy, formless ambient folk tunes occasionally teeter on circuitousness, running around the same droning chords or melodic motifs for minutes at a time, but Tarozzi and Walker keep Canti di guerra... from becoming sluggish by steeping the album's slower moments in rich textures and sensitive vocal performances that allow the more relaxed pace to feel soothing rather than disengaging. After the wild and dissonant take on Il bersagliere ha cento penne ("The bersagliere has a hundred feathers") in the album's midsection, the following rendition of it with Nigerian gospel singer Ola Obasi Nnanna feels even more cerebral and stunning, Nnanna's spiritual music background perfect for this war song of death and protection that's brought even further by Tarozzi and Walker's marvelous, pensive strings. They mix the more out there string manipulation with a plain, heartfelt violin performance from Tarozzi on early highlight Pietà l‘è morta, blurring the lines between Canti di guerra...'s two musical sides and embracing their ability to bring these songs of work and war into the modern day with a unique instrumental flair. It feels like the two of them have unlocked an old tower full of stories that they can finally tell, giving a voice to music few might know otherwise through the sorrowful drones of Sentite buona gente and La lega's solar flare of chants and strings that embeds a deep connection with these songs to anyone who hears them, the kind of eternal folk songs that could be performed in another lifetime and be just as touching as they are right now. It's definitely an unusual album, and one that takes many listens to fully attune to if you're unfamiliar with Tarozzi and Walker's work or Italian folk music in general, but even on the first listen Canti di guerra... has such a strong gravitational pull that you can't help but come back to it and catch every ray of light you can find. The album's thoughtfully nostalgic nature gives way for an experience close to their hearts without causing them to lose touch with what makes their music so special, combining experimental techniques with the power of these long lived, war-torn folk songs that give listeners a chance to learn just a little bit more about that unique time in Italian musical history, with Tarozzi and Walker as their guide. It's no surprise that the album's title is something as simple and relaxed as "Songs of war, work and love": stories that are so universal and deeply felt rendered so wonderfully here that you can feel just how much heart went into crafting each and every one of them.

64. Anna Vis | Como um bicho vê

🇧🇷 Brésil | YB Music | 46 minutes | 20 morceaux

"Como um bicho vê" est le premier album d'Anna Vis, composé à la fois de chansons et de poèmes. Compositrice, chanteuse, instrumentiste, arrangeuse, parolière mais aussi ingénieure du son, l’artiste paulista ne s’en est pas moins entourée de nombreux camarades de jeu (parmi lesquels Juçara Marçal et Ná Ozzetti au chant ou encore Romulo Froes à la direction artistique) pour faire émerger une œuvre avant-gardiste haute en couleur.
