Here is what Vital Weekly said about our latest release! Granny Records is from Greece, but the two musicians here are from Italy, of which I dont I heard from Giovanni Lami before. His piece is called Johnny Leech and he uses a hand-made synth known as the cacophonator and a memory man (a delay machine), working mainly on static electricity and leakage current in the synth used without any kind of power supply. It makes up for a nice piece of chaotic lo-fi sound, which is put forward through methods of improvisation. Quite a nice piece and it fits the format very well. The crackling of vinyl surely adds an extra layer. Nicola Ratti uses a modular synth and tape loops, of what seems to be percussive material, but the rhythm is broken down and the whole thing has a nice gentle feel to it, even when it bumps, clicks and glides, but the synth makes it more subtle. Here too one could say this perfect for a 7: one doesnt have the idea that this is cut from a longer part as is not unusual with this kind music. Especially Ratti seems to have worked out his music as a composition, which is very nice. (FdW)
