Paolo Angeli : Prepared Sardinian Guitar, Vocals, Electronics
Special Guest : Omar Bandinu (Tenores di Bitti Mialinu Pira)
bassu (Cantu a Tenore, Sardinian throat singing)


Jar’a is a surprising album in which the prepared Sardinian guitar , without any overdubs,  achieves the tonal range and sonic pressure of a post-rock ensemble. The suite in six movements brings together avant-garde and ancient traditional singing rituals, evoking wide open spaces, combining underground worlds and the most ancestral Sardinia. Jar’a is a concept album, with three-dimensional sound,  in which Paolo Angeli expresses an innovative contemporary language, inlaying it with fragile, emotive vocals.

Torro a pìlu ‘e abba
ràffigas mai domadas
in isbùlfida cumpro s’apnèa
e a s’ammentu ‘e s’àligas ch’intrìgo a fèdu postu in ‘sa Jara’
Ritorno in superfice
raffiche mai domate
in un soffio completo l'apnea
e affido alla memoria delle alghe posizioni fetali nella Giara
Paolo plays with Dogal Strings and 6Appeal Spicetone distortion.

Special thanks to Crisa for the wonderful portrait on the cover and Omar Bandinu for his amazing vocal contributions.
It’s been great to record Jar'a in organic balance with soul-food cooking at home. Most of all it’s been fantastic to complete the album in Sardinia, in front of the sea in the windy La Maddalena’s archipelago, surrounded by archeological monuments and wild animals in la Giara di Serri and Gesturi. Sùlu is dedicated to Antonio Are.
With love to Emanuela 'vis a vis' the creative process and our discoveries ‘in sa Jara' (la Giara).
