RIMA GLOTTIDIS - ˈriːmə gl(ɒ)tidis
Un divertimento vocal-elettronico di Økapi 

Rima Glottidis è l’apertura tra le corde vocali e una cartilagine della laringe. In quel piccolo spazio è contenuto l’universo delle nostre esperienze sonore, da quelle fonetiche minime a quelle verbali. Nascono lì e, attraversando poi anche altre parti del corpo, escono da noi e ci individuano.

Bruno Maderna sosteneva che dietro a una “A” pronunciata si nasconde una complessa genesi sonora di centinaia e centinaia di frequenze difficilmente replicabili se non attraverso lo stesso paio di corde vocali. Sono consapevole che le tecnologie contemporanee stupirebbero anche Maderna. Non ho però lavorato con questa intenzione. 

Rima Glottidis è un divertimento musicale che gioca con parole e frasi che ho raccolto e ritagliato da antichi vinili di apprendimento della cosiddetta corretta dizione. Errori di pronuncia dialettale o disturbi fonatori. Errori? Qualcuno li potrebbe definire così. Per il musicista, sono suoni. Solo bei suoni.

Silence Through Universe [EP]

---- English :

With Silence Through Universe, Mindblast brings its representation of “the non-audible” through four electronic movements between Bass and Psychedelic Music. The space that extends every second reflects almost no noise. What is it possible to hear where antimatter reigns? Is the sound produced by the encounter between two supermassive black holes is the only word of the cosmos? Mindblast’s second opus shows his aesthetic research in a space journey. Join the exploration team with these four titles between Neuro and Psychedelic.

Which representations should we remember from the atomic microcosm? Atoms are charged with micro-particles that intertwine and trigger a multitude of invisible interactions to the naked eye. The energy that comes out reflects all the power of space. Inner approach those representations with a choppy rhythm, protruding bass and oriental atmospheres.


---- Français :

Avec Silence Through Universe, Mindblast apporte sa représentation du “non-sonore” à travers quatre mouvements électroniques entre Bass et Psychedelic Music. L’espace qui s’étend chaque seconde ne reflète presque aucun bruit. Qu’est-il possible d’entendre où l'antimatière règne ? Le son produit par la rencontre entre deux trous noirs supermassifs est-il l’unique mot du cosmos ? Le deuxième opus de Mindblast montre sa recherche esthétique au cœur d'un voyage spatial. Rejoignez l’équipe d’exploration avec ces quatre titres Neuro et Psychedelic.

Quelles représentations doit-on retenir du microcosme atomique ? Les atomes sont chargés de micro-particules qui s’entremêlent et déclenchent une multitude d’interactions invisibles à l’oeil nu. L’énergie qui s’en dégage reflète toute la puissance de l’espace. Inner aborde ces représentations avec une rythmique saccadée, des basses saillantes et des atmosphères orientales.

The Økapi is a mammal which was only discovered in 1901 by an acousmatic engineer. It lives wild in the forest of the Itur Region in Upper Zaire. It was named the Okapia Johnstoni and it also commonly known as the "Daft Giraffe of the Forest". One of its strangest characteristics is that it is the only known mammal to wash out its own ears with its tongue: just to catch the weird melodies of nature! He adores those ferocious and vindictive chants that make him sway like ... and he fights relentlessly for the domination and hegemony of incorrect and unlistenable music. He hates talking about music and certain music purists of the Forest are definitely not his friends! In recent years he has played for Dogon tribal rituals and for those more intimate Metaxu deliriums, but he is considered a solitary mammal and consequently has only published one anthem to protophony for a small label of the American prairies.
