Marco Avitabile is an Italian guitarist and sound artist experimenting with textural, free-form improvisation. Having spent his youth within the local post-hardcore and metal scenes, Marco’s guitar playing is minimal and streamlined, more closely informed by visceral expressionism rather than technical proficiency. “A Few Meaningful Things”, his second solo work and first for Colectivo Casa Amarela, highlights string clang shining through live signal processing, providing a clear-eyed celebration of simplicity, flirting with multiple styles while not fully committing to any.
Whereas his previous work focused more on sound processing - used as a semi-generative mean to create improvised guitar music -, here crude performance takes center stage, renewing Avitabile’s dedication to the six strings and showing his most intimate approach to the instrument yet.

An abstract journey towards balance, between spontaneity on one side and meticulous craft on the other, much like the life situation that inspired these pieces: as Avitabile strives balancing the titular few meaningful things in his life - music making on one side, a day job and his family on the other-, the urge to create fights with the struggle to fulfill it, which is ultimately what fuels the urge itself the most.

Selected and edited by Avitabile himself from countless hours of home-recorded material, the tracks on “A Few Meaningful Things” were expertly mastered by James Plotkin, further underlying a lineage of post-genre, razor-sharp, instinctive guitar music the album aims at being a part of.
