Valerio Tricoli has spent the best part of a decade perfecting his own edgy brand of Musique Concrète; complementing the discipline’s rich canon his own with idiosyncratic forays into sound. After a seven year gap between solo album releases (a gap filled with collaborations with the likes of Thomas Ankersmit and Antoine Chessex), Tricoli’s new solo record Miseri Lares has been well received since its release in April; with Fact magazine proclaiming, “it could be one of the best things to emerge from the PAN imprint thus far.” Miseri Lares balances subtle patterns and unsettling, sometimes surprising cut ups. And the album (created by an old Revox tape recorder and some masterful digital processing) also features a host of disconnected, ethereal voices contributing texts from Dante, Guido Ceronetti, The Ecclesiastes, H.P. Lovecraft, E. M. Cioran, and Tricoli himself.
