To MOMI, “PAZZO GRIGIO”

Duo in the mirror that, in a continuous game of doubling and multiplication, ventures into another world, dense with unexpectedness and vital thrills. Sun Ra and post-rock, as well as Chicago experimentation and echoes of the world of Suzanne Ciani and minimal music, are the hints one can sense while listening to Medea, a journey to the edge and beyond. Star Splitter’s new album comes five years after the debut album, a period in which the two artists experimented with the infinite possibilities of this lineup, the length and breadth of Europe, at some of the most important festivals. In complete freedom, a three-day session in the recording studio in Reggio Calabria gave birth to Medea, a dedication, in retrospect, to the film work of Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Duo allo specchio che, in un continuo gioco di sdoppiamenti e moltiplicazioni, si avventura in un mondo altro, denso di imprevisti e di brividi vitali. Sun Ra e il post rock, così come la sperimentazione di Chicago e gli echi del mondo di Suzanne Ciani e della minimal music sono i sentori che si avvertono durante l’ascolto di Medea, un percorso al limite, e oltre. Il nuovo album di Star Splitter, arriva 5 anni dopo il disco d’esordio, periodo in cui i due artisti hanno sperimentato le infinite possibilità di questa formazione, in lungo e in largo per l’Europa, in alcuni dei festival più importanti. Una sessione di tre giorni in studio di registrazione a Reggio Calabria, in completa libertà, ha dato vita a Medea, una dedica, a posteriori, all’opera cinematografica di Pier Paolo Pasolini.
