From The Earth To the Spheres Vol. 3

While the Torino-based MCIAA focus their musical research on instantaneous composition, often combined in audiovisual installations, JOMF, who formed in Portland, Oregon, exactly a decade ago, base their music on roots & american primitive blues, free jazz improv & psych folk-rock aesthetics. releasing cd-r volumes as audio-documents, as well as setting up live improv installations through their own u-sound archive, JOMF created a platform of collaboration with other kindred spirits.

Their piece 'Breaking' begins with a kind of old gospel fragmented by beats, which moves throughout empty areas 'till imploding into deconstructed sounds & voices over vinyl scratches, where silence breaks out loud & unexpected. MCIAA's 'Blank View' is a psychic trip moving from the deep darkness towards the brightest light. this totally improvised track, made of interwoven sounds of cathartic guitar chords , percussions & xylophone, is permeated by wordless vocals, whose impressive and sad lyricism comes out from a streamline of sounds from outer space.
