DISCOGRAPHY
Andrea Belfi "Knots" CD (Die Schachtel 2008)

1-Parte prima
2-Parte seconda
3-Parte terza
4-Parte quarta

Recorded and Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, May 2007
Produced by Fabio Carboni e Bruno Stucchi

"Italian drummer Andrea Belfi truly drives his new solo release into a poly-rhythmic drum circle from another dimension. The whole work not only sounds wonderful but, more importantly, Andrea Belfi has developed a strong spatial sense characterized by a crystal clear cymbal tone, deep, warm bass drum, drone-like electronica and a never ending groove"

  • Andrea Belfi "Between Neck & Stomach" CD (Hapna records 2006)

    1-Sandlglass
    2-ExtraEvil listen
    3-Broken Shoes
    4-Sleeping With ExtraEvil listen
    5-Her Own Desert
    6-Footprints

    Between Neck & Stomach is grounded on two core elements: the first is the material collected during the unique experiment of turning a house into "a living creature with its own voice" (just one example: a synth emitting one continuous note shaking a cupboard filled with pots, pans and plates). The second core element is the choice of just one thematic note per song, around which each track is built and balanced.

    In this challenging album the acoustic elements and the electronic ones mingle, intertwine and sometimes switch places: the acoustic sounds are treated as they were electronic, and the actual electronic ones are played at the very moment. Rhythmic patterns go beyond the mere beat as AB shapes them in cycles, ever-circling but ever-changing, both reassuring and surprising. This album sketches imaginary landscapes where drums, guitars and voices blend into a bunch of eclectic tracks, which, in spite of their radical minimalist roots, are definitively worthy of the name 'songs'.

    Andrea Belfi's skills in composing and editing is electro acoustic works were clearly perceivable in his 2002 debut album, Ned n°2, warmly welcomed and well reviewed by magazines such as The Wire, Bananafish, Sound Projector
