Paul Baran's "Panoptic" is out on FangBomb.
Here Andrea plays drums, percussion and electronics, along with Paul Baran himself, Keith Rowe, Werner Dafeldecker, Armin Sturm, Rhodri Davies, Sarah Whiteside, Gordon Kennedy,Davy Scott,Timothy Cooper.
Partially inspired by the writings of the theorist Jeremy Bentham and the concept of globalization, and assisted by Werner Dafeldecker, Ekkehard Ehlers, Keith Rowe, Andrea Belfi and a list of other fine collaborators, Paul Baran has created "Panoptic" - an attempt to soundtrack the lives of creative people affected by such concepts as underclass, surveillance and the dangers of mass consensus.
Baran intends "Panoptic" to be a collection of electro-acoustic atmospheres that underscore these concepts, without resorting to blind polemic. And as for the sound of it all - think electro-acoustic, minimalist, idea based, experimental fusion, conceptual improvisation with contemporary song structures.
