about

Official music video of this album: youtu.be/r3BUsKyRc9s

With "Formaldeide", his first album, Vincenzo Ramaglia tries (on a score for flute, clarinet, sax and piano) a sort of chamber ambient which - through new, evocative, estranging sound alchemies - plunged the sophisticated and polyharmonic 20th-century exuberance (from Prokofiev to jazz) into the contemporary reflection on sound (explored through stratifications of harmonics, multiphonics, breaths, whistles and roars) and about silence.

The critics talk very well about the experiment, defining it as a "place of impossible meeting between Coleman Hawkins and Salvatore Sciarrino" (Michele Coralli, Blow Up), and also as an interesting attempt - "erudite and at the same time approachable, [...] antithetic to some piano pop, pimp and intimist, with contemporary pretensions" (Vittore Baroni, Rumore) - to reach an ideal "medietas, right compromise between agreeableness and research" (Daniele Follero, Sentireascoltare).
