Ictus is providing a platform in this CD for Italy?s most surprising composer: Fausto Romitelli (1963-2004). It is a manifesto, a work which expresses his convictions. Although ?contemporary music? as we knew it (from Boulez to Lachenmann) is a closed chapter, this does not mean that from now on we should content ourselves with a peaceful return to order, to neo-classical evenly-spaced colonnades. Insolent in his modernity, Romitelli draws inspiration from the shady universe of psychedelic rock, seizes upon its electronic resonance, its hallucinatory zest, and plunges both into the cauldron of powerful composing of the kind inherited from Gérard Grisey - the art of sculpting the tones according to their natural resonance, until a ?virtual world of sound? emerges where everything co-exists - electronic trickery, acoustic splendor, the very substance of ?dirty? sound.
Romitelli breathes a sense of drama into this new science of ?total sound? which captures the listener?s imagination. It is an appeal to Henri Michaux?s writings on the effects of mescaline: the uncontrollable ebb and flow of the mind jostled by inner storms, the noise and fury of the world filtered by the highly refined ear. A visionary work.

OUT OF STOCK / Avis de Tempête, an opera by Georges Aperghis is portrayed by the press as a "total art work". The Ictus ensemble?s new disc (in SACD multichannel) sweeps you off into the heart of a hurricane in sound. Voices, instruments and electronics come together in vigorous, organic music that illustrates the creation of an inner storm.

Fausto Romitelli | Paolo Pachini | An index of metals | Ictus (Ref.: CYP5622)
OUT OF STOCK /// Fausto Romitelli, who died in 2004, was an astonishing Italian composer, of insolent modernity. His approach to the ?heart of sound?, his style and his work on sound matter unquestionably reached hits high point in his last work, the video-opera An Index of Metals. Conceived from the start as an ensemble, music and image seem indissociable in this brilliantly experimental work that is both metallic and sensual.
