DESCRIPTION
MUTAMASSIK
Rekkez

Label : ini.itu
Year : 2012
Format : LP
Style : Experimental
Availability : Out of stock


Description :Mutamassik (i.e. tenacity in Arabic) is the musical avatar of Giulia Loli, who merges Egyptian percussions with hardcore breaks. The result, sometimes dubbed Sa'aidi hardcore & Baladi breakbeats is a mutant, syncopated form of instrumental hip-hop.

This album is collection of tracks bearing resemblance to pages torn off atormented diary, with a complex array of emotions:anger, angst, gloom, pride, faith, isolation, anguish, etc. The circular rhythms are fusing acoustic instruments (Re'qs, Mazhar, Douf, Cello! – all of them played by G.Loli - ) and electronic tones. The whole is contextualized and augmented by the nuances of voices, sometimes vocoded, and field recordings culled from Tuscany, Egypt and various other locations.

Often bittersweet and brooding, the raw fuzz of the music evokes an insular and somewhat fractured force, balancing between the abstract and the confrontational. These tracks will take you for a ride in sprawling afro-asiatic melodies and elaborate, circonvoluted developments.
