À la folie

Playing the analog synthesizer, Cendo borrows from the electronics of the 1970s, in an assertively vintage style. In D'estasi, Pasquale Corrado evokes the memory of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians, as she was represented by Raphael in 1514. From ecstasy we slide into the schizophrenia of Raymond Roussel, with Olga Neuwirth's locus... doublure... solus, one of the most accomplished piano concertos. Sasha J. Blondeau, finally, refers to Foucault's concept of heterotopia, these places of isolation (asylum, amusement parks) and takes us through a sonic counter-space, with rethought borders.
