| Luca Bergero is the man behind Fhievel and 'Vetri Di Carta' is his third release (I don't know the other ones). Luca is not a man of many words I'm told and his music shows that. His music is minimally made. Using just a few sounds, culled from field recordings (birds is the only source one can recognize at one stage), changing them endlessly via means of software, his music hoovers on edges of silence. Overal there is both a classical, almost Stockhausen approach in his compositions, but in a modern approach of silence. Although it is possible to link his music to people like Bernard Gunther and Richard Cartier, the most strong influence seems to me Roel Meelkop. The same approach in sound treatment and composition can be noted. Luca Bergero may or may not be aware of this, so it's probably unfair to call him a copycat. The four pieces show a great talent. |
