Ennio Mazzon – Azure Allochiria

Ennio Mazzon is a talented guy. Not only does he run the great Ripples Recordings label but also releases a large variety of experimental music ranging from drones and fieldrecordings to freeform experiments with prepared guitars or laptop improvisation. His latest work “Azure Allochiria” is a testament of his laptop work, which focuses on highly abstract textures and complex sonic explorations.
“Azure Allochiria” offers a wide range of sounds. Starting with jittery sine wave rhythms to clicky fragments moving through the stereo field, while brooding drones simmer in the background. This is plain computer music. And it’s absolutely fantastic at being just that. Although being quite busy at times, the tracks carry a soothing calmness. It’s like standing in the middle of a large computer facility, the whirring noises, the little beeps blend with the ambience so easily and quickly, one almost forgets that the music is still on. A beautiful and mesmerizing album the perfectly complements Mazzon’s other works.
