Zero X Zero is a new project by Antonio Caputo and Marco Milanesio exploring dub industrial with partly added classical structures. Field Recordings are as important as Harmonica, Guitar, Cello, Bass and Synth.
The 4 tracks recorded at home and O.F.F. Studio, Torino during 2019/20 are an serious attempt at fragmented melancholy. Dissected sounds lead to more desolation instead more clearity and melancholy is reflecting itself with an uneasy feeling. The track titles do not give away much either and listening is a surprise.

In "Surgkung" a guitar entering the noisy arena dominates for a little while before getting lost in synthetic ramblings which could go on forever but don't. A straight, dubby beat opens "6602" which is set against a freestyle sound scenario where cello and guitar meet before they get lost again as the beat did.
The title track is the most challenging; an uneasy shade of oriental blues meets a heavy, drunken beat and analouge space sounds aid the impression of altered reality short before collapse.
The final track "6601" is especially impressive; post-hope, post-everything, post-darkness. A longish mainly accoustic intro leads seemlessly into a drone part morphing back again and concluding with a perfect mix of all parts.

In a way Naostrophy is a continuation of the DsorDNE/Onda Lunga release 'Inside' from March 2020 - but less ambient and more organic. For fearless souls only.

A pdf photo booklet is included.

Nastrophy è nuovo lavoro di Antonio Caputo e Marco Milanesio che insieme formano il progetto Zero x Zero. L'album è composto da quattro tracce di musica sperimentale che possiamo associare al genere della dub industriale. Ogni traccia ha una sua storia e una struttura ben precisa. I due compositori riescono a mischiare la dolcezza degli strumenti ad arco con la rugosità e freddezza della musica elettronica. In Nastrophy troviamo delle sonorità malinconiche, ad esempio in Surgkeung possiamo ascoltare l'elettronica che genera un caos ordinato che poi vede la risoluzione in delle linee melodiche lontane e poi di nuovo il caos ordinato. Decisamente interessante l'acceso dialogo tra il violoncello e la chitarra elettrica presente in 6602 (secondo brano dell'album). Nel terzo brano, Nastrophy, che dà anche il titolo all'album possiamo ascoltare i tipici ritmi blues mischiati con dei suoni elettronici molto interessanti. Consiglio l'ascolto a tutti gli amanti del genere sperimentale che cercano un connubio tra classico ed elettronico

ENG

Nastrophy is the new work of Antonio Caputo and Marco Milanesio, they are the Zero x Zero project. The album consists of four experimental music tracks that we can associate with the industrial dub genre. Each track has its own history and a very specific structure.
The two composers mix the sweetness of string instruments with the roughness and coldness of electronic music. In Nastrophy we find melancholy sounds, for example in Surgkeung we can listen to the electronics that generate an ordered chaos which then sees the resolution in distant melodic lines and then the ordered chaos rise again. The lively dialogue between the cello and the electric guitar in 6602 (second track) is very interesting. In the third song, Nastrophy, which also gives the title to the album we can hear the typical blues rhythms mixed with very interesting electronic sounds. I recommend listening to all lovers of the experimental genre who are looking for a combination of classic and electronic.
