Chamber Music in the Galleries

Guitarist, composer, ethnomusicologist, and instrument builder Paolo Angeli is associated with traditional Sardinian music, but nobody performs it quite like he does. Paolo composes multilayered music for his unique prepared guitar: a hybrid instrument with strings going in all directions, foot-pedal-controlled motorized propellers, and hammers. He creates shimmering drones and bass lines as he bows, strikes, plucks, and strums the strings. Rhythmic atmospherics abound by treading on a plastic bag and adjusting tunings on the fly. Electronic effects are utilized, but Paolo uses no loops. With his singular instrument, Paolo improvises and composes unclassifiable music, suspended between traditional music of Sardinia, free jazz, flamenco, Arabic, and postfolk.
