La Cave Des Étendards
CD + DIGITAL — CATALOG MIKROTON 71 — RELEASED APRIL 2018
La Cave Des Eteendards or The Cave Of Standards is a wordplay between Cave12 and Standards, two venues where they recorded the concerts which became the foundation for the tracks of the album.
"L'orecchio Di Dionigi" is a cave in Siracusa with a special echo that allows one to hear from the entrance any sound from the inside; in the past it was probably used as a prison because of its aural properties, very useful to control what the prisoners said.
"Le chateau Est Une Oreille" is inspired by Italo Calvino's text "Un Re In Ascolto", written for Lucian Berio, where he describes sound narrative of a castle from the position of a paranoid king.
You can use these references as a way to enter the cinematic world both musicians created with multiplicity of tape sampling and the use of extra tools to make the music as complex and inter-refential as possible.
