PIETRO GROSSI - BATTIMENTI [ANTS, ITALY, 2002]
Pietro Grossi was one of the pioneers of the experimental musical scene in Italy. This CD shows one of his visionary electronic works: "Battimenti", an electronic work composed and realized in 1965, made by the 94 combinations of near frequencies, organized in groups of 2, 3, 4 and 5 sine waves. This coupling originates the "harmonic beatings", overtones born out of the intersection of frequencies.
Originally thought by Grossi as a "working material" for his famous electronic Studio di Fonologia Musicale (S 2F M), this work has, in itself, the ability to fascinate, as only the greatest artistic intuitions have.
The rigour of Grossi's working method creates an imaginary sound painting, that he later called "94 songs of XXth century's anonimous". It's a composition that anticipated times and was contemporary to other masterpieces of modern music. A real forerunner of electronic minimalism that later occurred. The personality of Grossi and his passionate theories and music, make his new discovery obliged.
Limited edition of 500 not-numbered copies.

taking no prisoners, OTM!
These look great and I applaud your effort, but I keep d/l'ing and finding files at 160. Would you please consider at least 192? If these were available I wouldn't think twice, but since it looks like these are the only copies we're going to get, it is a disappointment. Not that you have to do anything on our account...
Most (if not all) of this music is older and out of print and is offered for sample purposes. iTunes default rip is 160, so I use 160. 160 is plenty high quality for a sample (iTunes refers to 128 as "good," 160 as "high" and 192 as "higher."
If 160 isn't good enough, I suggest trying to track down the original CD or LP and purchase it, regardless of whether it's in- or out-of-print.

One could learn a lot from music.
