“You should know z_e_l_l_e if you know about Metaxu. If you don’t know Metaxu, check Vital 406. But also, maybe you already know z_e_l_l_e from their first album Nth released by Line in 2001. As it’s written on the nicely designed (by Keiichi Sugimoto of Cubic Music) cover of their new second album, z_e_l_l_e are Nicola Catalano and Maurizio Martusciello, both from Rome, Italy. With this release they continue to explore the silent edges of sound, doing that with great care for sound. Only small and short clickey and wavy sounds of various kinds appear in the silence, very minimalistic and micro sounding approach again. You should turn up the volume more than usual to hear better, and not using headphones is recommended if you ask me, because open space is important for this music to fuse with the surrounding. z.e.l.l.e are good at what they’re doing and I like it so far. But I wouldn’t like to hear 10 more albums like this in the future, because I think there’s not much space left for being inventive in the same musical outfit. Maybe z.e.l.l.e should go more in the foreground and explore even more fully present music (like Metaxu). Nicola once told me that these tracks are older, from the Nth period, but Cubic Fabric were enthusiastic about them, and that’s great because this is minimalistic music of the finest kind.” (BR)
