DELL’UNIVERSO ASSENTE
a cura
di girolamo de simone
this complete recordings including the legendary
'Dialoghi del Presente'
These recordings sound as they feel self
contained, introspective, and determined, you can feel in the music a sort of
necessity that can be rarely found, as in Bill Fay's "Time of the Last
Persecution", or in Nick Drake's "Pink Moon": this enormous
weight that is bearing on it's creators, the absolute need to exorcize it from
their lives, a moment in time where you are invited to hear artists truly in
contact with their existence. Luciano Cilio holds that moment in time, an
authentic emotional testament, something to be cherished (...) from Jim

GENRE: Holy
minimalism, avant/progressive, acoustic music |
born in Naples in 1950, Luciano Cilio has joined the
universitarian studies in architecture and scenography to music, collaborating
in the ‘60 and ‘70 with several non-conventional musicians (as Alan Sorrenti
and Shawn Phillips) developing surprising intuitions about the relationship
between gesture, words and music. Sitar and guitar virtuoso, excellent pianist,
Luciano Cilio "essentially self-taught concerning the music composition"
focused his research on long sustained sounds, on the sound in its primary and
‘internal’ meaning, at the outset on the melodic, rhythmic and harmonic
entities, to "re-enter in the sound, to hold it, to hold it... then to
leave it to go”.
His career officially begins in 1977 with the publication of a full-length
album titled "Dialoghi del presente" (entirely included in this
release along with several extra tracks) composed between the end of the '60
and early '70. In this record Luciano Cilio plays as a multi-instrumentalist,
performing on piano, guitar, flute, bass and mandola, also joined by musicians
coming from different experiences and areas. Unexpected, in 1983, the dead in
suicide, at crest of his career, but also at crest of a production shuddering
into silence.
This edition presents his entire recordings, curated
by Girolamo De Simone
