Daniele Brusaschetto
In my opinion, Italian Daniele Brusaschetto is one of the great home recording musicians of Europe. He has worked in many styles from experimental sound, drum ‘n bass, progressive rock to crooning acoustic ballads. In fact, he operates much of the time in his own universe. Not speaking Italian I do not know the lyrical content but I do know that he is consistently engaging and interesting to listen to.
Above, his split tape with some other artists on the Black Orchid label from Slovakia
his 2005 CD, “Mezza Luna Piena” released on the Bosco label from Italy.
I can’t remember what was my very first trade. I still have almost all the packages and letters I received during the years archived in a large cardboard box, almost all in chronological order. To stay true to historic memory and to relive the past I went digging through that box.
The first mailings happened between 1995 and 1996.
The first things I see are M.Nomized and Eric Boros. With the former, well noted veteran of the experimental underground, I traded a lot of audio material and later we collaborated on several compilations. Eric, founding member of Vialka, at that time played noise with the pseudonym Hermit and ran a tape label called Pulp Mill. It was wonderful to discover by hand an underground circuit of global dimensions dedicated to personal music without compromises. Finally, the need of “belonging” could be satisfied.
non ricordo qual è stato il mio primo scambio in assoluto.
ho ancora quasi tutti i pacchetti postali e lettere ricevuti negli
anni archiviati in un grosso scatolone di cartone, all’incirca
disposti in ordine cronologico. per tenere fede alla memoria storica e, per risentire vividi i sapori di quel passato, sono andato a ripescare da quel contenitore. le prime spedizioni sono avvenute tra il 1995 e il 1996. mi saltano agli occhi m.nomized ed eric boros. col primo, ben noto veterano dell’underground sperimentale, ho scambiato parecchio materiale audio e abbiamo poi collaborato per svariate compilations. eric, membro fondatore dei vialka, al periodo suonava noise con lo pseudonimo di hermit e teneva le fila di una tape label chiamata “pulp mill”. è stato bellissimo scoprire con mano un circuito sotterraneo, di dimensioni mondiali, dedito a musica personale senza compromessi. banalmente, l’esigenza di ‘appartenenza’ poteva dirsi appagata.
