He picks up the sound created by the acoustic instruments, analyses and processes it in real time (using a series of hand crafted software tools) and plays it back to Maurizio as a mode of conversation, creating a structural dialogue between two vastly different worlds, one continuous by its very nature and the other a discreet manipulation of this reality.<\/p>\n<p>The duo&#8217;s approach to the music itself is therefore predominantly concrete, in that the two performers work at generating one single and undivided sound output. No one is accompanying anybody else; both performers occupy the same sound zone, and are, under all perspectives, playing one single four handed meta-instrument.<\/p>\n<p>The CD comes in a specially designed fold-out package made from one sheet of paper, with hand printed artwork.<\/p>\n<h3>Film:<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/7886850?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/7886850\" target=\"_blank\">Isambard Khroustaliov \/ Maurizio Ravalico Duo &#8211; Improvisation 1<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/n074ppl1c48l3\" target=\"_blank\">not applicable<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\" target=\"_blank\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/8229819?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/8229819\" target=\"_blank\">Isambard Khroustaliov \/ Maurizio Ravalico Duo &#8211; Improvisation 2<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/n074ppl1c48l3\" target=\"_blank\">not applicable<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\" target=\"_blank\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/balboai.eomail6.com\/form\/6b4d0914-f312-11f0-a389-9d1e404591de.js\" data-form=\"6b4d0914-f312-11f0-a389-9d1e404591de\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOT007 &#8211; CD Album &#8211; Release date 3 December 2006 CD and digital via Not Applicable Bandcamp Five Loose Plans by Maurizio Ravalico \/ Isambard Khroustaliov 1 \u2013 Iguana 2 \u2013 Two Modulated Eastern Items 3 \u2013 Never Die Slow 4 \u2013 Colloid 5 \u2013 Grand Metal Maurizio Ravalico &#8211; percussion Isambard Khroustaliov &#8211; electronics &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/?page_id=19\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Maurizio Ravalico \/ Isambard Khroustaliov &#8211; Five Loose Plans<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":10,"menu_order":94,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1627,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19\/revisions\/1627"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
