As much as they are   interacting with each other, they are responding to their environment:   reacting to weather conditions with drones, creating the sound of a   passing train with deep pulses, simulating mobile phone signal   interference with staccato phrases, joining in others&#8217; conversations, or   even just evoking sensations of space, or of danger. This is far more   than just an album of duets, this is an ensemble piece both featuring   and dedicated to London, to its geography, to its networks, to its   people, and to its moods. It is an album born of a love that cannot be   shaken by downpours, by filthy streets, by the potential for violence,   or even by missed buses.&quot; <a href=\"http:\/\/mapsadaisical.wordpress.com\/2010\/08\/17\/maurizio-ravalico-and-oren-marshall-in-thunder-rise-not-appicable\/\">www.mapsadaisical.wordpress<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&quot;In Thunder Rise is a work of musical research that affirms a little Copernican revolution: the quest is not a linguistic one from the performers, but rather an active research by the listener. The listener finds himself searching for the sound produced by the musicians within the sound of the environment. To separate, to retrieve, to join, to measure the sounds, to present the ear with an excercise of attention and concentration, which we unconciously practice every day, all day; this is the cipher key of this double album.&quot;<br \/>\n  Marco Franceschetti &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openimpro.com\/blog\/2011\/01\/01\/ci-sono-piaciuti-nel-2010\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.openimpro.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&quot;Roger Turner would have been much more fun.&quot;<br \/>\n  Dan Warburton &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paristransatlantic.com\/magazine\/monthly2010\/10oct_text.html#9\" target=\"_blank\">www.paristransatlantic.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Album Description:<\/h3>\n<p>Recorded during the Summer of 2007, and taken through many phases of  minute editing and poetic reframing, this peculiar album finally throws  itself into the light, and opens up to outer criticisms and  observations.<\/p>\n<p>Maurizio Ravalico and Oren Marshall have performed extensively around  the London&#8217;s improvised music venues circuit, and have explored in  painstaking depth the relation between their two instruments, the tuba  and the congas, before taking the decision of recording their first  album entirely outdoors, within the varied urban environments of London.<\/p>\n<p>Isambard Khroustaliov has sound engineered all the sessions, and was  creatively involved in the project from the beginning. The performances  were recorded using a technique established after few pilot sessions: a  pair of microphones was placed fixed above the instruments, while,  headphones on and with another stereo pair on a hand-held telescopic  stand, Isambard was moving incessantly around the location, now getting  closer to the instruments, now running away from them, now focusing on  something else that was going on during the improvisations, making  musical choices all along the recording process. Although he doesn&#8217;t  produce any sound, Isambards&#8217;s presence can be heard throughout the  album, in form of movement and sound depth, making this, under all  perspectives, a trio work.<\/p>\n<p>The tracks are arranged with disregard of their chronology, following  rather a musical path, and fade into each other seamlessly, avoiding  any artificial silence throughout the album. What would be in any other  instances &#8220;background&#8221; becomes here an element of the orchestration,  compositional accuracy being applied in choosing where and how to exit  from one particular environment, and reveal the next.<\/p>\n<p>The two volumes of In Thunder Rise are two uninterrupted journeys,  each roughly 50 minutes each long, to be savoured with headphones on and  closed eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the next page: <a href=\"..\/?page_id=788\">Further Readings &#8211; a Literary Appendix<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Further links:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maurizioravalico.com\/\">www.maurizioravalico.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.orenmarshall.com\/\">www.orenmarshall.com<\/a><\/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>NOT014 &#8211; Double CD Album &#8211; Release Date 15th October 2010 CD and digital via Not Applicable Bandcamp In Thunder Rise &#8211; vol 1 by Maurizio Ravalico \/ Oren Marshall \/ with Isambard Khroustaliov In Thunder Rise &#8211; vol 2 by Maurizio Ravalico \/ Oren Marshall \/ with Isambard Khroustaliov vol 1 (total running time &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/?page_id=765\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Maurizio Ravalico \/ Oren Marshall \/ Isambard Khroustaliov &#8211; In Thunder Rise<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-765","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/765","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=765"}],"version-history":[{"count":69,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1621,"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/765\/revisions\/1621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
