Yerevan Tapesからのコンクレートカセット音源[Crimini d'Odio]の内容が素晴らしかった、Giovanni LamiとのデュオMise En Abymeの片割れでもあるCristian Naldi。本作はギター主体のソロプロジェクトで発表した4年振りの2ndアルバム。ロシアのコンポーザーDmitri Shostakovich、Arvo Partの[Fur Alina]等を含む古典的なレパートリーに、オリジナル曲、即興、アレンジまでを収録した、内省的で歪んだ美しさ際立つ7曲。アコースティック系のゲストが多く参加しています。







Rurale is the second chapter of Cristian Naldi’s solo project. Original compositions, improvisations and arrangements from the classical repertoire create a nocturnal and leaden atmosphere. Loneliness becomes living material, sensitive, for reflection and contemplation in which the guitar works for new transmutations: it becomes piano, violin or harp, it pulls away to finally disappear.
