Title Description:
Free Pulse is an accurate name for this undertaking from Italian experimentalists Sinistri. It encapsulates much of the character of their free form recordings. Coming across with a spacious improvised aesthetic, the group maintains a loose mode of operation, swinging in and out of time and generating a loose pulse like motion, coloured by the occasional burst of processed audio. These movements and interactions between the live instruments and the processing become increasingly complex in phases of this record. Pre-Verb Fried Funk for instance, which seems to be inspired by funk, but never touches on it (rather just skates around the outer edge of the genres sonic qualities), sees the instruments housed in a spinning stereo filtered pulse. Ampitone again explores this idea, linking the drums to some laptop processing, the resulting interplay creating an abstract flow in which guitar and voice then layer into. Its not the most powerful improvised encounter you might come across, but still a strong investigation of interactions between computer and instrument.

Sinistri:
Sinistri, formerly known as Starfuckers, is an experimental music unit based in Italy. Starting from an original, raw, minimal and high power approach to the rock language, they soon developed a personal direction exploring the space between proto-punk, black roots and contemporary classical music. Sinistri is a trio who uses electric, electronic and acoustic instruments, operating under the principles of intuitive music, exploiting asyncrony and non-metrical rhythms. Sinistri's music comes out from an evolving process and appears like a steady aperiodic pulsation which filters, through a minimal rock perspective, archetypal prototypes and elements from jazz, funk, blues, concrete and electro-acoustic music.
