claudio rocchetti: inside the body of sound
The work of Claudio Rocchetti is a deep plunge into thick sound, investigating its innermost workings. Using a variety of devices such as turntables, audio cassettes, samplers, radios, and microphones, often incorporating other objects and traditional instruments, Berlin-based Rocchetti builds compelling structures that employ sound as sheer matter, mass, and impact. “I have a very direct approach to sound, trying to act on instruments and devices,” he says.
The tarry, mesmerizing hues that characterize his “music objects” are grounded in layers of sound detritus, as in his 2003 solo albums, The Work Called Kitano, on Bar La Muerte, and But Speak Fair Words, on S’Agita. The pieces on these CDs are never self-contained: they function as open plateaux on which various solutions coexist as part of a sound continuum that stretches in time. “I proceed by hints—I love the unfinished. This doesn’t mean that my music is aphoristic: I try to reach the essential by summing up all the visions I get. Segments from the past appear and want to be recorded. My background mixes up. That’s why I face various elements within one piece.” Burned, for example, a piece from Kitano, employs a sample from a Mendelssohn-Bartholdy vinyl, rotated by hand, against small percussive effects and abstract noises from skipping CDs, overlapped by piercing rhythms.
