The anticipation was totally unique. It wasn't like the butterflies one gets before a new episode of Breaking Bad. Hell, it wasn't even akin to the premiere of a show like The Event of Flash Forward, where you're pretty sure it's going to be bad but you want to enjoy the trainwreck anyway. Last night's [...]
Things I learned this weekend: Apparently it's grounds for an ass-kicking when you're black-out drunk at a bar and you tell a girl her boyfriend is "limp dicked" and ask her if you can "put a little baby in your tum tum." Good thing I was in a large group of people who would have [...]

Het Walhalla voor de muziekliefhebber wiens experimenteerdrift geen grenzen kent. Dat zal de omschrijving van het jaarlijks terugkerende Kraak festival wel niet helemaal dekken, maar het komt aardig in de buurt. Over een kleine twee weken vind de inmiddels alweer elfde editie plaats in Recyclart te Brussel. Dat op deze plek geen nieuwe Marco Borsatan , Krezkut of andere artiesten van lik-me-vessie worden ontdekt, mogen duidelijk zijn. Hier komen niet alleen de ondergrondse crème de la crème van de experimentele muziek, maar ook stokoude pioniers die de pluimen allang hebben verdiend. We praten [...]
Valerio Cosi - Harmonia Raag Ma delectez de cateva zile cu albumul "Collected Works", opera free, psychedelic,space,post-punk,ja zz (sunt in atat de multe feluri! cu influente de la Pharoah Sanders si John Coltrane la Can sau Sonic Youth) a prodigiosului saxofonist italian Valerio Cosi(la abia 23 de ani are 40 de titluri/colaborari). Nu pot sa spun ca n-am mai ascultat ceva pe aceeasi idee dar nu e cu siguranta un space-jazz revival(mai degraba un revival a dodecafoniei) pentru ca muzica e cu siguranta din acest moment . Sunetul e atat de liber incat [...]

So we mentioned a few weeks ago one of Cosi's new albums that popped up on Digitalis, and hinted at the fact that Porter Records was compiling a collection of some of his out of print works. Well said collection is turning out to be one of the more essential releases of the year. Spanning most of his short recording career and with an emphasis on his solo work, the disc is a great recap for those who missed out on a lot of these limited releases in their original forms. Cosi plays every instrument on these pieces, ranging from [...]
Anyone thinking that the Norwegians have the jazz/electronics crossover market cornered obviously isn't aware of the work of Valerio Cosi, whose output on his own probably matches that of the entire country. The Italian's discography lists him as having released or appeared on eight albums so far this year, with as many still to [...]

At only 22, Valerio Cosi has a catalog and collaborative track record that would make most older musicians blush. With well over 40 releases in his catalog already the kid is nothing if not seasoned at this point. He's shared releases with luminaries such as Fabio Orsi, Uton, The North Sea, Heavy Winged and Ashtray Navigations. The future doesn't look to be slowing down a bit for the saxophonist and this release on Digitalis sees him pull away a bit from his more free jazz leaning past, though its certainly not as "rock" as the album's Heavy Electronic Pacific [...]

valerio cosi over the moonpalace 2007 (française version) Le comité spirituel ? Sur l'image, au recto de la pochette, on dirait une assemblée de fantômes réunis pour l'éternité, otages du Temps. Mon reflet, captif dans sa glace, ignore la mesure de ce temps qui , pourtant, s'abat sur lui autant que sur moi. Ignorer le temps, est ce se donner l'éternité ? (englikhtonian [...]
