1 / 4″ – XLR is a slow burn sound pastiche symphony. This cassette by Jack Cannon starts with silent white noise, a question about a monster, some radio static and then the rhythms begin. This project from Italian musician, Bruno Dorella (whose work with OvO, Ronin, RLLRBLL, Bachi Da Pietra, Sigillum S, Tiresia, and GDG Modern Trio has stretched across Europe, Asia, and North America), takes all the influences of drone, classical, deep rhythms, cut / past sampling and deftly makes a piece of music that builds from simple spoken samples to catchy hard rocks extremes. Movements that swell and subside, clean breaks of acoustic guitar, Italian electro punk, and hip hop.
