Molti sono i punti a favore de Mathias Delplanque all’analisi ravvicinata del sua nuovo album “Passeportsâ€. Innanzittuo l’autore francese appare assai abile nella documentazione e nell’elaborazione dei materiali che costituiscono la struttura portante per i sette segmenti dell’album (si tratta di registrazioni sul campo relative all’ambito del trasporto: stazioni, porti, parcheggi e altre zone di …

Völlig abstrakte Tracks wechseln sich dabei …
