NY在住のラジオDJ Veronica Vasicka(ヴェロニカ・ヴァシカ)主宰の無名シンセウェイヴ/ポストパンク発掘レーベルMinimal Waveから2010年にリリースされたコンピレーション盤「The Art Dance」が記憶に新しい、ヴェネツィアを拠点とするニューウェイヴ・グループRuins(ルインズ)。本作「Spettri」は、ミュージック・ビデオ/映像表現を多用しマルチメディアな活動を展開した同グループの核となるメンバーであり、鍵盤担当のAlessandro Pizzin(アレッサンドロ・ピジン)によるソロ初作。#1-7はクアドラフォニック/4チャンネルのサウンドと、7つのモニターによる光の相互作用を試みた1989年のパフォーマンス「SPETTRI (Ghosts) 」のためのトラック。#8は1992年のスタジオ・ライヴ。#9-12は「TUNING WORLD」プロジェクトの一環として、1989年に聖フランチェスコ教会内で行われたイベントでのレコーディング、という風に、80年代後期から90年代初期にかけての活動がまとめられた作品となっています。リリース元のExploraは、Alessandro PizzinとRoberto Scarpa(ロベルト・スカルパ)の各ソロ作とコラボレーション作品をリリースしていますが、おそらくPizzin自身が運営したレーベル/スタジオ/ラボ(Explora Noise Lab)であり、1993年には第2作「Shin-On(真音)」を発表しています。
シンセ・ウェイヴの延長線上にあるようなサウンドを中心に、電子空間での儀式/舞踏を思わせる実験的なニューエッジ・アンビエンス(Ruinsでもアンビエント色の濃い作品を残している)から、Gigi Masin(ジジ・マシン)やAlessandro Monti(アレッサンドロ・モンティ: aka Unfolk)とのプロジェクトWIND pjtに通じるサウンド。特に後者に聴かれるシンセは、彼がWIND pjtのメランコリックなサウンドの一端を担っていたのだと気づかされます。
YoutubeアカウントTheAlienodeBootesではソロ作のためのビデオ・クリップ、RuinsやWIND pjtの秘蔵ライヴ映像を公開。
追記:「Shin-On」CDは廃盤、「Spettri」CDは今も本人から購入できるそうです。

If you don't have time to really listen, please do not buy this record. If your mind is not ready to unwind, please do not buy this record. If you are looking for the next big track to play at your cool party, if you are worried about keeping "real" or staying "raw" or about your image as a purist and regurgitating the essence of eras past, please do not buy this record. However… if you find yourself taking for granted all the natural beauty that surrounds you, caught up in trivial occurrences that interfere with your daily happiness, letting social constructs shape your mood… then please do buy this record, sit down, focus on what is right there in your hands, turn to your loved one, breathe deeply, enjoy the light in the room, savor your food perhaps, and simply appreciate all that is happening in this particular moment... levitate in awe as you enter the Land of Light, a new work by Jonny Nash and Kyle Martin. - ESP Institute

In 1985, after the split up of the political unit 'White Hospital', Tomo Kuwabara started up the unit Vasilisk with Yukio Nagoshi (percussions/guitars) and Chiaki (percussions). They made a first album called 'Whirling Dervishes' in 1987, released through Eskimo, which was the label established by Yun 'Grim' Konagaya. In this album they played several and unusual instruments: African skin-drums, African flute, Tibetan percussions, Ancestor's voices. In 1988 they made a second album called 'Mkwaju' with the same line-up and also released by Eskimo. Just after the release of this album, Tomo and Yukio joined Rose Mcdowall's new project Candy Cain. They toured through Japan during most of 1988. Around that time, Luciano Dari invited them to release their next album on his label Musica Maxima Magnetica. After the collaboration with the Rose's project in 1989, they started to record their third album 'Acqua' in London and Naples (Italy) with the same three members. 'Acqua' was released at the end of the same year by Musica Maxima Magnetica. After they came back from Europe, they started to compile and remix their previous material from the three albums in order to release their most intensive tracks on their debut CD release, entitled 'Liberation and Ecstasy'. After that they went into a long silence of 5 years. Tomo traveled around Asian countries for nearly 2 years starting in 1991, in order to search his identity as an Asian.... Most people knowing and expecting a lot from this unique band, were thinking they had stopped all activities, but that was not true! In fact during this time they had recorded two (still) unreleased albums. The first unreleased one was recorded in 1993 and it was called 'Tongue'. At that time the line up was changed as Yayoi (voice), Hidero (guitars) and Tomo (percussions). In 1994 they went to Moscow in order to make their own documentary program on TV and join the Contemporary Music and Art Festival. In 1995 they made a second unreleased album, recorded in Tokyo. Unfortunately they decided not to release these 2 albums as they thought the sound was odd and incomplete. They went further in song-oriented direction including a female vocalist...but they felt that direction was inappropriate for them, because of the lyrics; whereas most artists are using lyrics to express their policy, they felt the lyrics were a constraint, since they tend to define the image of music and imagination of listeners. After those chaos years, Tomo met Tsuyoshi (keyboard) and they started as Vasilisk to create a new sound with another method of musical expression. They were admiring the techno-sound with strong rhythm to create a state of trance like ancient shamans....full of united groove. So they choose the psychedelic trance sound which stimulates their brain directly without any words. - Discogs: Vasilisk
