Giacinto Scelsi - Giacinto Scelsi
Review by John Chester
The album Giacinto Scelsi by Giacinto Scelsi is a remarkable compilation of the Italian composer's avant-garde works. The album features some of Scelsi's most well-known pieces, including "Anahit," "Uaxuctum," and "Quattro Illustrazioni."
The album's minimalist and experimental soundscapes are a testament to Scelsi's unique musical style, which was heavily influenced by Eastern philosophy and mysticism. The album's use of unconventional instruments, such as the gong and the Indian sitar, adds to the ethereal and otherworldly feel of the music.

About Giacinto Scelsi
Born 8th January 1905 in La Spezia, died 9th August 1988 in Rome, Scelsi was an Italian composer who also wrote surrealist poetry in French. He is best known for writing music based around only one pitch, altered in all manners through microtonal oscillations, harmonic allusions, and changes in timbre and dynamics, but has gone through four different creative periods. His musical output remained largely undiscovered even within contemporary musical circles during most of his life, until a series of concerts in the mid to late 1980s finally premiered many of his pieces to great acclaim. He has then been noted as a visionary of many avantgarde ideas that only later became known through the works of other composers.
