Sei Note in Logica

Released

One of the masterpieces of Italian minimalism – and there are more than a few of those – Sei Note In Logica is Cacciapaglia’s most enduring composition, much as his later Ann Steel Album is his key contribution to pop song. Here, he’s learned the best lessons from the likes of Steve Reich, as you’d expect, and the resulting thirty-minute piece makes simplicity lush, with the gentle interweaving of patterns for four voices and orchestral ensemble (strings, woodwinds, marimba etc.) beautifully managed. The delirious interjections from electronics, often when least expected, add to the glorious confusion. What’s most convincing about Sei Note In Logica is the effortless with which it transcends its structural constraints; this makes it a key composition, not just in Italian minimalism, but the history of minimalism in general.
