[LBN006] Neeva – “E non sai quanto ci penso” (November 20, 2010)


keeping the time, five years, an artichoke a year:

“a fame had a wall clock, and each week he wound it VERY VERY CAREFULLY.

A cronopio passed and noting this, he began to laugh, and went home and invented an artichoke clock,

or rather a wild-artichoke clock, for it can and ought to be called both ways.

This cronopio’s wild-artichoke clock is a good artichoke of the larger species,

fastened by its stem to a hole in the wall.

Its innumerable leaves indicate what hour it is, all the hours in fact,

in such a way that the cronopio has only to pluck a leaf to know what time it is.

So he continues plucking them from left to right, always the leaf corresponds to that particular hour,

and every day the cronopio begins pulling off a new layer of leaves.

When he reaches the center, time cannot be measured, and in the infinite violet-rose

of the artichoke heart the cronopio finds great contentment.

Then he eats it with oil, vinegar, and salt and puts another clock in the hole.”

(Julio Cortázar)

REVIEWS

 

Kathodik  Diversi i momenti memorabili, come il breakdown di tastiera a metà di E allora si ritorna a casa, che rimanda il pensiero a quei vecchi pomeriggi trascorsi davanti agli home computer degli anni ottanta. / The Breakfast Jumpers –  “Questo disco è bellissimo  e racchiude sette tracce da farsi cascare la mandibola. Elettronica di prim’ordine. Con varie sfumature.” / Rockerilla N° 365 – “Neeva ha la capacità, un tempo cara a dj Ombra, di trasfigurare il suono e creare atmosfere in bilico tra il reale e l’onirico, sempre sul filo di una danza metropolitana e notturna.” / NetMusic Life – “Abile manipolatore ed esploratore della materia sonora elettronica, Neeva ci fa atterrare verso atmosfere dark-hip-hop e atmosfere dance-hip-hop anni 90..” / Netlabels Revue  – “…un disque d’abstract hip hop, downtempo, bien sympa, tranquillou, ludique et très facile d’accès, qui fait la part belle aux breakbeats et aux sonorités abstraites venues de toutes parts.”
