Review

“Sabatini investigates the subtle interplay between improvisation and chance.”

With the album by Mirko Sabatini we stay more close to what you might expect from a drummer who plays improvised music. Sabatini, born in Winterthur (Switzerland) in 1967, is a self-taught drummer who has been playing since 1984. in 1991 he also started to be interested in visual arts. he moved to Bologna (Italy) to work with professional musicians active on the scene of free improvisation music and he is a founder member of the association Bassesfere. Bassesfere promotes improvised music by organizing concerts, special events and radio programs. He plays the drums in several italian groups. His hometown Bologna is also the city of the famous Angelica-festival, a yearly happening of improvised music. Sabatini played several times here and the festival was a good starting point for operating on a international level as well. in 1998 he moved to Montréal (Canada) to work for a year. It is here that Sabatini recorded his (first) solo album. 18 pieces for drums, motors, plates, springs and rubber bands recorded in 5 days at the beginning of 1999. The album is completely different from that of Tanguay. This is definitely more of improvised music: “quite often things are born by chance, by a series of accidents that, although casual in their essence, are driven by an unconscious will and determiniation towards a more or less precise direction. that is how this solo project was born, and how it moves and behaves. ” Sabatini investigates the subtle interplay between improvisation and chance. Of interest for those who are into drums.
