about

Jar’a is a surprising album in which the prepared Sardinian guitar , without any overdubs,  achieves the tonal range and sonic pressure of a post-rock ensemble. The suite in six movements brings together avant-garde and ancient traditional singing rituals, evoking wide open spaces, combining underground worlds and the most ancestral Sardinia. Jar’a is a concept album, with three-dimensional sound,  in which Paolo Angeli expresses an innovative contemporary language, inlaying it with fragile, emotive vocals.

Torro a pìlu ‘e abba
ràffigas mai domadas
in isbùlfida cumpro s’apnèa
e a s’ammentu ‘e s’àligas ch’intrìgo
a fèdu postu in ‘sa Jara’

Ritorno in superfice
raffiche mai domate
in un soffio completo l'apnea
e affido alla memoria delle alghe
posizioni fetali nella Giara

Paolo plays with Dogal Strings and 6Appeal Spicetone distortion.
Thanks to Gigi and Maria Vittoria, my family, Giorgia Nicoli, Gianni Ginesi, Azzurra Fragale, Francesco della Mora, Estrella, Bellino (telepathy), Bobboio, Asfodelo Asfo, Robby and Anna, Alberto, Bosco, Bachis, Pierluigi, Piermario ‘Succo alla Pera’ and Debbie (credits translation), Lanci, Nanni, Marti Jane. Special thanks to Crisa for the wonderful portrait on the cover and Omar Bandinu for his amazing vocal contributions.
It’s been great to record Jar'a in organic balance with soul-food cooking at home. Most of all it’s been fantastic to complete the album in Sardinia, in front of the sea in the windy La Maddalena’s archipelago, surrounded by archeological monuments and wild animals in la Giara di Serri and Gesturi. Sùlu is dedicated to Antonio Are.
With love to Emanuela 'vis a vis' the creative process and our discoveries ‘in sa Jara' (la Giara).

about

Paolo Angeli

Whatever you want to call it, nobody else is doing it quite like this. Paolo Angeli, the Sardinian sorcerer, manually magics beautiful, multi-layered music from his unique prepared guitar: a hybrid orchestra of an instrument with strings going in all directions, foot-pedal-controlled motorised propellers and hammers to create shimmering drones and bass-lines as he bows, strikes, plucks and strums ... more
