    Lines, wooden bodies, miniatures on the wheel, artisans. 'Tibi' is
    the soundtrack (played live without over-dub by Paolo Angeli and
    surrounded in 5.1) of Nanni Angeli's 10 year photographic
    documentation of the strange story of the Sardinian prepared Guitar.

    Once upon a time, there was a flower of fake mother of pearls...
    A world of artisans draws forms, it traces lines, it curves bends on wooden bodies, it works iron miniatures on the wheel. 'Tibi' is the hardness of the copper cut and hammered by Francesco, the memory of maple circles moulded by Luca and Giancarlo, a 'skin mark' left on the hands of so many presences... - Jack, Vesuvio, Scafo, Alberto, Stefano, Valerio - who have given life to a coral experience, it is the parting from a guitar and the birth of her twin sisters.
    'Tibi'is an emotional reading of this strange story we are here telling you.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Tibi via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Tibi’ is the soundtrack to the 10-year photographic documentation of the evolution of the prepared Sardinian guitar. The multimedia performance is based on the interaction between music and animated photography, a creative exchange between Paolo and Nanni Angeli, which finds its maximum emotional value in live performance.

Tibi is the harshness of the brass cut and hammered by Francesco, the memory of layers of acer moulded by Luca and Giancarlo, it is the line in the hands of so many persons who have give life to a choral experience; it is the farewell to a guitar and the birth of its twin sisters.

"...The Sardinian prepared guitar is a masterful display that demands to be experienced on Tibi’s accompanying DVD, on which Paolo Angeli soundtracks the instrument’s creation via still photographs taken by Nanni Angeli. The images capture the process of creation in intimate detail: the grain of the wood, the dull glint of unworked metal, the prototype components, the workshop. One particularly powerful image shows the guitar half made and exposed, trailing footpedal cables like tentacles as though it were some kind of bizarre beached hybrid of giant squid and shipwreck carcass..." An Audience with Mark Sanders

"…Paolo Angeli has enhanced mechanically a giant Sardinian guitar. Tibi’s accompanying DVD shows how the whole album was recorded live in real time, Angeli as one with the motor- driven wheels, pulleys and springs attached to the body of his instrument. The gorgeous tonal hints of Angeli’s compositions, the soaring quality of the massed buzzing strings, the percussive fusillades, the pizzicato butterfly flutters, the discreet nods towards both European folk motifs and rock-guitar noise, all aim directly for the heart and the gut. Solo adapted giant Sardinian guitar is album of the year…" Stewart Lee - The Sunday Times

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
