Francesco Tristano's "Auricle Bio On," released in 2008 under the InFiné label, is a captivating exploration of neoclassical and electronic music, blending the boundaries between classical piano and minimal techno. This album features two extended tracks, "Auricle Bio On 1" and "Auricle Bio On 2," each spanning over 20 minutes, creating an immersive soundscape that showcases Tristano's innovative approach to music.
Collaborating with Moritz von Oswald, a renowned figure in minimal dub techno, Tristano crafts a unique sonic experience. The album is notable for its abstract and experimental nature, as Tristano treats the grand piano as a sampler, cutting and manipulating recordings to create intricate soundscapes. The result is a mesmerizing blend of classical elegance and electronic experimentation, making "Auricle Bio On" a standout work in Tristano's discography.
The album's production is further enriched by von Oswald's mastering and "enchantment," adding depth and texture to the tracks. With its extended compositions and innovative techniques, "Auricle Bio On" offers a rich listening experience that highlights Francesco Tristano's versatility and creativity as an artist.
