LUMINANCE RATIO is a collaborative effort joining sound artists Eugenio Maggi (Cría Cuervos, Slave Auction), Gianmaria Aprile (Ultraviolet Makes Me sick, Fratto9under the sky records) and Andrea Ferraris (Airchamber 3, Ur,Ulna, John Russel, Sil Muir). "Like Little Garrisons Besieged" brings them far from their respective discographies
and finds them sailing in the apparently quiet waters of free-folk, electroacoustics and minimal drones.
The music, resulting from live sessions and painstaking studio work, is meticulously thought to combine electronics with analog/traditional instruments: laptop, acoustic and electric guitars, cardiod and contact microphones,
vibraphone, melodica, glockenspiel, minidisc, rimshot and cymbals, analog synth, percussion, kaoss pad and pedal effects.
Featured on this release is Paul Bradley (Twenty Hertz, Monos, etc.)'s personal reinterpretation of their collective work, assembling an expanded "remix concrète" out of the single tracks.
Luminance Ratio's music could remotely remind of (though not necessarily inspired by) artists like Oren Ambarchi, Lawrence English, Darren Tate, Dean Roberts, Aidan Baker.
