NINSHUBAR

Italian artist Alessio RICCIO has a recording history as a solo artist that dates back to 2000, and in a few hectic years he released six full-length albums, the most recent of these in 2003. Following a ten year break Riccio returned as a recording solo artist in 2013 with "Ninshubar: From the Above to the Below", and as was the case with his previous productions as well, this CD was released through his own label Unorthodox Recordings.

That Alessio Riccio has chosen to name his label Unorthodox Recordings appears to be fairly natural, at least when you explore his 2013 album "Ninshubar. From the Above to the Below". More than an hour's worth of electroacoustic music in the borderlands between rock and electronic, that appears to have been crafted with the musique concrete ideology in mind. A challenging production of challenging music, and one recommended to those who tends to find music described in such a manner to be interesting. Besides that I kind of suspect that those with a taste for experimental and free-form jazz might possibly find this CD to be an alluring experience.
