Archetti, Luigi / Wiget, Bo – “Low Tide Digitals ” – [Rune Grammafon]

Jawbone   10/25/2006   A Library

Manipulated guitars, cellos and electronics are employed to create tiny ambient soundscapes that never fail to intrigue. Starting below the ocean waves in a submarine, where giant squid are thumping and scraping on the steel hull (stuck 1), moving above the surface to a cargo container deep in the bowels of a ship, with distant rumblings of the massive engine (stuck 2), transported onshore to a cliffside cavern full of eerie creatures and warm breezes (stuck 3), its a fascinating journey.

The first non-Norwegian artists on the Rune Grammophon label, Swiss based Luigi Archetti and Bo Wiget are multimedia composers/ musicians/ artists and two talented dudes (checkout Luigi’s amazing website at Luigiarchetti.com). Luigi is also a longtime member of legendary Krautrock band Guru Guru (who knew they were still together?).
