Description:
The technical possibilities have expanded enormously in the meantime. New sampling methods allow not only self-dialog but provide the soloist with the opportunity of becoming a regular one-man vocal orchestra. And where formerly experiments of this kind could only be realized in the recording studio (with the aid of complex multitrack systems), they can now be performed live, i.e. in 'real time'! Julian Spizz makes ideal use of these possibilities. For his solo album Incipit (a Latin word referring to the beginning, the starting point of an undertaking) he recorded all of the voices himself. In concert, he is also able to realize these complexly interlocked vocal phrases, while giving the audience insight into the evolution of his music: One after the other, he superimposes layers of percussion, bass and various lines of melody, constructing a complete vocal orchestra.
In the process, Julian Spizz is able to draw from the experience he gained with Trinovox, though now far exceeding those former boundaries. He booms out a velvety doo-wop bass as the foundation for the groove, then supplies lashing surges of percussion that sound as if he was using a syndrum set, though they are merely his own voice. Melodic structures, now wild and ecstatic, now succumbing to a sensual passion for sound – an element probably no Italian would ever do without! – complete the acoustic picture.
