Femina Faber - Amplexum Mentis (CD)

AMPLEXUM MENTIS - UT COSMO CONCORDENT VOCES- is the second album by FEMINA FABER a.k.a. Paola Bianchi, member of the band Ludmila for many years now and with a plethora of collaborations to her credit both within the experimental music scene and the "cultured" music milieu focused on Gregorian chant retrieval.

AMPLEXUM MENTIS (which means "mental embrace" in Latin) style is more cohesive and features a sound possibly reminiscent of German cosmic music, Lassigue Bendthaus-like digital nervatures and rustling drums à la Portishead and the voice as the gravitational kernel: as in cosmos every single particle is attracted and pushed away from a planet, so is every single instrument/sound/pulse in these tracks at times more adherent or more distant from the vocal line, immersed in (and never merely juxtaposed to) an electronic and electro-acoustic pointillistic flow getting constantly thicker or thinner according to the lyrics.
