badalchemy[de] 28:50 ist die Spieldauer, verantwortlich zeichnet Patrizio Orsini aus Livorno. Der Italiener mixt trockene, eckige Beatz, aber im zweiten Anlauf auch Clicks + Cuts, die in der Nässe leicht glitschig geworden sind, mit ganz kurzen Vokalsamples. Weniger opulent als die seiner Landsleute von Ulna, haben seine Frakturen doch auch etwas Hypnotisches, ob er nun in Gummistiefeln dahin sappt, oder zu summendem Drone auf chitinstarren Insektenstelzen stakst und steptanzt. So, mit einem rhythmischen IQ oberhalb der geistigen Armutsgrenze, lasse ich mich auf den technoiden zeitgeist ein, auf seine nervösen tics, sein unermüdliches Weitermachenkönnen. Der schlaff dongende Loop von ,boat in my mind´, das träge Tempo, der eintönig piepsende Käfigvogel, lassen jedoch auch auf eskapistische Hintergedanken schließen, die Füßchen zappeln zwar wieder pro forma, aber der Kopf ist nicht bei der Sache, der Blick schweift träumerisch. Bleibt noch ,goodnight cleveland`, vordergründig temporeich, aber nur als dürres Sirren, der Beat ein Blindenstock. Und gerade so findet Poratz eine kleine Orgelmelodie, simpel nur, kindersimpel sogar, allzumenschlich, aber doch menschlich.[ba 60 rbd] www.badalchemy.de cuemix magazine[de] 28:50 is the new album from Patrizio Orsini aka "poratz". Born in Livorno Italy Patrizio played guitar before he became a Dj. Later he get interested in experimental and loop music performed by artists like Prefuse 73 or Schneider TM. Now with the release of "28:50" are invited to an unusual trip. Poratz is a talented genius; let me state this right from the start, its absolute amazing how he combines his music to a big picture with a million hidden treasures. With each look on this picture the changes and tells a new story. Magic! 28:50 combines experimental loops and high frequency sounds together with laid-back melodies, melancholic and dreamy soundscapes and hidden dance sounds like on the fantastic "boat in my mind". This Album is rich! Rich of sounds, feelings and ideas, a musical kaleidoscope created by an artist who lives his music. Six beautiful and unique tracks take you on an unforgettable yourney lasting for 28:50 minutes... or for a lifetime? Perfect 10+ www.cuemix-magazine.com/cuemix/inhalt.php?image=919 barcode[uk] Italian-born DJ, Patrizio Orsini, reaches out with what appears to be his debut release. 28.50, the title of the album and length of the record, starts off with panache as a cacophony of spliced samples are woven together to create a dry yet involving slice of instrumental IDM. The clunky 01 follows a simialar trajectory, this time lobbing cut-up vocal frames into the mix as a relentless beat thuds away in the background. The best track is probably 11, because it contains the antidote to what most of 28.50 is missing, atmosphere. Its dark, grainy ambience offset by slimline cascading drum sounds amidst flickering crackles. Brooding stuff. The programming is inventive, meticulously interlaced throughout, and likely to appeal to IDM purists. However, those looking for something more emotionally involving will probably wilt before the end, as Poratz`s dehydrated sound lacks the oxygen of sentiment and becomes depreciatingly repetitive after a while. www.barcodezine.com/revporatz2850241008.htm ultrasonica[it] Qualche mesetto fa ho recensito per Ultrasonica la primissima uscita di questa neonata etichetta tedesca che tende la mano alla musica sperimentale non disdegnando le micro fratture sincopate della minimal più minimal, ed è un piacere vedere che la seconda uscita in ordine di tempo (ma prima nelle produkt- series) cade su un artista italiano. Patrizio Orsini, in arte Poratz già DJ residente al 'The Cage Club' di Firenze ci regala 28' e 50” di graffianti micro granuli messi in griglia perfettamente ritmici e allo stesso tempo casuali, ricorda un primo Herbert per come gioca con le schegge vocali, ma le sue influenze sono di tutt'altro tipo, da Prefuse 73 a Pulseprogramming da Kpt Michigan a Schneider tm. Insomma se tra i vostri dischi vi ritrovate almeno uno degli artisti sopracitati, non fatevi scappare questa perla di reverberi e noise tutta italiana. www.ultrasonica.it/site/modules/recensioni... vitalweekly[nl] Behind Poratz we find one Patrizio Orsini, who used to be a a guitar player, but then discovered that playing electronic music is much nicer. Its only in this year that he started to play electronic music as Poratz. Rhythm is what everything is all about in the six pieces that he now releases in the 'Produkt Series', the digital imprint of the Electroton label. Built from clicks, hiss, pop, crack and snap, this is all quite familiar ground for those who learned about the click 'n cut movement about say a decade ago. Frank Bretschneider seems one very obvious influence here, but I must say that Poratz plays his pieces quite nice. The element of dance is always present in these pieces, his production is flawless and 'Goodnight Cleveland' has a nice, twinkling evil melodic touch it. That is the best track of here. Maybe it could use a bit more of his own, but its a nice start. www.vitalweekly.net/642.html
