SPANNUNG REVIEWS <<...With this third effort she pushes her research even further, finding that unique dimension that a voice like hers deserves to have. A large amount of material (over three hours) to make it difficult to fully examine the contents in the space of a normal review .. >> Thanks to Roberto Alessandro Filippozzi on Darkroom-magazine.it Full text (Italian): http: //www.darkroom -magazine.it/ita/108/Recensione.php?r=3577

 

 

 

JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2016

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SPANNUNG REVIEWS << "Spannung" is a box set that has been through seven years of 'gestation', and which includes three discs, one red, the color of the cover and the booklet (and 'red' is also the image of the artist which transpire from the beautiful photos), one blue and the last black. In the cd I, the voice of Romina Daniele, her compositions and her electronics. In the second, with the same grade of poetics and language, the vocal path continues, but with more interlocutions (...) The architecture of "Spannung" is solid, well thought out, precisely 'monolithic'. (...) Then in the first two CDs there are some known places, let's say some 'street indicators', to use a Francophone language: Gershwin, Bessie Smith, Frank Sinatra, some traditional. These tracks are like a bank to not freak out: that is the art of permutation, of recreating, of doing what one wants of the known, without betraying it, innovating it as well. This means memory (...) The greatness of this musician, who is not just a musician, stands in her ability to propose both a compositional action and a bold vocal gesture, she takes challenges, she dares and explores almost virgin lands like very few others did (and I think to Demetrio Stratos of course: I believe Romina is one of the very few living artists who can use the voice like Demetrio did), and at the same time she has a very solid aesthetic and philosophical approach (...) The thought of Romina Daniele, which gives this extraordinary strength to her music, is about searching for the authentic, the starting and closing point, where the other is found in "being together thrown into the world". It is another bank, another chance of the authentic. For this reason, I like to conclude with her words: "Voice stakes everything, at higher grades of expotion, in front of the structures of construct. And voice is man here. Being-together the enigma we take care of at the edge of the struggle as well, and the limit is not where one thing is ending, indeed is where everything begins its essence". >> Thanks to Girolamo De Simone on Masseriadeisuoni.org Full text (Italian): http://masseriadeisuoni.org/web/recensioni

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SPANNUNG REVIEWS << RominaDaniele is a portento, an artist who could hardly think to relax on what is not new and already seen and felt. Been there, done that. "Spannung" has a key that opens more doors (inside and outside) and gives life to new sounds. Theoretical path, balance and sense of dering, stability and an attitude that has as its final goal the high profile. "Spannung" is a all three (perfect number ?, triple cd, three hours of music) that requires attention and more listenings. It is not the usual routine, because it emanates underground poetry and to catch and taste it is on the listener. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the centrifugal re-readings of "Summertime" (George Gershwin), "Sycamore Trees" (Angelo Badalamenti & David Lynch), "Special Delivery Blues" (Odetta Holmes). It is impossible not to be moved before the multiple approaches of "Daisen" and the six minutes of "The absent nature". Bluesin’ heart, "scientific" electronics, a voice that is a complete and original songbook. Stunning (...) >> Thanks to Massimo Pirotta on Vorrei.org, February 1st 2016.

SPANNUNG REVIEWS <<We received from Milan the work as latest musical efforts of the most articulate and extraordinarily lyrical voice, as well as technical, born in the shadow of the Vesuvius, here she is Romina Daniele. (...) between the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, Romina has published two works: Spannung (monumental triple cds solo work) and Absence (by Sheen, a project in collaboration with Lorenzo Marranini).Spannung (German term for "tension") is her third solo album, a triple audio cd between voice and electronics, textuality and improvisation, solo recordings and with the band, extended vocals and blues.(...) Absence is conceived and developed by the collaboration between Romina and Lorenzo Marranini (co-founder of the RDM Records). We are going to say nothing more about, you should get these works:: such records are so rare in Italy as they show how possible to do truly artistic research is. Romina Daniele carries on a research which can right away be defined technically solid, critically complex, philosophically profound and, above all, so far emotionally heartbreaking and with a strong, we can say magmatic, inspiration. >> Thanks to Vincenzo Notaro on Saperincampania.it January 25th 2016 .Full text (Italian): http://www.saperincampania.it/doppia-tripla-quadrupla-uscita-per-romina-daniele/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SPANNUNG REVIEWS << Starting the 2016 with the amazing voice of Romina Daniele (...) Spannung is a refined work (...) the singer shows even more her mastery (...) a condensation of emotions (... ) full of atmosphere (...) pure and full-blooded blues (...) vocal interpretations which everyone should start to know (...) an even more fascinating experiment of sound investigation (...) produced in a superlative way, orchestrated between electronics and classicism, arranged with an abudance of details. She composes, sings, arranges and works in the complicated universe of experimental music with a surprising naturalness. Spannung is an album that should not miss in the collection of anyone who loves contemporary experimentation, in particular the voice and its multiple expressive possibilities. And Romina Daniele is a seductive, fascinating and masterful interpreter of the thousand possibilities of the human vocal cords. >> Thanks to Giovanni Rossi on Indrustrial Revolution January 1st 2016.

ROMINA DANIELE SU ONE TV

On  Thursday, December 12, 2013 Romina Daniele appeared on One Tv (DTT Channel 112) Kalliope show hosted by Marco Ciapparelli.

The talk was about the origins of the band with which Romina has paid homage to the greatest rhythm and blues women over the last year, and the close connection between discography and the experiences gained in the different fields to date.

The musicians who accompanied Romina for some live shows in November 2013 were in the studio as well. At the moment, the selection of some band members is still ongoing.

«... that Blues is at the center as feeling and intention - this is the message - but in a variety of styles that will allow us to cross - within the limits of our ability - the twentieth century, from Swing to Fusion..». Romina Daniele on One Tv (DTT Channel 112) Thursday, December 12, 2013 - See the full show )

Romina Daniele Band (picture taken at Vinile - Milano, November 20, 2013)
«I speak with Romina Daniele, she tells me that this is a vocal research started in 2005, along with experimental music and Electronics. The blues is the birth, is the starting point. For Sure, Etta James, Koko Taylor and then Janis Joplin. She wrote a book about Miles Davis and one about Luciano Berio. Her voice is unique of its kind, beautiful. The quintessence of a successful contamination».(M. Cortesi on "DubbioMetodico" November 25, 2013 - read the full article).

ABSENCE I - THE SINGLE

WILL BE AVAILABLE ON 24TH NOVEMBER 2011

on i-Tunes and other digital stores (Amazon, Rhapsody, Emusic and many more).

 

ABSENCE is Sheen debut album, a project conceived by Lorenzo Marranini and developed in cooperation and participation with Romina Daniele, based on the mixture of different genres and on the indifferentiation, in an experimental key.

Deep and contrasting electronic sound environments, the result of an intense and laborious research on sound, relate to the moods of Lorenzo Marranini long musical experience, to combine with the avant-garde vocal and textual interventions by Romina Daniele.

The work is made and developed in the fundamental area of existential-philosophic conception and hence the title - Absence (No I) - and the structure of the album in which each composition corresponds to different moments of the concept and are numbered according to this. From the title of a poem by Romina Daniele - Assenza (o soglia del mio dolore) [Absence (or threshold of my pain)] - the concept behind the work is thus announced in Part I (or Intro) which now is the single titled Absence I.

SPANNUNG PERFORMANCE PRESS RELEASE

Sunday, July 24th, within an event patronized by Centro Musica Contermporanea and in collaboration with Arci, Romina Daniele (winner of the international Demetrio Stratos Award for vocal research in 2005 and 2007 and Arci Award for experimental music in 2011) is performing at Carroponte, a big stage in the Milan area.

Romina Daniele during this show is going to present some compositions contained in "Spannung",  her new compositional project released by Edizioni RDM.
"Spannung" draws its title from the term used by philosopher Martin Heidegger to indicate the tension of being.

Along with the studies carried on for more than ten years, on the one hand music with new technologies is elected as a resarch means on man, on the other hand voice is the most powerful and direct means of human expression.

This resarch path starts with "Diffrazioni Sonore" (2005), a complex recording project focused on the relationship between vocal improvisation and sound composition set through technologic tools. Then it goes on with "Aisthànomai", The Tragedy of  Consciousness, (2008) that delves into relationships between poetry and studio sound composition. In the end it comes to a formal and unpublished performance, "Spannung".

Reference to genre, from blues to contemporary music, takes place in a ground which is focused on research on sound and sound composition, both in vocals and electronic music.

Romina Daniele Interviewed by Rick Moody for the Rumpus Magazine

 

<<Recently, I’ve been digging again through the wilds of the CD Baby site, where no print run is too small and no approach to music is too individual, and in this regard I have found a lot of great work recently, some of which I will deal with here soon, but none of it more interesting than an Italian exponent of extended vocal technique named Romina Daniele.

Daniele was born in Naples, but these days lives in Milan, where, I imagine, the climate for experimental singing is more receptive. The recording I happened on, entirely by chance, was her first, Diffrazioni Sonore (2005), which consists entirely of multi-tracked, and often entirely improvised vocal music, some of it treated digitally (radical EQ, echo, and a little reverb), but otherwise left well enough alone. Daniele’s approach has somewhat to do with the great exemplars of this sort of “vocality” (of whom more below), but it is also wholly singular in that the singer has never studied composition, and seems to come more from the wilds of literature, and particularly from the wilds of European philosophy, than from any rigorous background in music....>>

“Wait, talenti e avanguardie creative”, n. 24 December/January 2008 (review by E. Mauro):

<< It is always a risk to first listen and then talk about a record by Romina Daniele; we do not have to underestimate a complex and articulated work representing an important, fundamental part of life [...] It is like going down to Ade searching our lover and then turning back just before the last step. It is like going down to the Sibilla Cumana cave [...] >>

Corsica magazine, October 2008 by A. Michelucci:

<< [...] Romina Daniele (...) is among the most interesting independent new artists of the Italian music scene. She uses the voice like an instrument and this projects her in a field of rarity (...) Aisthànomai (2008, indipendent) (...) has gained a good attention from the press. Two years ago, the musician put the first brick of her sonorous and conceptual building with Diffrazioni Sonore (2005, indipendent).
Aisthànomai continues on that way, clarifying the contents and the focuses.

It is not just a record, but a complex work in which sound, theory and poetry are interlaced (...) The extreme particularity of the vocal approach is coupled with long texts, and the vocal and poetic researches are married.

The record doesn’t fall “in to the false waters of anti conformism”, as we can read in the booklet. Romina Daniele refuses to be defined like an avant-garde artist, because she thinks this expression is empty and abused.

Her research is directed to the origin of the sound, not to a hypothetical future. The booklet contains a long text in which Romina expresses her musical and philosophical considerations [...] >>

<<As if the plastic of the voice would be shaped here in a new aesthetics (…) Her semantic and musical research is personal and sometimes heartbreaking too. Voice and electronics trying to define a meaning for this particular aesthetic and etymological project which draws equations between sensation, perception, art and representation of pain.>>

Simone Broglia (Mescalina.it) writes about Aisthànomai, Il Dramma della Coscienza (cd, 2007): <<is one of those albums which we are always less used to (…) concentrating on the sound, it is a work about frequencies, often about very low frequency sound waves (…) The voice is the main theme of the entire album, not an instrument, but a way to create synonyms; the voice is the presence of the artist herself (...) divided and re-composed, separated in frequencies which are able to dilate, lay, smooth over and strengthen themselves (...) Romina Daniele is presenting a work that leave the listener satisfied for the opportunity to appreciate an experimental work and a research about sounds, dynamics, vocal timber, theatre, poetry, aesthetics, body.>>

Review by Massimo Salari (Rock Impressions): << [...] we can listen electronics on which the singer express herself completely, her voice going beyond, above its structural logics which we have always been used to in our music listening. Intensity, weirdness and theatrical atmospheres together in a reticular way. As the artist says: ‘Aisthànomai involves sound diffractions and introduces text diffractions (whereas the text commonly intended is the symbol of the omniscience I want to unhinge) and digital diffractions…’  [...] >>

<< [...] Because she is not simply an artist recording albums…we are in front of a soul which creates, modifies, destroyes and creates something new. We are very far from the common ‘album’ concept and we are very close to the classical concept of ‘Art’, take it or leave it. [...] >>

Review by Dionisio Capuano (BLOW UP Magazine 119, April 2008):

<<[...] not only a great vocal ability - power and versatility – but a great talent interpreting the sense of music and composing abilities as well. You can listen/read "Aisthànomai" like a theoretical work, an organized anthology and a poetical-musical form (...) arising charming performing/interpreting solutions (...) it’s mainly a sensory experience (if not sensual) with the vibrating woman body, into urgency (impact) of the reunification [...]>>

Review by Drexkode.net (Music, Events, Readings & Visions Webzine):

<<[...] A peculiar combination of different disciplines including theatre, philosophy, aesthetics and electronics used as a movie soundtrack.  Aisthànomai  - the Greek term that means "to perceive, to understand” – with its essay and its multifaceted directions, it can be seen as a real opera of avant-garde theatre.  Romina Daniele put herself in front of the audience stimulating it and producing a thrilling and a charming sound (...) the unique and changing voice creates endless moods.  Aisthànomai is a great opera of direction [...]>>

It is also bound to remind the spiritual and pensive forays of Buffy Sainte-Marie (...) It's about vocal experimentations, through its stratifications and recording, which has - in the case of our Romina and in her own words - «the objective to exalt the terms of the construction-sensation relationship, not as conflict but as several extensions» (...)>>Complet text (in italian):

It's difficult to judge (...) Her work isn't simply just music, but the interpretation/interpreter essence itself: inviolable in its audible, not indictable in its manifest complicated form.>>

Romina is performing at the Notturni of Musicamorfosi, the reticular cross-party Saul Beretta's project which takes place in the suggestive Brianza parks with the concourse of many and several artists, to rewrite the Twenty Century era.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below a letter from Romina to all of you.

<<Dear Friends,

I would like to tell you personally (without cold mailing lists) how much I’m sorry for the cancelled concert of Colorno, since many people confirmed their participation.

Anyway, this concert “dedicated to Demetrio” is just postponed to the next season.

That event is going to be replaced by a Miss Italia competition evening…what we can say about that…anyway Colorno is going to gain much more money…

The concert is strongly wanted by Daniela Ronconi (wife of Demetrio Stratos) and I would like to explain what does it mean being active “in memory of Demetrio”.

First of all, it doesn’t mean ’70 Prog and diplophony, and who is convinced that these two categories together are the Demetrio Stratos opera…let me say that he just loves Demetrio.

The fundamentals of Demetrio Stratos opera correspond to a research commitment at any cost, an opening towards an experimental space, not considering all the genres and categories.

Who is convinced that this work is just an external speculation of the artistic persona didn’t understand a lot, who is rather going beyond social rules and knows what does it mean ‘to be true’…then understands me.

My deep research…and my strictness in doing just what I feel are leaving me behind lots of ‘success opportunities’ and important proposals by agencies and labels…but I am strongly convinced that if I stopped being strict, my work would be vain and without any sense.

The fundamentals of my research are the unconditioned freedom, a purity and a truth of being and knowing.

Meeting with Meredith Monk - Romina Daniele's performance

Ferrara, thursday 7 june, at "Biblioteca Ariostea/Teatro Anatomico" h.18
 

edited by  Claudio Chianura and Franco Masotti

“Demetrio Stratos” International Award 

promoted by MM&T, Auditorium Edizioni and  Insound magazine

 

At the end of the Aterforum Festival 2007 open meeting dedicated to Meredith Monk, the exceptional american artist is taking the “Demetrio Stratos” International Award for musical experimentation (2nd edition), designated to celebrate the research and performing work developed by the greek vocalist missing in the 1979. The award is assigned by a jury presided by Daniela Ronconi Demetriou, Demetrio Stratos's wife: the last year award has been awarded from Diamanda Galas and the young vocalist Romina Daniele (new project), who works in a research field that is strictly related to the Meredith Monk and Demetrio Stratos experiences.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Diffrazioni Sonore reviewed by Alberto Carozzi (Sands-zine): "The Daniele's working method consists in to record totally free vocal improvisations - singing, reciting, screaming and vocalism in a broad sense - that are successively edited  in complex set-compositions. It is a contemporary concept of the composition process, in which the writing is not on the paper but on the take, or the hard-disk; it involvs anyway an arrangement and adjustment work as classical technique of composition does. Romina Daniele can be seen in a new group of experimenters of the vocal expression possibilities..." Complete text (in italian): http://www.sands-zine.com/recensioni.php?IDrec=880.

Diffrazioni Sonore reviewed by Massimo Salari (rock-impressions): <<(…) We, admirers of music, we often turn up our nose at certain kind of trial. Bad. It would need to approach the subject with the necessary cultural and mental qualifications: here there aren't tunes to croon, neither music to whistle (...) In Diffrazioni Sonore we listen 30 minutes of vocalises, which are improvised during a 3 hours studio session, but following 3 years of solitude, passion, silence (...) A sonorous experiment in which the voice continuously changes, exactly as a pinched and stretched spring does.>> Complete text (in italian):

http://www.rock-impressions.com/danieleromina1.htm

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Diffrazioni Sonore reviewed by Francesco Ovarelli (territoriomusicale.it): <<The work that Romina Daniele has carried on over these years should not been so easy. The entire work is based on a research exasperated to the core, to be retaken in several and improvised sequences (...) The result, the first matter, is all here. The uneasiness, the happiness, the pleasure, the serenity are some of the emotions which Romina transmits to us through the most versatile and malleable instrument at everyone’s disposal: the voice (...) The voice supports the whole work, it's the only source for the composition. Almost unconsciously, Romina realizes a splendid work in the contemporaneous art ambit. The atmosphere is almost theatrical, crude and visceral, marked by the superb and agonizing Romina’s vocal ups and downs.>> Complete text (in italian): http://www.territoriomusicale.it/recensione.aspx?id=192

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Diffrazioni Sonore reviewed by Luca Rapetti alias Slovo (blogbuster.it): <<An introduction: the work by Romina Daniele can be placed in the avant-garde. And a prayer: listening keeping away every preconceived ideas, any pre-established music rule, its common meanings, structures, constitutive elements. Now we're ready to listen to "Diffrazioni Sonore" (...) The realization of this project, supported by a strong philosophy (which is the Manifesto of the work) is free from all the common processes as well (...) Works like this obviously arise more questions than assertions: where is the line that separates the experimentation and the ultimate result? (...) Anyway, it must be said that Romina shows great courage proposing a work like this, probably more than that Stratos needed in the 70’s, when there was an audience very sensitive to the experimentation.>>

Perfect electronics mixed with a particular leaden voice, so I imagine cold and snow paths. The continuous research and innovation are at the base of the perfect work by the Milanese by adoption "Romina Daniele", to find new ways when all seems already done is certainly talent. "Diffrazioni Sonore" deserves, without roundabout ways, sincere applauses.>> Complete text (in italian): http://www.rockambula.com/recensione_details.php

Diffrazioni Sonore reviewed by Alessandro Nespoli: <<Does anyone knows where the voice was born? Where does it goes? What's its use and how does it works? Is it possible that this mean of communication, this natural musical instrument is paralyzed in a limited and wrong culture? In the West, this wall was pulled down by Demetrio Stratos, voice, not in a limited sense, of the band “Area”: he started with rock music and rhythm'n'blues, from a popular sound, to take his vocal research out of every limit of the musical experimentation; he implemented his technical work with scientific, psychoanalytic, ethnic and anthropological researches which enabled him to involve diplo-phonic and triplo-phonic techniques of mongolian and tibetan origin, which enabled him to work in a field of an avant-garde sound applied to the theatrical expression, as Antonin Artaud's work. This wide, but not dispersive, preface, introduce us to the character of Romina Daniele who, worthy to be a Stratos pupil, has produced a work strictly rare and elaborate, not really mannered.>>

Diffrazioni Sonore reviewed by Donato Zoppo:

 

"When Area and Demetrio Stratos are mentioned, the frequent question is: who has taken their legacy? Here she is, a great heiress not only for the vocalism but above all, for the deep exploration, spirit of the Stratos's research. Romina Daniele has been awarded with the "Demetrio Stratos international award for the musical experimentation" in 2005: her bold and avant-garde project "Diffrazioni sonore" gave her this great acknowledgement.".

By "Arezzo Wave" Festival: “Awarded with the prestigious DEMETRIO STRATOS award in 2005, Romina Daniele is working in the field of the vocal research by combining experimentation and feeling. The strong personality of this 25 years old Neapolitan girl shows a rare artistic disposition in the contemporary music research. The choice of InSound underlines her free and stimulating way to intend the voice work." (from the page www.arezzowave.com/festival/gruppo.php?ID=1526).

 

"Romina Daniele, artist selected by the prestigiuos InSound magazine, confirms the expectations, delighting the audience with vocal and sound alchemy. After been awarded with the Demetrio Stratos award, the 25 years old Neapolitan girl seems moving towards a remarkable artistic growth, by a peculiar vocal research which combines experimentation and pathos."
