about

Low-frequency, high-impact events such as earthquakes and tsunamis are not preventable, three bodies in a room sonically engaging are even less so. Beresford’s architectural narrative drives Magaletti and Martino’s rhythmic interventions into compelling short stories about dancing, dressing in rags, dreaming, swallowing, flight, famine, transformation, and dystopias/utopias.

Frequency Disasters are pianist, improviser and composer Steve Beresford, percussionist Valentina Magaletti and bass player Pierpaolo Martino. The trio offers a carnivalesque approach to improvisation, where high and low culture, drama and irony 'speak' to each other, constantly redefining themselves and where normative approaches to frequency and sound are necessarily escaped. Mixing free jazz, noise, avant-garde and library music, the trio creates an imaginary soundtrack to a narrative nourished by literary suggestions of authors such as P.G. Wodehouse, Jeanette Winterson and Italo Calvino.

INTIMATE IMMENSITY
by TOMAGA

The last, outstanding release of the London based experimental duo ), accomplished just before Tom’s passing in August 2020, is the distillate of two years of new creative enhancement. VALENTINA MAGALETTI

Bandiera Di Carta
by Tomaga & Pierre Bastien

supported by 8 fans who also own “FREQUENCY DISASTERS”

It is difficult to say why Tomaga & their collaborations and Tom’s & Valentina’s side projects thrill me so. Spaces to share and inhabit, fragility in synesthetic form, poetic objectivity. Bandiera is their most thrilling outing, maybe even more than The Shape of the Dance—the previous high water mark for me... Eric K

Holy Tongue
by Holy Tongue

supported by 7 fans who also own “FREQUENCY DISASTERS”

No one knows where dub goes. UK duo Holy Tongue are doing their damndest to track it down. Witness: Post-punk spliced with dub the way it was done, anachronistic but futuristic like if at the end of Primer the time machine room was revealed to be This Heat’s Cold Storage studio. It’s refreshing in the 2020s to hear something so raw yet technical, unsequenced but rhythmically tight. MDonaldson (8sided.blog)
