NIGHT SESSIONS CD: REVIEW ON SOUNDBLAB
Aptly named, this. Night Sessions by Cristiano Deison, ex of Meathead, is the perfect soundtrack to lying awake in the pre-dawn hours, listening to your breath rattling through your body and wondering about all those sudden, muffled noises outside. In its warm, amniotic pulse, its sudden outbreaks of unearthly effects and its relentless, subconscious, sentinel throb, Night Sessions spirits you straight to those twilight hours when your imagination is unmoored and the fantastical seems horribly or beautifully possible.
Collaborating with friends and fellow artists including Scanner, Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop,Phyler), and Franck Vigroux, Deison has crafted 13 tracks of uneasy yet dreamy listening. Influenced by Brian Eno, Throbbing Gristle and Nurse with Wound, the somnambulist likes of 'Morning Blues', 'Sleepless Train' and, in particular, the gorgeous 11 minute closing statement, Qualcose Do Morto, perfectly capture an aching, bleary-eyed sensibility, that sleep-deprived state where even a trip to the shops becomes a surreal voyage.
Of course, it goes without saying that this is stoner music par excellence, but if you steer clear of the reefer you shouldn't be put off. Night Sessions is simply first class ambient music, and a beautiful way to spent an hour or so of your life, whether it be in the dead of night or a lazy afternoon.[8/] (Soundblab)

RECENSIONE SU DARKROOM DI "NIGHT SESSIONS"CD
L'italiano Deison, autore di conclamata fama e lunga carriera, appronta un nuovo full-length confrontandosi con stili diversi, alla cui base rimane la passione per quell'ambient tipica di alcune sue vecchie produzioni. A tale variante va aggiunta la presenza di molti collaboratori, che danno all'album sfumature particolari e inaspettate facendo di ogni brano una storia a sé. Come spiegato dal titolo dell'opera, le tracce hanno in comune una calma oscura generata tramite sintetizzatori, leggeri drones e rumori minimali; tale singolarità diventa evidente soprattutto nei cinque pezzi messi a punto dal solo Deison, sorta di pacate colonne sonore che sfiorano tenui melodie segnate da derive glitch e sognanti audio-dilatazioni ("Qualcosa Di Morto"), in grado a volte di ricordare autori del calibro di Badalamenti ("Senza Spazio"). Nei restanti brani la matrice elettro-acustica diventa la partner ideale di tonalità diverse, che vengono unite per affinità o in contrasto alla calma di base. Vecchie tastiere e motivi di chitarra vanno ad aumentare la vena malinconica in "Hidden Orchestra" (realizzata con Jim Coleman), in "Black Light" (in coppia con Testing Vault) e in "Morning Blues" (assieme a Teardo). Ma è l'intensità uditiva di "Swans Crash Two Die", assemblata ancora con Teho Teardo, a fornire il picco sperimentale e qualitativo dell'intero disco, grazie ad un accumulo di materiale acustico ed elettronico che viaggia in sincrono. Ulteriori variazioni arrivano coi cadenzati riverberi di "Bleeding Silence" (a cui partecipa Robin Rimbaud), con il glitch-noise in tono minore di "No Suggestions" (insieme a Franck Vigroux), con le fredde e sparute note di piano di "Empty Dreams" (in collaborazione con Philippe Petit) ed infine coi prolungati boati e la meccanica linearità di "Insomnia" (in coppia col duo Under The Snow). "Night Sessions" è una piccola prelibatezza per palati esigenti, costruita con l'esperienza e il gusto di un autore che conosce a fondo la sua materia e la perfeziona con l'ausilio di ospiti scelti. Raffinato.

REVIEW ON CHAIN DLK
Many out there, probably can't remember Cristiano Deison played keyboards and samplers for Meathead, later he started his own solo carrier which among other things has brought him to cross his knobs with KK Null and to share a split with Thurston Moore. Does he need international credits to have more credibility? No way! Maybe it has probably helped him to reach a broader audience, above all his wonderful collaboration with KK Null, but as far as I concern Deison was a good musician from his early recordings and this cd (despite presenting a good amount of collaborations) testifies that again and again. He started as a dark ambient musician and he's slowly evolving his style, both his last collaboration and this new work shows he's experimenting to evolve his music. The majority of the tracks have a sort of quasi-electronic ecstatic feel. The sound definition is good, few sounds the reach the climax during the evolution of the track, drones, bleeps, guitar drones and synths have been used parsimoniously but with a hell of a taste. The atmosphere is melancholic but not depressive, it's one of those recordings that demands a relaxed night listening. Deison is probably reaching his full blossoming period.

DEISON /KK NULL
From "Into" (CD Silentes minimal editions SME 0931)
I'm sure many of you have already both the musicians but for those lucky (or unlucky) readers under thirty, we must remember that Cristiano Deison beside being involved directly with Final Muzik and after having put out a good amount of interesting releases during his solo career, has also been a member of those Meathead where one of his band mates was mighty Mauro Theo Teardo. KK Null for those who don't know him is one of the three Zenigeva heroes: noise masters, industrial rockers and famous for having records out on Neurot, Alternative Tentacles and with Steve Albini. This is a freak power work, you can get it right from the cover, I was sure it would have been an interesting collaboration but it really blew me away. I'm sure many of you could have expected both of them would have gone along with the peculiarities of each other. If you add their characteristics are quite complementary you can imagine the result could have been easily guessed, infact if the japanese musician was more oriented toward cold electronic sounds, the italian was more drone oriented. This collaborative recording gave us a dense blend of music that instead of following the noise route like everyone else is doing drifts voluntarily toward electronic music. Cold electronic music, sure, but at the same time really expressive, I'm tented to mention Panasonic above all for their audio profile and not exactly for the music they play, heavy and dense electronic shapes that you usually expect on labels like Touch. An high profile release, listen carefully to the production and to the recording where every frequency doesn't cross the scene with leaving a sign. Every track is meant with the clear idea to put out something that sounds differently if compared to the plethora of releases overwhelming the experimental musical scene. This all happens without becoming one of those self-indulging work searching for "originality" at every cost, every song has its own identity both individually that as a whole. The title track itself is the epitome of this cd, but the sharp sounds, the digital layers and the crepuscular drones leave room to some quasi melodic solutions there to alleviate the listening difficulties. A real orgy of good taste that moves linearly in suspension between the finnish forests and the twilight zone and at the same time able to be "warm": amazing release!.
