Alfredo Triff - 21 Broken Melodies At Once album flac

This is not a collection of songs with melodies and improvised solos, but rather a sort of "symphony" or better, a collage, of ideas, sounds and assorted noises. A short orchestral violin solo gives way to radio sounds, distorted electric violins, a conga/violin duet and on "Sitera" a simply lovely Spanish song sung wonderfully by Xiomara Lougart. As a composer Triff succeeds only partially in that rather grand premise. Regardless of how new or "outside" your ideas are, you simply can’t beat a good melody and good chord changes. This is an uneven, at times unfocused effort, but it does have it’s moments, particularly the warm, husky, sensual voice of Xiomara Lougart.

Alfredo Triff is, you might say, a unique composer. Born and raised in Cuba, he arrived in the . in 1980 as part of the Mariel boat lift, determined not to make his living from music, and simply play when he wanted - hence the long time it's taken for this album to appear, although in-between he has played with people like John Cage (whose influence is evident in the. prepared piano Triff uses as part of his musical arsenal) and Kip Hanrahan, who worked closely with him on this record.
