Ascoltare

Dave Henson

Short biography of Ascoltare: New name and work from Dave Henson, a mentalist individual who has realised that in order for himself to remain relatively sane he must abandon music altogether. However, the likelihood of this scenario feels impossible for a sensitive man whose love of music weighs far more important than a harboured mental disposition. Ascoltare (from fhe Italian word for `to listen') is fine-grained and structured electronica with environmental and acoustic samples giving a spatial and organic feel. As well as continuing the explorations of melody of his previous work in Mouse Finding The Key and Gwei-Lo, Ascoltare has a diversity encompassing excursions into abstract dub and experimental texture.
