S.L.Mangia has a beautifully flexible voice: extraordinaire extension, multiphonic clearness and a strong lyrical tone that always delivers emotion and elegance.

Echoing some Demetrio Stratos peculiar feautures, bending pitches and being simply intense from the sublte whisper to the open throat singing, S.L.Mangia gives here one of  his best performances, opening possibilities and getting a new glance to the marvelous and  unpredictable John Cage’ s compositions.

The voice is supported by experience and classy touch of Gianni Lenoci, a name often appearing on Amirani Records.

A nice Mesostic written by Mr. Stefano Pocci appears on the booklet and completes a beautiful record.

So be sure to find here a top class Amirani records release!
