Description:
Heinrich Dressel was an archaeologist, epigraphist and numismatist, creator of a table, still in use,
for the cataloging of Roman amphorae. For over ten years, one of the founders of MinimalRome,
Valerio Lombardozzi, has embraced the name of the German scholar, becoming both the guardian
of a dense collection of sounds from the past and the creator of new brilliant electronic ones.
“Completion Of The Amphoras Table”, originally released on cd by Legowelt's Strange Life Records,
was the final chapter of the so-called 'Studium Amphorae Trilogy', a triptych of albums which tried
to 'evoke' in notes not only the discoveries and the studies of Monte Testaccio's fragments made
by the former pupil of Theodor Mommsen.
The first vinyl release of “Completion Of The Amphoras Table”, curated by Souterraine.org and
Envlp_Imprint, fills not only a recording void, but also gives posterity a remarkable album to
rediscover, worthy successor of “Mons Testaceum” (2007 ) and “Escape From The Hill” (2008),
which reconstructs one more time the ghostly atmosphere of a Rome at the dawn of the 20th
century. Heinrich Dressel adopts the stylistic features of gloomy soundtracks and, above all, relies
on a set of polyphonic synthesizers that, starting from the rare Elka Syntex, favor the composition
of abstract textures, punctuated by some appropriate variations, and harmonies which, net of the
deep bass, make every single track even more magnetic.
