Jules Reidy collaborates with seasoned Italian percussionist on dessus oben alto up, blending Reidy's innovative guitar work and microtonal chimes with Belfi's textured, modular rhythmic grooves.

| 2. Reidy, known for infusing pop and kosmiche elements into avant-garde guitar landscapes, complements Belfi's decades-long exploration of percussive textures. The opening track, "dessus," sets a contemplative tone with fingerpicked melodies and organ-like chimes. This gives way to "oben," an intense piece marked by drones, arpeggios, and driving rhythms. The standout "alto" captures the duo's peak, melding 12-string acoustic riffs, brass-toned synths, and Belfi's dynamic drum rolls. The track evolves into a cosmic-folk crescendo, blending earthy strums with celestial synth blips, highlighting the duo's seamless interplay |
