about

Frank Martino’s “Revert” is a complex work with no beginning. It lets
you with the feeling that you can listen to it starting from the end
or from its half. Martino’s one is not a work on traditional melody
(although several references to serial music, as well as to Ravel and
Rachmaninov, can be found) but on the sound structure infused with
funky, noise and, of course, jazz. Therefore, in Schönberg’s words,
it is a music where the deterioration of sound may turn into the
beginning of a new event, which, in turn, can be split right inside,
thus suggesting a random listening.

This is not just a guitar player’s album: it’s signed by a
comprehensive artist who approaches the music with the curious eyes of
someone who can see it in today’s set of impulses and bits, dialogue,
communication and improvisation. Here is why this work can be easily
placed in the path of a new, crossbred jazz, influenced by the sounds
of the world as well as by human and tech journeys worldwide.

Frank can count on the help of Stefano Dallaporta, Diego Pozzan,
Claudio Vignali and Antonio Gallucci. And, most importantly, on the
help of old and new technology when he plays either with the sounds of
a Hammond or with an analog synth, both happening to have a sonic
conversation with a drum machine, or even with Ableton Live-processed
sounds, or other oddities.

In the end, if his compositions are a chance to collect music from any
part of this work, it’s with Radiohead’s “Nude” that Frank Martino’s
passions tie together and appear in plain sight. “Revert” is a
reverberation. It involves a “reverse” listening, if you like,
breaking traditional ways of hearing music.
