solo release featuring two videotaped performances in berlin & buenos aires. for the some it will be "extended techniques revealed", for us it is "hearing (or seeing perhaps?) is believing".

"Despite the many, many releases reviewed so far in the field of improvised music, there is hardly a thing to see. Seeing is believing sometimes, or perhaps it takes away some of the magic? Lucio Capece hails from Argentina and now lives in Berlin. On this DVD-R two live pieces from 2005, and two different approaches to playing the soprano saxophone. The first piece is recorded at Labor Sonor in Berlin and sees him playing 'soprano saxophone and preparations'. In this piece he plays the saxophone with various objects, such as a bow, a plastic case and blows the mouthpiece separate from the saxophone. All is amplified and in between picking up various objects there is silence. In this twenty-two minute he carefully plays around with the notion of silence and brings out soft spoken touches on his instrument. Which is in total contrast of the piece recorded at the No Spaghetti festival in Buenos Aires later in 2005. Here he moves the saxophone around to create a wall of feedback, and he hardly blows the thing. How exactly this feedback is made doesn't become clear, but seeing the noise being made is a great thing. These two entirely different approaches to playing two different ways of improvisation makes this a great document." (Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly)
