Andrew Pekler & Giuseppe Ielasi treat sound as a poetic metaphor on new LP

Minimalism meets arrhythmic percussion – tracing ghostly lines across memories and places.

Andrew Pekler and Giuseppe Ielasi are releasing a new album, called Palimpsests, via Shelter Press this October.

The album was born from a series of improvisations made by the duo during 2015, with Pekler and Ielasi reworking and building on the compositions over the following six years.

The resulting album uses deconstructed textures, arrhythmic percussions, and elements of minimalism to explore “sound as poetic metaphor; a series of ghosts – traces of memory, image, and action.”

Palimpsests follows the label’s release of PDP III’s Pilled Up on a Couple of Doves album, in April.
