Só a chance de ouvir um instrumento como a guitarra sardenha (processada) de Paolo Angeli já valeria uma viagem ao Mediterrâneo. Mescla de violão e violoncelo, com uma cabeleira de fios elétricos escorrendo pelo chão, ela é tocada alternadamente com os dedos ou com arco e produz sons que vão da previsível corda tangida a estranhos lamentos, mugidos e percussões, de contundência ao mesmo tempo arcaica e atual.
- Folha de S.Paulo, 29 agosto 2005 - ARTHUR NESTROVSKI
"...Paolo Angeli is one of jazz’s best-kept secrets. The Sardinian guitarist (of sorts) has the ability to conjure incomparably beautiful multi-layered music, all from just one instrument. Playing a one- of-a-kind guitar/cello/motorised hybrid, Paolo bows, plucks and even provides his own percussion all at the same time without any need for loops. You can hear him (...) in a stunning session performance that combines a heritage in traditional folk melodies, improvised jazz and his unique instrumental techniques".

Bio
Paolo Angeli was born 14 november 1970, grow up in Palau (Sardinia). Out of this fighting meeting between extra-cultivated avant-garde and popular tradition, Paolo Angeli's Sardinian prepared-guitar was born: an orchestra-instrument with 18 cords, an hybrid between baritone guitar, cello and drums, gifted with hammers, pedals, some propellers at variable speed. With this singular instrument Paolo elaborates, improvises and composes unclassifiable music, suspended between traditional music of sardinia, jazz, postfolk and minimal pop. He has collaborated with Pat Metheny, Fred Frith, Jon Rose, Takumi Fukushima etc.
