Sparkle in Grey have recorded “A Quiet Place” in 2006 with Giuseppe Ielasi (well known for his records on Hapna and 12k in the experimental and micro-sounds scene), while collaborating with Telepherique and Maurizio Bianchi and remixing for Micecars and Ether.
The six tracks on this debut album have started off as improvisations on an electronic base, and have later developed throughout live shows in Italy and abroad in squats, clubs, diners, music festivals in the woods and in a kindergarden.
A Quiet Place is an experimental post-rock album with a pop taste, where electronics and ‘real’ drum rhythms, field recordings and other instruments blend harmonically in.
