Madame P (Italy)
June 24th, 2007These 3 jewels from the beloved Madame P are a delight to listen to. Backed with simple instrumental rhythms, her complex, intimate voice is layered over itself creating a melodical and mechanical weave. Simply Beautiful.
Madame P is the latest musical incarnation of italian artist Patrizia Oliva. In the past she was a co-founder and member of the seminal all-female band Allun. She was also a member of Rosas Y Tulipanes duo along with Luca Pagani, guitarist of the alternative rock back Viclarsen.
Recently she also started collaborations with Luca Sigurta’ in the highly experimental project Macaya, and with Tommaso Rolando and Marco Ravera, guitarist and double bass player of the acclaimed jazz/fusion band Calomito, in the impro/jazzy combo Toba. A few self-released EPs and a long series of successful concerts rapidly brought her among the most promising female italian acts. Her official debut album was released in Germany by Cold Coffeine Addict in November 2005. A noisy collaboration with The Afeman, a.k.a. Andrea Marutti, was released in April 2006 on Afe Records.
Her live sets are focused on the wide range of her vocal techniques: she experiments with her voice sampling it in real time, feeding the result through various effect units along with contact microphones and other minimal electronic devices. “Spellbound”, an album recorded live in Rome, was released in the U.K. by Curor Recordings in Autumn. During 2006 Madame P has been touring through U.S.A., U.K. and The Netherlands. She is currently working on her second album which will be released later during the year.
