When you start the first notes of the initial set of the festival the sun is not up yet. I have just five in the morning and music - that of Dubmode or Michele Casanova duo of Cagliari Signorafranca - is still played at a very low volume, with the console as illuminated by a spotlight placed in front. The audience begins to arrive in small groups and lie on the sand, still fresh, the dunes of Torre dei Corsairs to Sant'Antionio Santadi, near Arbus, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches of Costa Verde. It was an unusual happening to Obrèscida, organized by the collective TempuNou Nootempo - for the treatment of Quilo, Arrogalla and Claudia Aru Carreras - and held in between Saturday night and Sunday morning from five until nine. A dawn to music in middle of the golden sand dunes of some of the largest in Sardinia, where music and nature are interwoven in an intimate and relaxed made possible by the relatively low number of participants - purposely limited - the sensitivity of the musicians who are able to interpret the musical mood of the dawn, and a beautiful location that was made for the first time the background of a music event related to electronic music. The festival - organized in collaboration with Gaetano Filice Hotel Golden Sands - was a pilot who served as a test in order to bring the live electronics in similar contexts in the future, in full compliance environment. Successful experiment thanks to the fact that, musically, took turns some of the most interesting electronic projects and producer born in Sardinia in recent years. The dawn was the sound track producer Ganga Sassari, young boy with a hard shoulder for Nootempo, which is produced in a set much quieter than usual - very suitable for, say, the time at which it is played - with laptop and turntable incorporating ambient, downtempo and trip-hop. Menion - guitarist Muccamacca - brought a set for guitar and laptop with a moderate use of voice, between deconstruction and post folktronica. The musician has given way to Neeva - not before to have a duet with him on a sitar improvisation and laptops - producer Cagliari sampler that collects on shuffling beats and a pulsating sound that moves from hip hop to abstract downtempo rhythms. The duo has reworked his Bentesoi live for the occasion: the Carreras sang while kneeling on the sand produced Arrogalla dirty beat - as if immersed in a lo-fi haze - and an array of sound dub. Mantaraffu - that of Marcello Cualbu Signorafranca - was produced in the more experimental performances, with a dark sound, which embraced different elements in a magma heavily sound button. Plastik Kettle The duo veered towards a soft electro-pop very heavily indebted to the eighties. Everybody's Tesla produced live longer pinched between timid openings dancefloor, pop melodies and a playful use of homemade instruments, synth, and vocals KAOSS pad. Finally Paul Indeo, San Gavino boy who is just looking out into the world of music production with an array of deep-house sound. At the end of everything, as was natural, group lunch and swim in the sea all day. Andrea Tramonte, Unione Sarda, 05/07/2010
