Tevo Howard’s Crystal Republic Album Tour
Tevo Howard è uscito fuori dal nulla, e con quel poco che aveva ha creato un universo house fuori dalla portata umana, un mondo sonoro che appartiene al ricordo, perché è uno dei più fedeli esperimenti di recupero di quelle sensazioni afrodisiache che hanno fatto si che Chicago diventasse il luogo.
Il suo mood non ha mai smesso di cercare quelle atmosfere, di plasmarle e farle diventare nuova linfa.
Giocando con la melodia è arrivato a comporre brani incredibili come “Everyday House Music” e “Move”, mettendo in gioco tutto un armamentario di bassline, percussioni e piano. Sembra incredibile, sono passati venti anni e quei tre la fanno ancora da padroni.
Questo è un lavoro in grande, un doppio vinile pubblicato da una costola della sempre più attenta Rush Hour, label che ha da subito creduto nelle capacità di Tevo, rendendosi protagonista insieme ai suoi suoni di un’ ascesa che lo vede ora come uno degli artisti su cui puntare per ritrovare la via.
Crystal Republic è un lavoro diviso in 6 solchi trascinati da un’ossatura solida ma scarnificata, è una lunga scia dove il battito è cuore ed anima, e dove i synth trovano ampi orizzonti per fughe solitarie.
Nell’iniziale title track assistiamo a quella che forse è la marcia più rigogliosa del lavoro, fondata su una potente base ritmica e da un intervallarsi di piano, organo e bassline.
Mentre già dalla successiva “Laboratory” siamo testimoni di un progressivo assottigliamento volumetrico, una discesa in territori oscuri dove l’uomo seleziona pochissimi ma validi elementi per dipingere questo viaggio nel sottosuolo.
Qui l’attenzione è posta sul ritmo, un susseguirsi di carrelli ritmici, piatti e cassa, poi naturalmente un apparato melodico, bassline s synth, as usual, ma con la sensazione di trovarsi di fronte a due binari che viaggiano paralleli.
Ci sono pezzi che ti tolgono il respiro, succede, succede anche qui, nel pulsante battito di “The Glass Ceiling”, un posto che è il paradiso e vede gli angeli impegnati in celestiali ed eteree suonate.
Nella doppia versione finale di “Data” è scolpito invece il suo cuore, ventricolo per ventricolo, Data è un brano che stà nella grazia divina, unisce la dolcezza di una linea di basso scritta col sangue alla potenza di una drum machine programmata da Dio in persona rendendo di nuovo e di fatto lecita la parola House.
We can now announce Tevo Howard’s date in Turin in celebration of his excellent Crystal Republic Album - Out Now On - Hour House Is Your Rush - Rush Hour’s - House Sub Label .
About TEVO HOWARD?
I started to DJ at roughly thirteen or fourteen years old, putting us back to about 1987. After a knee injury in a skateboard accident (I wiped out) in 1987, I found myself sitting at home, bored, and with little interests other than skateboarding and music. With skateboarding out of the picture, I could only gather to mess around with the turntables that sat in the room my brothers and I all shared. I remember thinking that being a DJ was a hobby that wasn’t either illegal, or dangerous, and that it would be fun to DJ my own music as opposed to my brother’s music. I walked down to Gramaphone Records, which was about 10 blocks away, and bought one record. I had no idea what was about to happen (by the way, the first record I ever bought was that day, “True Faith,” New Order).
Needless to say, it became an addiction. At 14 I had the goal of one crate. My brother had already collected ten crates, and I was determined. I found myself at Gramaphone and Wax Trax picking up current day gems with my lunch money. It became one record a day. I am grateful to have Grown up in the Chicago record scene, because it provided a medium to apply my curious mind as a young musician.
Musicianship has always been something I’ve loved, or that is, I’ve been truly in love with instrumentation since the violin at age 7. Instrumentation, in fact, has never left my life. Today, my instrument is the bass guitar, because it is the instrument that I am most skilled at playing.
Although, I studied a total of ten years in college, only three and a half of those years were in music. Just out of high school in 1992, I studied at Columbia College in Chicago with the intention of getting a Bachelors in music, bass guitar studies. I usually don’t consider the year and a half that I studied at Columbia for two main reasons: first, I was just out of high school and, in my opinion, very uneducated about, even, the mere etiquette of college life (at the time Chicago educational facilities had been considered the worst circuit in the United States); and second, looking back I did not believe in Columbia’s teaching philosophies.
I transfered to the City Colleges of Chicago in 1994. It was then that I met two good teachers that taught based on two concepts: First, if you jump in, you’ll probably learn to swim; and second, if you try hard, you’ll probably swim well. Michael Holian, the dean of music at the time, informed me after my first couple of classes that I would be playing contra-bass (Upright Bass) in the college orchestra. Those were my favorite days as a student.
I took a break from all music application from 1997 through 2004. Circa 2004 and 2005, I entered Law School, and as well began to DJ on the turntables that I had never sold (They were then almost 20 years old). As I studied an array of subjects and pursued several degrees before my full return to music (this includes a B.A. in International Studies at DePaul University), I found myself one day in 2006, headed to class to get the rest of my M.A. in Writing at DePaul, and yet, unable to get out of my car. I remember reaching for the latch several times, but ultimately deeming that I did not believe in the teaching philosophy of Depaul’s M.A. in Writing program. So, I started the car again, and went home. It was that day that I began to build my studio, Beautiful Granville Studios.”
Deep inside, I know well that I am only at the beginning of my career.
