4!

4! is an Italian experimental improvisation quartet consisting of Patrizia Oliva, Carlo Mascolo, Domenico Saccente and Felice Furioso. The ensemble brings together voice and electronics, prepared trombone, accordion and prepared piano, drums, friction percussion and sounded objects.

On the album Factorial, recorded at Labsonic Recording Studio in Matera, the four musicians develop an unpredictable electroacoustic language through extended instrumental techniques, contrasting textures and collective interaction. The project draws on the expressive potential of unconventional sound sources without restricting the music to fixed arrangements.

The quartet's Creative Sources release is Factorial (CS532), documenting the collaboration of Oliva, Mascolo, Saccente and Furioso.
