Info

City Reading Tre Storie Western is a 2003 album by the French duo Air in collaboration with the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco. In this album, Baricco narrates some passages from his novel City with Air's music in the background. The impetus for the album was in 2001, when Air performed background music to a live theater reading of City at the request of Baricco. The following month, they recorded three excerpts from his book: Bird track 1, La Puttana Di Closingtown tracks 210 and Caccia All. Effete, hyperliterary, overurbanized, tribalistic, unlistenable. Another example of an otherwise respectable artist letting their internal bullshit meter get so far out of calibration as to be incapable of distinguishing a work of deep universal experience from an idiosyncratic and private one. City Reading is a music album by Air & Alessandro Baricco released in 2003. City Reading is ranked 75,166th in the overall chart, 16,968th in the 2000s, and 1,716th in the year 2003.

Baricco's three stories are bleak Western parables, each featuring characters who are courting death: in Bird, an old gunslinger waits, half-blind, for some young gun to come along and take him out, inheriting his status and with it, the certainty of his own death in La Puttana di Closingtown, the distraught lover of a murdered whore rides to a distant town .

City Reading is a collaboration between Air and writer Alessandro Baricco, in which Baricco reads text from his novel, City, to Air's backing tracks. The three explain how it went down in the liner notes: City is a book. The idea was to read some pages of it aloud, in a theater full of people, with musical accompaniment throughout. We did this in Rome, in November of 2002. It went well. The audience applauded, and we enjoyed ourselves. So the idea became: to make a CD in which a voice is reading, surrounded by music. We recorded the CD in Paris, a month later. We enjoyed ourselves. AirBaricco: City Reading - Tre Storie Western. 2, 5 stars 2 out of 5 stars. French electronicists Air describe City Reading as a spoken-word album, acknowledging that their music is intended to hover in the background while Italian novelist Alessandro Baricco reads extracts from his novel City, which concerns the lurid imaginative life of a mathematical prodigy. The project took root last year, when Baricco invited Air to perform live at a reading he gave at Rome's Teatro Valle. Listen free to Air and Alessandro Baricco City Reading.
