INTRODUCTION
"I
don’t like to think using patterns or categories so I direct my
search along a liny shadow line trying to overpass the musical walls
and putting together different sound universes, enlarging the
landscape spared to the listener. My works are trying to make nexus among
the sounds of tagged dark-ambient with sounds of so-called
industrial. Two different sound landscapes to which coincides two
universes, two dimensions very far among them that I try to do
complements.As
beside to dark and iron sonorities, representatives the factory and
smithy, there are warm notes coming from cello and viola hold by
sound carpets. Distorted voices appears sometimes like a most evident
signal of the human misery. Several times the pulse coming out from a
drum machine or from a rhythmic noise gives an obsessive heartbeat to
the piece. Every
sound is the materialization of a specific condition, always balanced
from social and inside-private dimension. Themes of pieces and their
sound development lives not for to respect the style of a kind of
music that must be transmitted or destroyed. With a lot of effort the
works are trying to get ahead of everything in a journey between what
is enclosing outside and what lives inside, attaching sounds who can
recomposing the unit of the human condition explored crossing always
the darkest side of the path."
