Musica Virtuale ™

We have an increasing desire in any case to get firm ground under our feet.
The floe has been a good friend to us, but it is reaching the end of its journey, and it is liable at any time now to break up and fling us into the unplumbed sea.

STUPIDAMUTAFORMA is the first official mixtape from FERA, the performative audio project of italian Andrea De Franco (1989) after a good 10 years of demos, secret albums, live performances and apocalyptic trap/italodance djsets, it features at least 17 tracks over 42 minutes from solo synth reflection to piano pieces, electroacoustic collaging, somber techno mutism, harsh percussive droning etc.

press statement:
"I have been amassing demos, recording, small bootlegs and whatnot for years now. In 2008 I started to collect all the stuff I wrote but felt out of context for my metal band, and also expanded my guitar work to heavy FX and electroacoustic manipulations. Puredata, synths, field recordings, weird devices and dj softwares followed. Some of tracks here have been wandering for years, from hard disk to hard disk, as I moved from city to city, and the origin or workflow is just too long and confusing to track. A couple tunes have been performed and produced less than a week ago. There is still a ~6 hours vault of unreleased material.
In the past I would sometimes pack a .rar file and send small "discs" to selected friends. In a way it was dishonest to use friendship as leverage or shield to protect me from actual criticism and judgement. To my friends: thanks/sorry.
Thanks to Elettra for her voice recordings and Steve Scanu for his superb production skills. Thanks to Peter/Casper/Bastl and Eric/Landscape for their devices and to Olivier/AJAX for their softwares."

CR 21-11-19 w/ MAXWELL STERLING

Taken from Maxwell Sterling - Laced With Rumour: Loud-Speaker of Truth
LP/Download [ELP050] 
Ecstatic Recordings, 24/04/2020

Weaving an intricately detailed tapestry of meditative, spiritual jazz and dream electronics, Maxwell Sterling’s astonishing second album ‘Laced With Rumour: Loud-Speaker Of Truth’ blooms in the gaps between Don Cherry, Talk Talk and Kara-Lis Coverdale, gently coaxing us into a trance- like reverie where the real and artificial morph into one pulsing organism.

Originating as a multi-channel installation commissioned by Nottingham Contemporary in 2018, the four extended pieces here were recorded at home in Morecambe Bay and then subsequently placed in a room alongside works by Moki Cherry (spouse of Don, mother of Neneh and Eagle-Eye Cherry), Penny Slinger, and a collection of static musical instruments the piece was intended to complement. As a follow-up to Sterling’s 2017 cult hit ‘Hollywood Medieval’ for The Death of Rave, ‘Laced With Rumour’ works with notably more fluid and gently psychoactive structuring that takes in seemingly disparate influences - from Roman mythology to Nottingham’s Lace industry - that results in a sprawling but intimate world of sound, characterised by aetheric arrangements that effectively elide the disciplines of spiritual jazz, chamber music, and art installation into something altogether new.

Much like Kara-Lis Coverdale’s converging interests in traditional vs hyper-modern, acoustic vs artificial and synthetic modes of sound, Sterling’s work here is fluid and unorthodox, but rooted in a deep understanding of convention which he proceeds to bend and re-shape at will. The album opens with a slowly contemplative and almost solemn drift between ‘Laced’, which features samples of Don Cherry weft into its tingling fray of electro-acoustic timbres, alongside the breezy chamber strokes of ‘With Rumour’, the hallucinogenic qualities of ‘Loud-Speaker’, and the darker revelation ‘Of Truth’, which concludes with a transition from mired murk to tones that channel Maxwell’s refined cinematic nous.

One of those albums that seems impossible to fully absorb in one sitting, listening to ‘Laced With Rumour...’ takes you from a swirl of brushed cymbals into harpsichord shimmers, passages of solo piano brushing up against the deepest subs - like a more bruised and flipped Sakamoto + Alva Noto collab, to Arthur Russell’s ‘World Of Echo’ slowly descending into synthesised madness. It’s a rich and stunning meditation for our time.

During the coronavirus time a group of artists of Rava vavàra have made a collective project, assembling individual contributions together and creating a unique sound art piece.
"The all is one" is the title of the piece, coming from an old inscription attributed to an ancient Egypt woman alchemist called Cleopatra the Alchemist.
The name is believed to be the tag for a group of proto-chemists operating some century B.C. and developing medicaments.
The all is one has been broadcasted so far on Archipel Community Radio in Berlin (Germany), Radio Quarantine - the Indian Sonic Research Organisation in Bangalore (India), ∏node Radio in Paris (France).
