This track was created during "Nachtkultur / Нічна культура", a German-Ukrainian electronic music residency at the end of 2020. The residency initiated by Cashmere Radio (Berlin) and Visual Culture Research Center (Kyiv) invited 12 artists, 6 from each country with the aim of fostering intercultural dialogue between the two locations. 

International meetings in non-virtual reality became impossible due to the COVID-19 measures, so the 11-track complation became an imaginary place of encounter.

Cashmere Radio is an experimental community radio station based in Berlin-Lichtenberg. The ambition of the station is to preserve and further radio and broadcasting practices by playing with the plasticity and malleability of the medium.

Visual Culture Research Center (VCRC, Kyiv) is an independent initiative, which is engaged in publishing and artistic activities, scientific research, organization of public lectures, discussions, and conferences. VCRC is an organizer of Kyiv Biennial since 2015.

The project was implemented within the "MEET UP! German-Ukrainian Youth Encounters" programme with support from the Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future" (EVZ).

I used Ableton's Operator synth's white noise and sine wave in A3 (220Hz in frequency) pitch to test and calibrate the spatialization of the 5.1 speaker setup in the project space of MACA during my residency there, building up for "Latent amongst the Air", a project commissioned by Sonic Acts Festival. Because of the unusual shape and structures of the space, I had to figure out some way to measure its acoustics + unconventional placement of the 5.1 speakers setup I was using.

But then a fun idea occurred to me to amplify(or abuse?) the project space's acoustic characteristics and spatiality furthermore with a waveform that is a bit more complex(sawtooth wave) and hence suspected that this would yield interesting aliasings and excite certain partials, creating "ghost melodies" of the space... 
In fact, when the project was under "installation mode" prior to the performance, this is what was being looped.

On Sunday afternoon 29-05-22 before the last round of performances, with help of Anne, I decided to record some improvisation with the space in this manner.
So here it goes, tuning of a space, which are latent melodies from partials of the pedal tone of A3 in SAW64 wave recapitulated by the project space of MACA while it's circulating around the room through the 5 speakers at the rate of 0.09 Hz speed. What's being stacked on top of A3 pitch as chords are some impromptu counterpoints on top to introduce some nice interference just for fun. Slight attenuation and phasing of the composition were probably also a contribution of Anne who was walking around and exploring the space with the recording device in place of my two feet and ears that were bounded by the hands playing keys behind the laptop...

3XL Takeover @ The Lot Radio 09 - 13 - 2022

Piezo demolishes the next OK submission with a futuristic mirage of experimental techno ft. surges of warped textures and skewed timeframes.

Mirroring his quintessentially Off-Kilter productions, this mix ruptures twisted audio narratives, shredding them to bare bones and stitching them back together again - it's unpredictably adventurous and charged with raw recoveries. 

//

Scaling the liminal nexus of UK club futurism with tempoless inhibitions and adventurous textures in sound, Piezo explores the kinetic infinites of dance music’s vast permutations. 

Luca Mucci's output as Piezo revels in the hi-def synthetics of sound sculpting, pirouetting through off-kilter frameworks of total dance crud in a remarkable multiplicity of psychedelic variations. 

 Cast from the embers of dubstep’s heyday experienced from his native home of Milan, he temporary relocated to Bristol enjoying an immersive spell in the city’s legendary sound system culture and vibrant alternative music community. Releases on British labels Idle Hands, Swamp81 and Facta & K-Lone's Wisdom Teeth followed, plus a turn for Orson's Version imprint based out of Berlin. 

 Ansia was founded by Piezo in the midst of this, a label acting as his creative appendage for wild dancefloor tools by himself and fellow club deviants characterised by a mischievous attitude and wry humour to both composition and sound design. It is currently 6 releases deep, featuring a mix of various artist compilations and solo turns from Luca himself, including his latest EP ‘Odd Hooks’. 

2020 saw the release of Piezo’s debut album ‘Perdu’, his most substantial work to date, on cult Milanese label Hundebiss run by PAN affiliate STILL, while he also collaborated with artist duo Invernomuto on their BlackMed multimedia project. That same year saw Luca become a participant in the SHAPE roster, a Creative Europe-supported platform for innovative music and audiovisual art. 

 Piezo weighs all of these influences and experiences together with a ferocious appetite for perc-y wrigglers in his celebrated DJ sets and mixes. Applying his limitless ideology to open ended dancefloor narratives, he traverses quite wild bpms and styles with a remarkable flair best exemplified in sets at Terraforma Festival and mixes for Dimensions, Animalia and Crack Magazine. 

 Luca plans another solo EP for later in 2023, plus several remixes and V/A contributions along the way to continue a prolific release schedule.
