Motorcycle Angel (Bedouin Records 2022)

[surf029]

As a current participant at the Recurse Center in NYC, I’ve had the pleasure of exploring new forms of composition, most specifically in the Python programming language. At first I was focused on writing my library of compositional tools that work with MIDI data, though I was soon introduced to the idea of data sonification through another “recurser”, Edith Viau (MTL), who explores the subject through her Financialist project. Edith seemed to be the only other person at RC exploring the subject already and we soon formed the Data Sonification Group at RC thereafter.
Sonifications of Price consists of two compositions written in Python, mapped to the prices of Bitcoin and Gold, respectively. “Bitcoin” represents the price everyday from 2010-2021 and “Gold” represents the price each month since 1950.
Large and invisible forces run our modern world and often they can feel exceptionally abstract, and even scary within the context of our lives. This work is an attempt to demystify their scale and convey a translation of power.

Margate With Frankie

@mondoriviera is the moniker of Ravenna-based musician and visual artist Lorenzo Camera. Producing music at the crossroad between late-night z-series horror movie soundtracks, 2d modular synthesis digital soundscapes and new-school plunderphonics, after his debut “Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio” on New Weird Italian label Riforma, and the folk-vaporwave soundtrack for videogame Nott Longa on Artetetra, Mondoriviera is back with 10 new tracks jumping from the golden era of glossy horror VHS to new millennium goblin muzak and sonic delusions.

At the threshold between early 2000s music videos nostalgia, childhood memories and digital drifts, the second album by Lorenzo Camera, aka mondoriviera, explores the sentimental impacts of contemporary archetypes in our imagery with the help of post-vaporwave sounds. [The life of] “Frenton Cantolay", a parody of 'Frampton Comes Alive', the 1976 pop record, is a sonic journey into a contemporary Olympus inhabited by spiritually-corrupted zombies. In this parallel world, zombie celebrities, only apparently outside the afflictions of life, live at the mercy of Fortune, praying to the graces of the Goddess who exists above all world's logic.

Yet every success reveals the arbitrariness of their path; Fortune brutally elevates people to heaven only to eat their heads alive, while the mass keeps working, alienated, just to sustain their futile concatenation of needs. A timeless hero, the zombie Frenton Cantolay attempts to rise from mere worker to superstar, chasing unattainable dreams without accepting that we are not the same in this Olympus.

Echoing pastiches of pastiches of theories and pieces of lost media, mondoriviera's album reflects on the afterlife of 2000s musical archetypes and at the same time tries to open up alternative futures. A glitching pornography of our mediatic times, the zombie is a character that questions our deepest desires and social constructs. Is there an alternative?

The scratchy, phantasmagoric sounds of Mondoriviera create a sense of alienation and possibility. After the psychedelia and Creepshow's imagery already present in Lorenzo's debut record 'Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio', this album represents a further hallucination, a soundscape for an unrealised deranged metaphysical videoclip, a crooked ballad for a love yet to come.
