What's in a name?
“Almendra” is the Spanish name of the almond, the fruit whose earliest varieties came from China, carried via the Silk Road to the Middle East and the countries which surround the Mediterranean Sea. The word "almond" comes from the Greek αμυγδαλη (amygdalē), an almond, and "amygdala" is how is now called the brain structure which has a key role in the processing and memory of emotions.
The almond is highly revered in many cultures all over the World. Explorers ate almonds as sustenance as they travelled the Silk Road. In the Old Testament, the almond was a symbol of watchfulness and promise due to its early flowering. In classical times Romans tossed almonds at the bride and groom to wish the couple fertility, prosperity and luck. In India, eating almonds is believed to be good for the brain, and the Chinese consider the almond a symbol of female beauty.
Modern nutritional science shows that almonds are incredibly rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and research cannot stress enough the health benefits of a regular consumption of these precious gifts Nature gives us.
Nowadays almonds are products of excellence local to Almendra Music's homeland, Sicily.

Visionarietà digitale, interferenze analogiche, metafisica da ballare, grovigli di bass music, groove tanto potenti quanto eleganti, che colpiscono dritto alla mente partendo dal corpo che vibra: dall'IDM all'Intelligent Music, attraverso la porta di servizio dell'EDM.

I primi sintomi sono stati la IDM di Alva Noto, Fennesz e To Rococo Rot. La musica elettronica classica di Parmegiani, Schockhausen, Schaeffer e Wishart ha aggravato il quadro clinico. La consultazione con Boys Noize e i Public Enemy ha condotto alla diagnosi. La cura la fornisce il Dr.LR - Frankenstein elettronico postEDM composto dai producer Danilo Romancino e Luca Rinaudo – con potenti pozioni di beat electro/fidget e droni in Csound e MaxMSP, deliri glitch e microbeat saltellanti a dosi forzate di cassa in quattro. La prognosi non è rassicurante, e comunque la si conoscerà solo ballando.
