Francesco Gennari is trained as a classical pianist and he commits himself to sound exploration through modular synth practice as further evolution of his musical journey. Gennari's origins are with black and white keys, noise-punk bands and DIY instrument building. This stunning debut, titled Frammenti, is the culmination of all of Gennari's interests.

Through simple ideas developed with classical techniques like counterpoint and harmonic expansions, Francesco uses the modular setup as a virtual companion, allowing him to do what he wants while remaining open to what the machine whispers to him.

Francesco’s music charms with minimal rhythmic patterns, sonic manipulation and lush ambient soundscapes comprised of short ideas full of variations.

Highly recommended to fans of Caterina Barbieri, Jessica Ekomane, Alessandro Cortini

Frammenti

Francesco Gennnari - Ardere - From Frammenti Tape - 5.5.23

This is a work in progress, and I'll circle back and write some lyrics for the chorus.


the real estate man
shook my hand
and motioned to the houses
on the dessert floor

you know my friend
i can call you friend?
one of them could be yours

though I’d choose the one
with the highest walls

yeah choose the one
with the highest walls

because you can never be certain
in uncertain times

yeah you can never be certain
in uncertain times

they found my name in a scammers' database
they'd been targeting those from the new estate
where all the meals are from the freezer section
and the street-signs point in confusing directions

yeah the street-signs point in confusing directions
in confusing directions

A city is often a cacophonous space. Of course, cacophony comes in many forms. The roar of the ocean can feel cacophonous, as can the intensity of surrounding bug life in the wild. The cacophony of the city is unique from those other forms because the noise comes not from manifest dense uniformity but from myriad distinct, often unidentifiable sources acting as if at once. All this was running through my mind as I stood on a corner in San Francisco listening as hotel workers were engaged in a lively strike halfway down the block. The noise of their activity joined with that of passing foot and automobile traffic to create something that was at once noisier than a normal Thursday afternoon, and yet also that perpetuated the city’s ability to absorb all sounds into one sound. No matter the sounds, it was the sound of the city.
