Next To You (Shimmering Moods Records)

I believe that music is present in every moment, in every scene. We can feel music relatively easily when those scenes are easy to understand and impressive, of course, but when they are not, for example, I think this is especially true in situations that are too mundane, too ordinary, or seemingly unrelated to music.

I can never hear it, but I think I hear it. Only after it has taken shape as a piece of music do I feel that this is how it must have sounded at the time. And the question of whether it was right or not will never be answered. But by questioning things that are becoming just a shell and looking at things from a different angle, we can gain a new perspective.

Questions always come up and I try to answer them somehow, but they always elude me. So by continuing to create my work, I manage to find my own answers to different questions at different times.

In this day and age, when all that is valued is how easy, quick and simple it is to get answers, it would be nice to have a few more people who are willing to face questions that will never be answered.

Taken from the album "Retrograde Amnesia" by Xu & Oberlin, released on Slow Tone Collages:


The record delves into the haunting history of the former psychiatric hospital in Colorno (Parma – Italy, in use from 1873 to 1978). Titled "Retrograde Amnesia”, it explores the lives of patients who were once confined to the institution, many of whom were forgotten by society. 
The hospital, which is now abandoned, was once home to over a thousand patients, including those who were deemed "dangerous" or "marginalized" by society. Among them were prostitutes, alcoholics, vagabonds, and even small children. The psychiatrists who worked at the institution were free to experiment with new treatments, including practices such as electroshock and frontal lobotomy. While these doctors saw themselves as innovators and experimenters, many of the patients were no longer considered people. One of the devastating consequences of the treatments administered at the hospital was retrograde amnesia, which is the loss of memories of past events. Many patients who underwent these treatments were left with gaps in their memory, unable to recall important moments of their lives, as their identities were fragmented and their shared human experiences obliterated. Forgotten by society and stripped of their own sense of self, they were consigned to the shadows of history. 
"Retrograde Amnesia" is a haunting and emotional record that aims to shed light on the lives of these forgotten patients. Through the use of ambient soundscapes and atmospheric textures, the music captures the sense of isolation and despair that many of the patients must have felt. Enveloped in the echoes of empty corridors and abandoned rooms, one easily feels consumed by the weight of the lives that once occupied these desolate spaces.
