It was love at first listen! The power of the original record "Kiss The Sky" by Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra and Nino Moschella, gives thrill to the italian music composer Erik Strauss. As enthusiast listener of the 90s trip-hop Bristol sound (Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky), he decided to sample it and give it another life: an instrumental version with some cinematic and downtempo feelings along with strings, guitar and vibes.

METAFISICA is the foundation for my upcoming album, due out in 2026.
In Strauss' music, electronic minimal beats meets delicate ambient synths and organic sounds.

GNOTHI SEAUTON is the foundation for my upcoming album, due out in 2026.

GNOTHI SEAUTON

A lot of concrete buildings have been abandoned and nature wants its space back by trying to wrap and break them.
This is the concept behind the album: "Urbanature".

The tracks are heavily influenced by trip-hop and alternative sounds of '90s (Massive Attack, Portishead, Garbage, etc.)

All the photos for the sleeve cover art and labels and music video for "Darkside (a Way to Come Back)" are entirely my own productions.

Thanks to RYAL (Jacqueline Ryal) for lyrics and vocal on "What it's Worth"
Thanks to Ilaria Riccio for lyrics and vocals on "Darkside (a Way to Come Back)"
Thanks to The Gardener (Thomas Hollis) for his guitar on "Devil's Garden"
