Guest Mix 231222 x Holy Similaun @ Paranoise Radio

Starting from December 2021 during a Residency at Palazzo Trevisan degli Ulivi (Pro Helvetia in Venice, Venezia), I concentrated my live practice on playing just one track live, resynthesizing, time stretching and hyper-editing into microloops (as through a microlens) the studio work, now transfigured for the live setting. In this case, and that was the most played during the last year concerts since its release on the Swiss label -OUS in 2022, the track was 'Auras'.

Playing only one long track is for me an exercise in giving the listener an experience of careful immersion into one work, without overexposing the ear with too much informations. It's a work of attention also for me, reimagining a track of a few minutes as one long 'orchestral' work, in a circular structure of differences and repetitions.

'Auras' live @ Villa Filanda Antonini [28.03.23]

Yakamoto Kotzuga - All These Things I Used To Have (Furtherset Remix)

From the album 'Wounds of Melody' (LP + digital), out via Kohlhaas on May 20, 2025
https://furtherset.bandcamp.com/album/wounds-of-melody

Furtherset, the musical project of Venice-based composer and visual artist Tommaso Pandolfi, debuts with his first album for Kohlhaas, the sixth in his career, 'Wounds of Melody'.
A layered image of devastation and beauty, where Renaissance tears merge with the incandescence and violence of phosphorus, the artwork is the first encounter in the emotional itinerary that unfolds in the five tracks making up the LP.

Over its forty-one minutes, the album's beatless but mesmerizing promenade is punctuated by mute, eternal and unexploded melodies. Awaiting and ineffability stand as the compositional pillars of this spellbinding cycle, where each chapter serves as a model and measure for an innermost tour of heartstrings.

A sense of stasis pervades it, anticipating the arrival of something extremely fragile and tender, until a fracture transforms this expectation into great walls of sound. Opposing gravities clash and melt into each other: delicate pads, dislocated echoes, detuned wavetable swirls and stretched leads all converge towards a frail singularity. This sonic rapture vanishes as it appeared, flashing back to the melody, the bass line, and the subtle synthetic timbres, repeated and bit by bit modulated from the beginning, finally eclipsing into evanescent codas.

Through the repetition of structures that gradually rarefy over time, 'Wounds of Melody' aims to evoke and unlock possibilities, echoing Clarice Lispector’s idea of «suppressing facts and privileging sensations.»

01 There's Magic Underwater ( Two Lovers In A Room EP)

Furtherset returns to -OUS with his album ‘To Live Tenderly Anew’, following his EPs ‘To Alter and Affect’ and ‘Drawings of Desire and Hate’. He notes: “I think of my previous two EPs for -OUS and this album as a trilogy, where this album is the final chapter”. Furtherset is in search of hidden connections beyond harmonies and rhythm. Melodies are repeated until they reach their breaking point. Moments of relief are drowned out in densely packed sound. Intensity is maximized to the nth degree, creating a crest point that threatens to overwhelm pre-existing traces of activity completely.

The opening track ‘To Live Tenderly Anew’ begins with a fragile melody, only to erupt into pulsating synthesizer figures that continuously expand, before pulverizing into sharp, noise-flecked fragments, and finally dissolving into an ambient pad. Midway-through ‘The Logic of a Secret’, the music finally sparks into Furtherset’s signature arpeggio patterns, sprinting over a powerful bassline. The album finally climaxes with ‘Choirs of Deception and Truth’, a beatless rave hymn, before it, too, dissolves into deep space. Using only synthesizers, Furtherset creates metamorphic music, drawing on ambient, modern classical and rave, and building on his individual approach to composition, where long fades and periodic cuts continuously transform the scene.

The album’s title references Amelia Rosselli’s 1956 poem ‘Diario in tre lingue’, in which the experimental writer - who was born in exile in Paris, moved to the UK after the murder of her anti-fascist activist father, was educated in the US and finally settled in Rome - charts relations between the Italian, the French & the English. This poem laid the groundwork for her singular trilingual poetry, a body of work engaged in the research of tradition, and how tradition is passed on in disjointed manifestations.
