Of My Mind (42 Cent Hotline Remix)

1. (Zool./Folk anthropology) A Sicilian creature whose grey matter has solidified into a
clay-like form; it is characterized by its absolute inability to react to external stimuli,
especially of a humorous nature. Encountering a cataprasima may cause social
awkwardness and sudden silences in convivial conversations.
2. (Folk medicine) A poultice made of various flours and medicinal herbs, cooked for a
long time until reaching a soft, sticky consistency; applied to wounds, burns, or
bruises, it was believed to promote healing. However, it tended to slip away, requiring
constant attention from the caregiver.

"Decomposizione : Riforma", the new album by 42 Cent Hotline, explores two coexisting processes: decomposition, which dissolves matter, and reform, which generates new forms. They do not follow one another but intertwine, establishing a constant tension in which every disintegration already carries the seeds of a possible reconfiguration.

Rooted in Mediterranean folklore, the project emerges from a close listening to the Sicilian landscape, marked by its recurring water crisis. In this work, drought becomes a concrete presence, surfacing in the soundscape, in the acoustic materials and textures, revealing both the fragility and resilience of a land in deterioration.

Signs and sounds of Sicilian tradition are transformed and reterritorialized. Rhythms of folk dances and funeral marches intertwine with sampled voices and traditional instruments, merging with digital synthesis to create unprecedented sonic territories, where memory is not a relic but a living fabric in which the past resurfaces from fossil residues.

From this interweaving, a moving sonic universe arises: bodies crumble and regenerate, territories breathe with difficulty, archaic dances surface like echoes of an arid era. The tracks generate an ecosystem in perpetual metamorphosis, with ridges, fractures and shifts perceived as living matter, narrating the inner transformation of those who try to recompose the syntax of a dying land.

In this context, "Decomposizione : Riforma" presents itself as a sculpture of sound. The album does not narrate metamorphosis: it is the very field of forces, the place where putrefaction and generation merge into a single, relentless physical event. Acoustic change produces unforeseen morphologies and restores to sound the ability to reconnect humans with the land and its memories, transforming music into a corporeal landscape to inhabit, shape and perceive as one’s own.
