Suffering From Aberration, Nowadays (2021)

The Very Idea Of Home

experimental musician/soundmaker from Apuliae
Born in 1978

Welcome here to everyone.

I hope what you'll hear inspires you.

For your growth or fall
Through the cathartic world of sounds 
that I try to propose. 

A test area 

A search for meaning 
Of this passage for ours.

Sound as a primordial frequency
Before any acquired significance

If what you hear resonates with your tuning fork
A like and a repost would be of great support.

May your journey be pleasant and constructive
in this sea of instants called life

The eternity of our days.



Dude from the hills. Thankyou for taking the time to listen and supporting my works, it is very much appreciated.

My new EP, 'all of heaven is against you' under CRSY is out now. Check it out via the links below :-) if you'd like a free code for the Bandcamp release then just give us a shout
Still CRSY, just fancied a name change 😁

A transcendental sound journey.

Creator and conductor of electronic and orchestral music: "In the best moments, in the flow, we are guided by heaven".

Creative Stations:
70s: My first tape deck at the age of 8. I created batches of mix tapes—much to the chagrin of my parents and neighbors.

80s: A mixer and two turntables. Even more to the chagrin of my neighbors. A short stint as a DJ at the Munich club Black Box—until the club went bankrupt... oh, oh.

90s: Creating my own music with Cubase 1.0, an Atari, and a Korg M1 synthesizer (no music theory, no teacher). The results were quite trivial… and it wasn’t the equipment, lol.
And then, yet another club where I worked as a DJ went bankrupt—oh dear!

That was too much: A major crisis, sold my equipment, took a long break—just listening to music and dancing. Then came philosophy, photography, and graphic/web design.

2018: A life without making music is possible but, for me, pointless!
A fresh start with Cubase Pro, new equipment, and new energy.

NOW: I feel at home!!!
A huge thank you to my wife for her love, support, and patience, to my Zen teachers for their spiritual guidance, and to the amazing SoundCloud community for their inspiration and support.

Hei!

It's difficult to categorize my music into just one genre. It draws influence from trip hop, breakbeat, instrumental and abstract hip hop, heavy rock, techno, minimal, sound art, contemporary, glitch, and more!

I admire many artists, and you might detect their influence in my work. Among the best are Daft Punk and Massive Attack, followed by 90s Ninja Tune artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, and Kid Koala. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of them live at the legendary Ilosaari Rock festivals. I also appreciate French hip hop, particularly Le Peuple de l'herbe. Other inspirations include The Prodigy, Portishead, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Moby, Mono, Thievery Corporation, Future Sound of London, and more. My taste spans from acid jazz and funk to lo-fi and even punk or hard metal, depending on my mood.

I've been making music since the early 2000s, starting with MadTracker software (I am fine with the program name). A few years ago, I transitioned to music production with Ableton Live 10, and I'm currently using version 12. Some of my tracks are experimental, stemming from explorations over the past 20 years, while others are entirely new compositions. This experimentation is perhaps influenced by my background in research—I'm eager to explore new territories, including music.

Nature is my second passion. I tend to a micro-farm in the summer, raising sheep and chickens and restoring it to its traditional biohabitat. In the winter, I evade to the city and brood there, craving for the countryside's spring, summer, and autumn... or dreaming being in hot and sunny place by a sea or river...

I'm open to collaborations, akin to scientific endeavors where novel and exciting outcomes emerge from teamwork. Feel free to reach out!

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my SoundCloud friends, website visitors, and music listeners. This community is truly remarkable!
