"At the turning of the day..." celebrates a turning point in my musical career, and the Expert Sleepers disting mk4 and disting EX were a big part of that. Until a year or so before the pandemic I was exclusively a blues, rock and jazz guitarist and played in bands. I gradually switched to modular synthesizer music after being introduced to the ARP Odyssey, Moog Mother 32 and other semi-modular synthesizers as well as getting into the generative ambient music of Brian Eno. I gradually built up a system as I went along, and the disting mk4 was the beginning of that system. The central idea of my setup is that it should be able to do just about anything, or rather, it should be able tackle as many musical ideas that I can throw at it as possible but at the same time fulfill some of the purpose of a band member, hence the large collection of multifunctional and generative modules that reside within it.

The music is non-traditional in its approach to songwriting in the sense that it is not composed with intros, choruses and solos in mind and fans of genres such as Drone and Ambient will feel right at home. Some tracks are loop-based while others make use of evolving melodies to keep you hooked as well as containing prominent guitar parts to contrast the sounds of...  more

'The Seas Restless Soul's' is a track written with E Guitar and Octave Generator, Pre-amp > I used 2 loopers, the EHX 720 and the Boss Loopstation in combination then through the Big Sky CabFilter.  The loops move slowly, and eventually move out of phase, which I like.  I arranged and edited in Ableton, adding a bit of reverb for stereo width, Bass with Omnisphere Plugin, and 
collected Field Recordings.

MORZE

Emma Grace(https://soundcloud.com/emmaline-ginger-1), born in Assisi, 1994 is an American-Italian musician. She started studying cello at the age of 8, then continues studying violin for three years until she decides to proceed on her own independent way.  She lived in Paris and continued her music research in Venice with different projects and various artists and genres, involving music therapy studies. She attends Violin and Electronic Music at Conservatory, giving in to new creative experiences and collaborations, but the school structure it’s too tight to integrate all the rest of the projects, so she continues otherwise. At the age of 22, her first album "Backgrounds" is out, giving birth to her new chapter of raw compositions combining violin and vocals with the simple objective of being true to what she can give. On February 2020 she releases her latest work, Wild Fruits and Red Cheeks. She continues independently, searching for new material, and performing arts involving creativity and community. Now she is based in Nido, a place away from modern cities, an open house, in the middle of Italy, always chanting, always working on new stuff.

What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?

Listening to marbles. I must have been 6-7 years old. I remember I use to keep them in a jar inside the living room's wardrobe and I was going there to listen to them every once and a while, in some occasions, very often, as if it was the highest pleasure of the day. That sound of marbles hitting each other is the first sound where I actually felt almost a sexual pleasure just by listening. Sound as an isolated pleasure, separated from memories, from genres, from ideas and expectations. To stand still, and to listen. And i still love that marbles sound.
