Matteo, this is exquisite beyond compare. You've created such a special atmosphere with this piece. I am quite moved. Thank you for producing this stunning music.

Interesting and very compelling sounds.. Lovely tune..:):)

Ambient 6

Moved house over the past few months. Been without a music nook for far too long now. Put this together at a makeshift desk with only headphones for monitoring. It might sound a bit wonky.

ANALOGIC WAVES _ (Ambient /Electro)

This song was inspired by reading Stoic philosophy whilst listening to Professor Longhair. I recommend both!

Tralalalala (with Georg Böhme)

Socks with holes are a metaphor that imitates "I'm in fashion" and feels embarrassed to abandon my personality in music production.
After the announcement of the previous work, a Japanese woman advised me, "If you can't throw away socks with holes, you should wear two socks on top of each other."
-------------------------------------------------
I have to overcome the restrictions of the brilliant works that have already been disseminated, and show my creativity, though scarce, to change them into new experimental ones. I decided to start from my own composition method and use the fashion for a little seasoning. It's embarrassing, but it doesn't stand out if you stack two.

MAGNETIC SERIES – Album – Format: CD, Digital – Releases September 20, 2024

“I’ve always had a deep connection with magnetic tape. Since the end of the ’80s, when I was just a kid, musical experimentation was inextricably linked to that medium, to the tapes that filled my days. Every recording, every edit, every sound etched onto those tapes represented my first naive steps into the world of music. It was a way to explore, to get to know myself and the sounds I could create.

Then, in the late ’90s, the introduction to Minidiscs and, later, HD recording changed everything. Daily interaction with tape seemed like a thing of the past, forgotten in favor of newer, more immediate, and versatile technologies. But that magic, that physicality, was hard to replace.

Over the years, I’ve watched with curiosity as magnetic tape made its return to the tables of ambient and experimental music creators. I realized that many had already rediscovered and embraced this medium, while for others, it had never really gone away. I, on the other hand, was much slower to return. But it was precisely through the works of other artists that I found the drive to immerse myself once again in this dimension, more convinced than ever.

Since 2020, after some attempts to incorporate tape elements into my compositions, I began to explore this path more seriously. I started creating tracks where the use of magnetic tape wasn’t just an accessory, but an expressive end in itself. “Magnetic Series” is not a concept album in the traditional sense, but rather a collection of tracks created between 2020 and 2024, united by a common thread: the manipulation of tape in various forms, from cassette loops to reel-to-reel, from slowed-down/speed-up tracks to entire mix passed through tape.

Beyond the allure of nostalgia and the fun that this medium provides, magnetic tape offers something unique: an intransigence that digital lacks. While digital allows you infinite possibilities, tape forces you to make definitive choices, pushing you into a creative process that permits no compromises. And perhaps it’s this very unyielding nature that makes it so fascinating and valuable.“

GarageBand Dream

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.
