AN ELECTRONIC VOICES ALBUM

"Metafonia" is the Italian word that identifies the phenomenon known in parapsychology as "electronic voices".

- Metafonia II, IV and V are the less edited tracks, in order to leave the spirit of improvisation unchanged. Ideally these three represent a second volume within the first volume.

Each piece was made starting from vocal samples recorded and processed in real time with a laptop (and with the addition of some synths). The only voice behind these pieces is mine (at least I think, and above all I hope, even if I can never be completely sure), recorded while I was improvising random phrases, as if I were my own medium.

I waited a long time before deciding to finish and release this series of songs, the gloomy atmosphere of this end of October 2020 made me realize that it was time to let them go.

"Metafonia" è la parola italiana che identifica il fenomeno noto in parapsicologia come "voci elettroniche".

- Metafonia II, IV e V sono le tracce meno editate, in modo da lasciare invariato lo spirito dell'improvvisazione. Idealmente queste tre rappresentano un secondo volume dentro il primo volume.

Ogni brano stato è realizzato a partire da campioni vocali registrati ed elaborati in tempo reale con un laptop (e con l'aggiunta di un po' di synth). L'unica voce alla base di questi brani è la mia (almeno credo, e soprattutto spero, anche se non potrò mai esserne del tutto certo), registrata mentre improvvisavo frasi casuali, come fossi il medium di me stesso.

Ho aspettato diverso tempo prima di decidere di terminare e pubblicare questa serie di brani, l'atmosfera cupa di questo fine di ottobre 2020 mi ha fatto capire che era arrivato il momento di lasciarli andare.

Sovrastati

Tried playing back in the room through speakers for drum and bass loud into a room. An external sampler allows you to track simultaneously while laying down bass. I think there is something about knowing the track you are playing to is being tracked at the same moment ensures that they always fit together. I used a beat up SP-202 for the beat that I resoldered in a crazy way, the board was cracked and I can't believe it still works. Cant remember where I got the drum sample might have been Max? I sat on this basic track for a long time, then imported phrases to Ableton ,which I have never really used, and hashed out a rough arrangement, Then did a bunch of overdubs which I ended up erasing. I think I enjoyed the more stripped down sound then the crazy sounds I was throwing on top. Its been a wild year. I didn't get much music done, probably my worst output for a year. Its a tough fight finding the time an energy and then keeping your head on what your doing. Sometimes it works to just re-work the whole thing from another angle and cut harshly. Hope all you future people reading this are taking care of this world. We all wanted to be the generation that did it, but the greedy pricks slipped into power, and corruption seems to only work in one direction, rarely are people corrupted into being more compassionate.
