Due Collisioni

Due collisioni

Album - Format: CD, Digital - Releases January 20, 2023

Everyday life is often filled with many small anxieties that we deal with by simply pretending they do not exist.
Sometimes they thicken beyond the horizon of our field of vision, turning into a sense of impending danger, a floating leviathan, an immense bird of prey hiding in the clouds above the skyscrapers ready to grab us. Our only defence is to try to ignore it, hoping that oblivion will slowly devour it, relegating it to another plane of existence.
And sometimes, it is simply like dreaming of suffocating...

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.“

--- Dario Sleeps (and Dreams of Eating) ---

This is a track that is very dear to me, composed at the beginning of October 2001.

The title comes from the fact that on the night I wrote this piece, my dear friend and artist Dario Panzeri was staying at my house. While I was composing he was sleeping on the sofa. When I finished, he woke up and told me he had a strange dream about eating a baby.

In a way, this piece could be seen as an unintentional attempt to tap into his dream from the outside. Or vice versa...

The sounds are quite raw and Mix and master are quite poor. I used the default soundbank of Apple QuickTime, along with the default reverb plugin from Cubase VST for Mac. Over the years, I’ve tried many times to replace the original sounds with higher-quality ones, but nothing ever felt quite right—nothing could recapture the mysterious atmosphere of the first version, which was meant to be just a draft but ultimately remained unchanged.

Dario Dorme is part of the soundtrack for The Mills of God Grind Slowly (2001–2004), a short film consisting of seven video animation episodes by Riccardo Arena. It serves as featured music for the episode in which a reworked version of Magritte’s painting L'Empire des lumières slowly transforms into its opposite.

For those interested in learning more about Dario’s and Riccardo’s work, I highly recommend visiting their websites—you won’t regret it.

--- Dario dorme (e sogna di mangiare) ---
Questo è un brano che mi è molto caro, composto all'inizio di ottobre del 2001.
Il titolo deriva dal fatto che la notte in cui ho scritto questo brano, il mio caro amico e artista Dario Panzeri era ospite a casa mia. Mentre componevo, lui dormiva sul divano. Quando ho finito, si è svegliato e mi ha detto di aver fatto uno strano sogno in cui mangiava un bambino.
In un certo senso, questo pezzo potrebbe essere visto come un tentativo involontario di entrare dall'esterno nel suo sogno. O viceversa...
I suoni sono piuttosto grezzi e il mix + master sono piuttosto scadenti. Avevo usato la soundbank predefinita di Apple QuickTime, insieme al plugin di riverbero predefinito di Cubase VST per Mac. Nel corso degli anni, ho provato più volte a sostituire i suoni originali con altri di qualità superiore, ma nulla mi è mai sembrato giusto, nulla è riuscito a recuperare l'atmosfera misteriosa della prima versione, che doveva essere solo una bozza ma che alla fine è rimasta invariata.
"Dario Dorme" fa parte della colonna sonora di "The Mills of God Grind Slowly" (2001-2004), un cortometraggio composto da sette episodi di video animazione di Riccardo Arena. È la musica dell'episodio in cui una versione rielaborata del dipinto di Magritte "L'Empire des lumières" si trasforma lentamente nel suo opposto.
Per chi fosse interessato a saperne di più sul lavoro di Dario e Riccardo, consiglio vivamente di visitare i loro siti web: non ve ne pentirete.

Dario Dorme (2001)

"DNA" is a piece I feel particularly attached to. I composed it back between 1999 and 2000, and it was first presented as the closing track of Eterociclica, a collection inspired by a series of chemical molecules known as heterocycles. Each track drew inspiration from a specific molecule, and DNA aimed to sonically represent the macromolecule itself, with its intricate, modular structure.

The track was written using samples of percussion instruments, piano, Hammond organ, strings, and electric guitar. The only real instrument recorded is the electric guitar. At the time, I had just started exploring digital composition, and MIDI along with notation software were my primary tools — new and exciting territory for me.

Among the sparse and tentative pieces from those early years, DNA has remained my favorite — even 25 years later.

---

"DNA" è un brano a cui sono particolarmente affezionato. L’ho composto tra il 1999 e il 2000, ed è stato presentato per la prima volta all’interno della raccolta Eterociclica, un progetto ispirato a una serie di molecole chimiche appartenenti alla famiglia degli eterocicli. Ogni brano nasceva da una suggestione molecolare, e DNA, che chiude la raccolta, rappresenta una visione sonora della macromolecola, con la sua struttura complessa e modulare.

Il brano è stato scritto utilizzando campioni di strumenti a percussione, piano, organo Hammond, archi e chitarra elettrica. L’unico strumento suonato realmente è proprio quest’ultima. All’epoca mi ero avvicinato da poco alla composizione digitale: il MIDI e i software di scrittura erano strumenti nuovi e affascinanti, che esploravo con grande curiosità.

Tra le mie prime composizioni – timide, sparse – DNA è rimasta la mia preferita, anche a distanza di 25 anni.

DNA (2000)

An Uncalculated Impurity (2003)

Created in 2003, An Uncalculated Impurity was a video/live set built around the real-time staging of R. L. Stevenson’s novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

I composed the entire soundtrack, inspired by the aesthetics of silent cinema and designed to interact live with the projections by By TATIANA, STEREODACTYLUS, UNZ, BO130, GGT, and MICROBO.
All sounds were produced using a very early version of HALion, running Akai libraries from the previous decade — a setup that today feels almost archaeological.

The performance lasted about one hour.
After many years, I decided to gather the original musical material on SoundCloud, preserving it exactly as it was in 2003.

Un’impurità non calcolata (2003)

Realizzato nel 2003, Un’impurità non calcolata è un video/live set basato sulla messa in scena in tempo reale del romanzo di R. L. Stevenson Lo strano caso del Dottor Jekyll e Mr. Hyde.

Ho composto interamente la colonna sonora ispirandomi allo stile del cinema muto, pensandola per interagire dal vivo con le proiezioni curate da By TATIANA, STEREODACTYLUS, UNZ, BO130, GGT e MICROBO.
I suoni furono realizzati con una vecchissima versione di HALion, utilizzando librerie Akai risalenti al decennio precedente, in un contesto tecnico ormai quasi archeologico.

La performance aveva una durata di circa un’ora.
Dopo molto tempo ho deciso di raccogliere su SoundCloud il materiale musicale originale, lasciandolo esattamente com’era nel 2003.

March 15, 2020. The first hidden sound page from isolation diary.
From A Spring Diary, released May 24, 2020
Performed & Recorded by Matteo Mariano in 2020

March 15 is the first of a series of 4 tracks collected in the album "A Spring Diary". All of these were written during the first major lockdown in Italy that went from March to May 2020. This strange period of closure took me back to the spring of five years earlier, in 2015, when a series of situations and concerns brought my family and me to experience a sort of unspoken "family lockdown" to the outside world.
"A Spring Diary" is a book of notes of discordant moods, between hope and uncertainty, lived between waiting and trying to take advantage of the imposed pause to rework the past.

March 15 è la prima di una serie di 4 tracce raccolte nell'album "A Spring Diary". Tutte queste sono state scritte durante il primo grande lockdown che in Italia è andato da Marzo a Maggio del 2020. Questo strano periodo di chiusura mi portò indietro alla primavera di cinque anni prima, nel 2015, quando una serie di situazioni e preoccupazioni portarono la mia famiglia e me a vivere una sorta di "lockdown familiare" inespresso verso l'esterno. 
"A Spring Diary" è un libro di appunti di stati d'animo discordanti, tra speranza e incertezza, vissuti tra l'attesa e cercare di sfruttare la pausa imposta per rielaborare il passato.

All that I did not understand, Story of an afternoon and Under Antonio Ceriani / Tutto quello che non ho capito, Storia di un pomeriggio e Sotto Antonio Ceriani

These three songs are constructed in a very similar way, practically recording short guitar patterns and creating loops by re-editing them and processing them with the same outboard. They were also the easiest tracks of the selection to restore as they were kept on multi-track format. All three tracks are directly inspired by Pietro Puccio's paintings. Between the distressing expectation of Under Antonio Ceriani and the lazy and lukewarm pace of the Story of an afternoon, my favorite has always been All that I did not understand, with that mass of unknown emerging from the depths of the canvas and swallowing all the forms and colors.
***

Questi tre brani sono costruiti in modo molto simile, in pratica registrando dei brevi pattern di chitarra e creando loop rimaneggiandoli e passandoli dagli stessi macchinari. Sono stati anche i più facili della raccolta da restaurare in quanto tenuti in multi-traccia. Tutti e tre i brani sono ispirati direttamente da dei quadri di Pietro Puccio. Tra l'attesa desolante di Sotto Antonio Ceriani e il pigro e tiepido incedere di Storia di un pomeriggio, il mio preferito è sempre stato Tutto quello che non ho capito, con quella massa di ignoto che emergeva dal fondo della tela e ingoiava le forme e i colori.

"Metafonia" is the Italian word that identifies the phenomenon known in parapsychology as "electronic voices". Metafonia VI is the first track in order of publication, and the last in order of numbering, of a series of compositions inspired by this phenomenon.
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.
The project is to release all the tracks, one or two at a time, between today and the evening of October 31st (as per pagan tradition), to collect them in a single album that will be available on Bandcamp ...

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. 
Il progetto è di rilasciare tutte le tracce, una o due per volta, tra oggi e la sera del 31 ottobre (come da tradizione pagana), per raccoglierle in un unico album che sarà disponibile su Bandcamp...
