Three Movements for Solo Mind 
(poem by IB from About Sounds About Us)
I.
In the realm of the mind
the smallest degrees of possibility
are not discrete, they stand continuous.

II.
There are absences that
break and sever, for certain objects 
are untouchable, intangible.

If you are not, I do not exist.

III.
Birds will be ready soon
upon the field.
Migrating is the promise of return.

They burnt our homeland down. 
We flew away.

(Italian)
I.
Nel regno della mente
i più piccoli gradi di possibilità
non sono discreti, appaiono continui.

II.
Ci sono assenze che
spezzano e recidono, alcuni oggetti 
sono intoccabili, intangibili.

Se tu non sei, io non esisto.

III.
Gli uccelli si stanno preparando 
nel campo.
la migrazione è promessa di ritorno.

Hanno bruciato la nostra terra. 
Siamo volati via.

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.“
