Nothing's like home. A place we can return to, whatever happened, whoever we are. A place that doesn't judge but listens.

There should be a home for everyone. A refuge, somewhere. A quiet place to be tended like a garden. Whether it has walls of air or bricks, or is bordered by skies and mountains, or by flesh and bones. "Will I find my true home inside myself?"

Nothing's like home.

Alessandro Barbanera is an Italian musician and composer based in Assisi. He moves in ambient, drone, and electroacoustic genres, using guitars, synths, tape machines, field recordings, and found sounds, seeking a sound that combines experimentation, artisanal approach, and emotional impact.

Nothing Like Home

Nowhere (Inner Refuge)

To Drift So Far

Collection of recorded fragments from 2025

Earth is a reservation we share, but it takes cooperation, not denigration.

Native reservation  Letra y música: Luis Días

You been so bad with me
that I don't want it
to be your neighbor
or call you brother
You been so bad with me
that I don't want it
to walk your street
or drink your water

Native reservation we are
we are living in New York city
but you never wonder why
Looking for solutions we are
but you never listen to me
you are the one with the burro heart
but you never listen to the music

you've been so cynical
that I don't want it
to bend my knee
to pray no more
people is going crazy
but you don't care
you have your guns
your jails your orders

Native reservation we are
you're killing our fight for freedom everywhere
Looking for solutions we are
you're killing our fight for freedom everywhere
and I need to be alive. Oh!
but the sun someday will shine
but the sun someday will shine

I'm in the process of renovating/updating various aspects of my studio, adding new hardware/software. New music on the way.

I'm a believer in true social interaction on SC, having intelligent dialogue with artists, and giving personal feedback that is (hopefully) more inspired than "Nice."  There are a lot of decent artists here not attempting to "go viral", sharing great music that deserves to be heard and not drowned out by bots.  Encouragement/criticism promotes growth, so say something worth something.
