We interrupt our ongoing "Best of 2022" feature to take a breath and spend some time with [new] music. Music, after all, does not believe in time, it just becomes into existence when it's ready [sort of like us, but without the self-importance]. It doesn't know that there's a "schedule". It doesn't know that it may fade away before I bring it into existence once more, from the beginning. "Sounds arise from nothing and return to nothing." And so it's ready to be heard. Thus, today, I'm listening to a new piece by an Italian musician and sound artist, Daniele Bogon, who recently got picked up by Slowcraft Records for his upcoming album, Del Suono e Della Luce, scheduled to be released on February 3rd. The track I'm premiering for you today, titled "Prima Luce", is a highly textured, emotive sip of widescreen ambience that is both cerebral and prosaic, just as this form intends to be. It's a perfect introduction to his full length, "a brightly lit electronic work provoking visceral, intense impressions, [on which] the finely judged minimal aesthetic reinforces our long-held belief that less truly is more." Fans of soundscapes, drones, and analogue modular synth frequencies, along with those evoked from Bogon's guitar, hand made instruments, and piano, all captured, reworked and processed through a chain of fuzzy machines, will feel perfectly at home with this music, happy to be interrupted, at any point in time.

TRACK PREMIERE : Daniele Bogon - Prima Luce

A little tune to pass the time I made a few years ago. I'm working on so much new music and hope to be able to share more again in the future. Stay tuned - if you want :)

I believe that music is present in every moment, in every scene. We can feel music relatively easily when those scenes are easy to understand and impressive, of course, but when they are not, for example, I think this is especially true in situations that are too mundane, too ordinary, or seemingly unrelated to music.

I can never hear it, but I think I hear it. Only after it has taken shape as a piece of music do I feel that this is how it must have sounded at the time. And the question of whether it was right or not will never be answered. But by questioning things that are becoming just a shell and looking at things from a different angle, we can gain a new perspective.

Questions always come up and I try to answer them somehow, but they always elude me. So by continuing to create my work, I manage to find my own answers to different questions at different times.

In this day and age, when all that is valued is how easy, quick and simple it is to get answers, it would be nice to have a few more people who are willing to face questions that will never be answered.
