Beautiful sounds. Reminds me slightly of The Caretaker's work. Well done.

Our initial dialog with Synthia was an adventurous creative endeavour that made us question whether machines could have a soul. This one definitely spoke her mind, and left a fascinating mark on both of us as a wondrous machine––––––woman, a marvelous piece of engineering, an entity trapped in a modular eternity.

Considering that neither of us had any previous contact with such a complex modular system such as EMS Synthi 100, we took a somewhat intuitive approach. This is a fairly raw glimpse of the first days spent in the studio.

Oh, Synthia, we only just met...

Happy birthday Mark!!!

The Doldrums w/ Tides (Aberdeenshire) - 06-Mar-24

First track using the mixer from Tascam 424 only for @Full-orchestra sample challenge using Matriarch, Digitakt and Elka ER33;
A bit rough and blurry tune using the werp sample machine from the Elektron Digitakt on the space probe original sample. It gives interesting glitchy textures in my opinion.

The Buddhist term "諸行無常 Shogyo Mujo" means that "all things are in a constant state of flux, and nothing remains unchanged. This piece embodies that and is constantly changing. It will never be completed forever, and it will always be completed.

I keep track of the dates when I make changes to the track. Buy it when you like it best. Don't forget to download the sound file at that time; if you just keep the track on Bandcamp, any changes I make to the track after that may be reflected in the sound file.

諸行無常とは「万物は常に流転し、不変のものはない」ことを意味する仏教用語です。この曲はそれを体現しており、絶えず変化し続けます。永遠に完成することはありませんし、また常に完成しています。

曲に変化を加えた日付を記しています。あなたが最も気に入った時点で購入してください。その時、忘れずに音源をダウンロードしてください。Bandcamp上で曲を保持しているだけだと、その後、曲に加えた変化がそのファイルに反映される可能性があります。

Experiment 1 - 諸行無常

Carlo Giustini "Custodi" LP

Is it possible to capture the sound of a state of being, of a memory, of a past sensation? 
Is there a possibility to translate a thought which once was into vibrational waves?
Behind this concept is based much of this work, this research carried out in the early autumn days of 2018.
The spark that started this research came by chance, or rather this spark was manifested to me in a place full of heavy memory, full of words, rich of dense and contradictory emotions. It was mid-August and I was at the local central bar in my neighborhood in Sant’Angelo. At the bar counter I happened to hear a tale that struck me in particular: a gentleman holding a glass of merlot told a friend the story of the tragic end of the custodians of Villa Letizia:
Villa Letizia is an ancient Venetian villa located inside the national park of the river Sile, a structure of the 18th century located right in front of my house, a villa which I see every day from my window while I have breakfast in the kitchen.
The two custodians of this villa, husband and wife, lived there for several years at the beginning of the 20th century, probably passing most of their life between the thick and cold walls of the mansion, keeping alive and safe it’s beauty, learning to recognize it’s sound and voice, it’s hidden messages. Every day single day for who knows how many years they observed the same landscape that I observe. Enjoying the song of the same birds, listening to the same gurgling of the river Sile that crosses the lawn.

Well what really hit me in the story of that gentleman was the dynamics of the death of the two custodians.
According to his story, the husband was quite a connoisseur of mushrooms. One morning, however, he committed a fatal mistake, picking up what he thought were mere white mushrooms, but instead they were none other than Amanita Phalloide (or angel of death), a very poisonous mushroom that at first can be confused with several other edible species.
The two keepers, unaware of their destiny, cooked and ate the Amanita, dying the next day with excruciating liver pains.
This research of mine is dedicated to this couple of lovers, of workers, of simple people linked to a specific place, a place that I also feel mine.
I tried to capture the scent of their essence, their memory, their past movements, collecting most of the field recordings in the gardens of Villa Letizia. Capturing it’s mellow and gloomy song,  hoping to find traces of the non fading memory of who once was but probably never left.

All field recordings have been recorded through a couple of walkmans and a microcassette tape recorder.
The track "La sala più a Nord" contains recordings of my kitchen and my movements mixed up with field recordings captured in the Northern side of the garden of Villa Letizia, (no musical instruments were used on this track).
Track 1 and 3 and 4 are first single takes.
To assimilate the full sound spectrum of these recordings and feel it's hidden tones & octaves, a pretty high volume is recommended.
