Debut Album from the Milan based sound designer, composer, and graphic artist Anor Londo (@mrcfsl).

Caos & Materia (lit. Chaos and Matter) stems from an analogy between hermetic philosophy and Anor Londo's mindset.

Chaos is perceived as the aggregator of all opposites in a state of undifferentiated dissolution.
In alchemy, Chaos is identified as the “first matter” and is considered a confused mass from which the “lapis” must emerge: the element capable of healing the corruption of matter.

Alchemy is rooted in the unique method of manipulating concrete substances, and in the same way the author gives substance to his vision through an equally personal method of refining.

Understanding the forms and relationships of matter means understanding the foundations of reality - a form of meditation. To compose his sounds, he explores auto-generative and semi-generative solutions.

A stream of consciousness that, from initial chaos, finds its new form through cycles of synthesis and elaboration - a form that reveals itself as an intermediary between Spirit and Matter.

Caos & Materia EP

Anor Londo - Ottaedro (Il principio dei numeri pari) - from Caos & Materia

‘Evolve’ is the first full length album from composer, music producer and violinist Vito Gatto, a concept album that guides the listener on a one-way journey through the various phases of an imaginary evolutionary process.

For this work, Vito decided to put himself in a restricted composing and technical environment; all the arpeggiated sounds on the album are made from one single violin note that Vito sampled. He transforms the same note throughout the entire album, using the different treatment of this micro sample and the arpeggiator programming as the construction of a mutating and evolving structure.

The album is Instinctively executed, almost improvised, and elements like distorted bass lines, hardcore inspired percussions, whistles and alienating string melodies represent unexpected alterations. Vito decided to keep these instinctive additions clean from excessive control as a representation of the beauty of the unpredictable.

The album track list is an expression of evolutionary phases. From the minimalistic piano piece ‘Decomposition’ to ‘Quiete’ which expresses the state of calm after a shift has occurred, ‘Nostalgia’ and ‘Stasi’ represent a hazy trance like state. Vito challenges the listener to ask questions like ’am I in the right place? Is this who I set out to become? Do I have to keep evolving, or should I try to regress?’

‘Evolve’ creates continuous connections between traditional and experimental music, creating dialogue between classical instruments and industrial techno, ambient, noise and de-constructed sounds.

The Album will be released in both digital and vinyl formats via NeMu, a fresh new label founded by Vito Gatto himself. The label will focus on experimental projects based on the exchange between acoustic, concrete and electronic sources.

Vito Gatto is a composer, music producer and violinist based in Milan.
Graduated in Violin from the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan, his research starts from the unconventional application of classical background, both in studio and live performing.

After several collaborations with rock and experimental artists of Italian and International scene (among others Einstürzende Neubauten and Blonde Redhead), he discovers the world of electronic experimentation, and its endless possibility to enhance the acoustic instruments features and concrete sounds, increasing their humanity by exploiting micro variations coming from uniqueness of each single execution.

Even human error can be a surplus value through technology, as an integral and crucial part of the production process.
Influenced by ambient, techno, minimal and contemporary classical music, his work aims to find a hybrid shape through the symbiosis between human expression and extreme digital processing.

NEMU003 - Vito Gatto: Resolve

Tuning scapes is the debut EP from effe effe, the solo project of composer, sound designer and violist @federicafurlani.

Tuning scapes is a culmination of effe effe's research on music, sound design and soundscape, formulating an electroacoustic hypothesis that offers a way to listen to the world through a new lens.

It's a harmonization of noises with digital sounds, field recordings with the most minimalistic electronic timbres, strings patterns with few but solid rhythmic structures, transient movements and spaces of contemplation. You may feel a tension between chaos and order, abstract and tangible, digital and analog, the inner and outer worlds, and the orchestral blend of this variable duality.

The EP begins with "INTRO", an invitation, as well as a declaration. A viola arpeggio, as simple as it could be. Then a deep sound transformation, following the EP title. Soon the sonic landscape becomes surreal.

You’re welcomed by a voice in "Self sprung", a new environment poised between excitement and peace.

"Eight pointed star" is an ode to femininity, to pure sound and vibration with no compromises.

In "VODOUN", an underground dance temporarily comes to life, a tingling of exiled and improbable sounds belonging to different races and species, coexisting in a collective celebration, a symptom of an unlikely yet possible symbiosis.

While listening to Tuning scapes , you’ll travel through waves of softness that smoothly become harder, more concrete, until they finally turn into rhythmic gestures, like tentacles exploring unknown landscapes. Eventually, you'll be back to silence, but with a new look at your surroundings.
