I hear elements I haven't noticed in other works of yours in this. exquisite dynamic fluctuations!

This piece followed a fav orchestral classical track (Respighi) brilliantly on my iPod - really showed the tonal depth, and emotional range of the work - well done!

INFO /BIO:

Xu(e) draws its fundamental inspiration from taoism, but aims to explore whatever represents a meaningful contradiction. The duo is formed by Xu (Nicola Fornasari) + Xue (Andrea Poli).  The two have not been seeing each other for some years now and have developed a kind of alchemical, asynchronous remote collaboration as a creative process where time and space play almost no role.

Xu(e) - In The Midst Of The Debris

On the 21st of March 2014 we will be celebrating 5 years of Home Normal. It has been an incredible journey to get this far and we never could have reached it without the kind support of talented artists and all the wonderful people who have ever bought one of our releases or attended one of our shows.

In this modern digital age with its constant stream of information, we've sought to work as quietly as possible, firmly rooting our ethos that things can be released in a subtle, quiet way. 'Organic' has always been the key word, and we are so thankful that people seem to still appreciate the natural path we've chosen, ignoring all the noise that surrounds our chosen way.

To celebrate this great landmark for us, we will be releasing our 5th year compilation 'Elements'. With over 60 artists from our past, present and future involved, this five disc compilation will be raising money for 5 different charities which are close to our hearts. All profits from Elements Three (火) will be donated to ecoACTIVE which is an innovative environmental education charity with a reputation for using hands-on, practical and fun approaches to explore complex issues of sustainability.

Era solo. 
Solo, e vagava come un cacciatore di fantasmi: i suoi.
Nel suo mondo grigio, col cielo intriso di aria malsana.
Era arrivato alla fine, ci era arrivato da solo; dopo due giorni capì che non c’erano mai stati i suoi fantasmi. 
Tutto era finito. 
Completamente abbandonato anche dalla negatività che gli dava ancora un motivo per provare rabbia, neanche più un compromesso per sopravvivere nel suo mondo grigio.
Dopo un minuto: fuoco.
Famigerate ombre nere divorarono lui, il fuoco, il grigiore e l’aria malsana. 
Diventò egli stesso il fantasma a cui era dedito dare la caccia.

Cryosleep

Every once in a while - during these last few years - I get to stay a few days in Liguria, a region that I love very much, during holidays or times when I do not have to work (I work as a graphic designer in Cremona, the city where I was born and live). Near the house where we stay there is an impressive place called San Fruttuoso Abbey (very close to Camogli and Portofino), which as well as being the residence of the Doria and a catholic Abbey, was also a hideout for pirates!
The place is still reachable only by boat or through a long path in the woods, but I must say that to swim in the sea of that small harbour really worth it!
I visited this place at least three times, and the thing that has always struck me, even more than the beautiful sea, is the atmosphere of the inside of the abbey (I’m not a Christian then is not a religious issue), especially if visited in a season where there are no tourists or bathers outside.
On one of these occasions I had bought the umpteenth music box from a vendor outside the church (since I incorporate them very often within my music I'm always looking for a new one).
Then, once we were on the balconies of the abbey, my oldest (at that time four years old) daughter Viola began to play the music box very slowly and it felt so good that, in the absence of professional equipment, I began to record everything with my iphone.
Once back home I arranged this raw recordings in a sampler and I used that as a starting point for a series of improvisations with the simple aid of looper + ring mod + fuzz pedals.

Zoltan Fecso - Liquid Talk

Xu(e) draws its fundamental inspiration from taoism, but aims to explore whatever represents a meaningful contradiction. It is a unity of opposites, aside from a thesis/anthitesis/synthesis approach. It is a rational method to deal with the irrational.

The duo is formed by long time friends Xu (Nicola Fornasari) + Xue (Andrea Poli). Its activity focuses on audio and, in the early years,  visual experimentation. The two have not been seeing each other for some years now and have developed a kind of alchemical, asynchronous remote collaboration as a creative process, where time and space play almost no role.
