“Sounds from beneath and between branches and roots…”
Our collaboration tape with soul mate Purba was released as C20 by Italian independent label Nil By Mouth Recordings.
Side one was recorded during the day in a snow storm.
Side two was recorded over midnight during a full moon in a silent forest.
Fire and ice,
day and night,
light and dark,
white and black.
Here a short sample:
“Sounds Of The City” – life, the rain and beautiful bells of a nearby church. Recorded today early morning on my Bday 11.3.2018
this photo was taken on a warm sunny day during the visit of Laveno-Mombello cemetery, where Italian futurist painter and composer Luigi Russolo is buried and where we came to pay tribute to him and to his highly influential “The Art of Noises” manifesto.
My piece Fragile won the International Audience Award Prix Russolo this year.
*special thanks goes to Elisabat Muse for her vocal contribution.

Yesterday I went to Hokokuji Zen temple in Kamakura and did two long field recordings sessions at the Bamboo Garden. Soothing sounds of falling leaves and friction sound of bamboo trees rub against each other in the wind was mindblowing. Here some pictures.
