Caterina Barbieri is an Italian composer who explores themes related to machine intelligence and object oriented perception in sound through a focus on minimalism.
Following 2017’s acclaimed 2LP “Patterns of Consciousness”, “Ecstatic Computation” is the new full-length LP by Caterina Barbieri. The album revolves around the creative use of complex sequencing techniques and pattern-based operations to explore the artefacts of human perception and memory processes by ultimately inducing a sense of ecstasy and contemplation. Computation is turned from being a formal, automatic writing technique into a creative, psychedelic practice to generate temporal hallucinations. A state of trance and wonder where the perception of time is distorted and challenged.
Equally nervous and ecstatic, the fast permutation of patterns can create a state where time stands still whilst simultaneously being in motion. Is this propulsive music moving forward or backward? As long as the perception of the present is constantly enhanced and refreshed
in an endless sense of loss, re-discovery and the search for self-orientation this question lies mute aside the thrilling and perplexing moment of the matter at hand.

Francesco Leali follows up on his solo debut ‘Undergoddess’ with ‘Sorceress’ EP.
Recalling the approach of its predecessor, these live studies rely on improvisation, structure and texture through the use of a single output. While ‘Undergoddess’ focused on a 1737 cello, ’Sorceress’ does so with a diy instrument that creates feelings of inadequacy and doom. An aesthetic achieved by fusing acoustic/electroacoustic instruments and spacious, growling processing – a trait that seems to be persistent in Leali’s writing approach.

The dreamer pushes himself beyond the boundaries of imagination, into places he only can visit. He will come back transfigured, taking along his dream come true and sharing it with those who love him.
His trip is like a tide that comes back a little bit different every time and brings something new to those who could wait for it.
In each track of the album you can find two different souls, one is physical and the other one is ethereal, the dreamer and the dream. They move together and power each other taking the listener to their world.
Nobody knows if that world really exists but someone is living in it for a while.

A diverse array of musicians reinterpret a standout from the Italian synthesizer composer’s 2019 album Ecstatic Computation, but only a handful recreate the metaphysical wonder of her work.
