Volume 02 is here: macofbionight.bandcamp.com/album/evolve-vol-02

JUST MUSIC series - vol 53

Genre: space, ambient, Berlin School

(Italiano più sotto)

99% of my albums start from the cover image, which becomes the map I follow to create the music. When I started working with a new instrument called Icarus – yet another jewel by Tone2’s Markus Krause, here www.tone2.com/html/icarus.html – the sounds I was getting from it inspired me so much that I recorded almost half of this double album just driven by the sounds themselves. When I was halfway through it, though, the need for a visual map came back. I tried to come up with an adequate cover, but to no avail. Therefore, I turned to the usual place: my uncle Domenico “Sem” Semeraro’s magnificent photos. I sent him some bits of music to listen to and he sent me a selection of pictures. The ones you can see on the covers are the ones that immediately jumped at me and became the visual map for the rest of the music.
This double album is as much mine as it is Markus’s and Sem’s, two incredible artists whose works are a great source of inspiration for me.

The two volumes of this album were recorded using solely Tone2’s Icarus and the soundset I made for it called “Psychophonia,” available here: www.tone2.com/html/psychophonia.html

Il 99% dei miei album nasce dalla copertina, che diventa la mappa che seguo per creare la musica. Quando iniziai a lavorare con un nuovo strumento chiamato Icarus - un'altra gemma di Markus Krause della Tone2, qui www.tone2.com/html/icarus.html - i suoni che ottenevo mi ispiravano così tanto che registrai quasi metà di questo doppio album spinto solo dai suoni stessi. Arrivato circa a metà, però, il bisogno di una mappa visiva si fece sentire. Cercai di realizzare una copertina adeguata, ma senza risultato. Mi rivolsi quindi alla consueta fonte: le magnifiche foto di mio zio Domenico "Sem" Semeraro. Gli mandai dei frammenti di musica da ascoltare ed egli mi mandò una selezione di foto. Quelle che vedete sulle copertine sono quelle da cui fui immediatamente colpito e che diventarono la mappa visiva per il resto della musica.
Questo doppio album è tanto mio, quanto di Markus e Sem, due incredibili artisti i cui lavori sono per me una grande fonte di ispirazione.

I due volumi di questo doppio album sono stati interamente realizzati usando solo Icarus ed il set di suoni che ho per esso realizzato, "Psychophonia", disponibile qui: www.tone2.com/html/psychophonia.html
