sjah83 Fantastic exercise in musical experimentation. The mix between frequencies, glitches, short circuits and sinusoidal sounds, together with the sampled voice, make this LP a reference to take into account. Only, on a personal and subjective level, I can't stand the first track—I suffer from misophonia and the whispers drive me out of my mind. Apart from the latter, I'd highly recommended it. Favorite track: id[ENTITÀ] 09.

about

ID[entità] offers a cycle of compositions for voice and electronics made between 2017 and 2021. The project stems from the collaboration between composer, performer, sound and multimedia artist Gianluca Iadema and Swiss vocalist, improviser-composer Franziska Baumann.

The compositional action begins by taking inspiration from the virtuoso and sensitive improvisations of the Swiss artist, which are then reworked in an electronic context by Iadema. After his first album, "Aphàiresis", the Italian artist composes for the electronic and the acoustic voice, searching for similarities and contrasts that take styles of glitch, techno, and pop music to the extreme. Far from melody and accompaniment, he composes an oscillating interplay of the acoustic and the electronic environment, morphing and sculpting the two realms as equal sound materials.

Rarefied moments, melodic outbursts reminiscent of Renaissance vocal music, and rave rhythms give rise to sonic textures embedded in a minimalist framework. The compositions are conceived in "spaces" rather than linear development, although an "ergodic" narrative is present. With a cubist approach, the spatially sculpted sounds transform into intimate moments and vice versa, thus allowing atmospheres to separate identity and non-identity. Born as a cycle of compositions for electronic and voice.
