Cani Lenti
Tip!! Italian duo Rosso Polare 2nd album, originally issued by Ototoku, following the wonderful 'Lettere Animali' album, which was one of Oto highlights of 2020. Cani Lenti is a collection of duels, some may say. As the two minds of Cesare Lopopolo and Annna Vezzosi converge, a dichotomy of harmonious and contrasting sounds ebb, swirl and clatter in and amongst themselves. Using techniques from call and response improvisation, tape manipulation, experimental music and free-form folk, their appro…
Bureau
In 2016 Matteo Uggeri took hundreds of pictures during his working days in a 70’s building aimed at training and desk work located in the surroundings of Milan. Later that Winter the photographs taken served as inspiration for him and Giulio Aldinucci for this album themed on the alienation of the working life inside the office (bureau, from where the term ‘bureaucracy’ comes).
The tracks are based on outdoor field recordings that have been looped, treated and re-shaped in order to be transfor…
Nine Hundred Fifty Seven
Francesco Ziello is a multi-instrumentalist musician and electroacoustic composer, born in 1984 and based in Rome.

A Tutti gli Uragani che ci Passarono Accanto
An introspective journey into darkness through an oblique and fascinating song form. This, and much more, in Enten Hitti's beautiful new album. There is something particularly transcendental about 'A Tutti gli Uragani che ci Passarono Accanto', the new Enten Hitti album released on 25 May 2020 by Lizard and ADN Records. It is a work that welcomes the song form, but dished out with the classic researched and experimental approach that has distinguished the band's work in recent years.
