Adjustable Face

Adjustable Face, the newly formed duo of Milan-based musicians Marco Paltrinieri (Canti Magnetici, Granny Records) and Matteo Pennesi (Babau, Artetetra, {scope}), explores the intersection of glitch, ambient, and computer music through different composition and production strategies.

Their debut album "Adjustable Phase", soon-to-be-released via Kohlhaas, was built through a process of editing, reassembling, and refining extended improvisation sessions recorded throughout 2024. Primarily based on guitar and electronics, these sessions document the path of mutual artistic acquaintance between Paltrinieri and Pennesi, as well as the comparison and bringing together of different personal influences and sensibilities, in search of a common language.

It is perhaps in this ferment and exploratory curiosity that lies the distinctive feature of the album, which is expressed through ten tracks that touch on different references and suggestions. The post-production and mixing phase was entrusted to Francesco Piro, whose contribution helped to shape the sound identity of the album.

"Adjustable Phase" comes in a limited edition cassette featuring artwork and design by visual artist Baiubaiu aka Riccardo Redeghieri.
