Foresta, Enrico Ascoli

Brindisi Paradiso is a cassette mixtape reuniting Marco Foresta and Enrico Ascoli, two artists who previously collaborated on the 2018 track "Alma" from the Fabio Fabio release Amore Cannibale. Marco Foresta (aka Fabio Fabio) is co-founder of the Ivreatronic collective alongside Cosmo, Enea Pascal, and Splendore. A former percussionist who began working with turntables in the 1990s, Foresta has developed a distinctive sound that combines exotica, tribal psychedelia, and downtempo techno. His music is built from an extensive personal vinyl archive, with samples drawn from obscure soundtracks, world music, and Italian mockumentary films. 

Enrico Ascoli is a Paris-based sound artist whose practice spans field recordings, electroacoustic music, sound design for film and installations, and multimedia exhibitions. His work has an organic, natural texture—often born from field recordings mediated by technology but avoiding what he calls "digital idolatry." Ascoli's projects range from abstract atmospheric soundscapes to dense, hypnotic compositions with harmonic qualities. His installation work includes pieces like Auspicio, which explores the sonic dimension of wine fermentation through birdsong.

Released on cassette by Rome's FERRO/CROMO label, Brindisi Paradiso merges Foresta's sample-heavy, groove-oriented approach with Ascoli's field recording practice and sound design sensibility. The cassette format honors the mixtape tradition while serving as an appropriate medium for this convergence of archival digging and environmental listening.
