Decollare Verso il Mare
Decollare verso il mare (“Take off towards the sea”) starts like a simple story of long-distance collaboration and ends up as a small, resonant fragment of recent history.

Day Hospital
Day Hospital began not in a studio, but between a hospital bed and whatever lies just beyond it - that blurred zone where time dilates, bodies stall, and thought starts looping on itself. Out of that suspended space, Copycat Department shapes a sound project that treats techno and experimental music as twin methods for charting vulnerability and resistance.
