Transfer is a wonderfully absorbing mix of elements, digital micro-events, rumbling timbral drone sequences with a deep sense of introspection and meditatively cerebral experience.
[Release page] Fabio Perletta (Øe) is a well established inter-media artist and graduated sound designer who released a bunch of installations and performances, as well as fruitful collaborative works with renowned artists such as Andrea Ferraris, Tau Ceti et al. He is also the founder of the label Farmacia901 which produces a wide range of ambient sound materials. Transfer is among the last Fabio Perletta’s efforts to date. The content has been written and recorded between 2010 and 2011. In itself the music encompasses the micro-tonal ambient genre and the stylistically inspired abstract droning avant-gardism with the addition of a vast array of natural sound sources and field recordings. The conceptual background is said to be linked to neuronal-interactive networking between the human psyche and the technological programming / simulacrum. The textured soundscaping ambiences perfectly approach a listening-phenomenological situation where the cognitive structures are intertwined with affective-emotional realities. The music delivers a wonderfully absorbing mix of elements, digital micro-events, rumbling timbral drone sequences with a deep sense of introspection and meditatively cerebral experience. The challenging-adventurous environmental perspective reminds me a few virtualized acousmatic / crafted based soundtracks from Natasha Barret, Marc Behrens, Tod Dockstader. The melodious ambient path will ravish fans of Vidna Obmana, Harold Budd (among others).
A challenging and vigorously complex abstract ambient minimalistic release that combines texturally organic-emotional drones to ingeniously conceptual visions and speculatively meditative sound topologies. Elegantly done, deliciously organic and well produced, this album clearly deserves a serious listening to anyone interested in experimental-hybrid contemporary ambient music.
Transfer is available on Murmur. [Release page]
