Unbelievable release, highly recommended if you like 0PN or other abstract electronica. You won't be disappointed!
Favorite track: Bestia Rara (Franz Rosati Rework).
"I think that what is not waiting for us is the future, because it is we who must take it. We are rare beasts, we have heart and courage."
The song of rare beasts, the disease that precedes the future, the recognition of death in wine and passions. Beast like the boulder of procrastination. Rare as the occasions that are not noticed.
Bestia Rara evokes HD atmospheres of cinematic fragments with overlapping kicks and ternary lacerations. Dori Sorride's voice, a tenco-grime project by the polyidentitary artist Lapo Sorride, expresses the song for the rare beast, a being that lives on love and silicon tearing lead and ethanol, paradises of anarchic solitude, nostalgia for the warrior of one of the next resistances.
Publishing this Italian composition gloHD-power soul, Riforma inaugurates BATCH#1: four releases based on the original_track+reworks=4tracks arrangement.
In this first reworks_side we find NOT399093, co-founder of the label, in a marble-footwork interpretation in the full style of roma_est_futuro; going beyond the boundaries of meditative listening, reaching the edge of scientific perception we find ourselves in front of the vocal synthesis elaboration of Olbos, co-founder of its sister Mossa Records; Paralyzing structures, stretched out build-ups, zomby-ballads that dig the foundations of the umbrella_corp, this is the emocombat version of the master Franz Rosati, supreme light of the Capitoline darkness.
The covers of this bunch of releases are entirely curated by the pictorial arts of Cristopher Vega who describes this premiere:
"The Rare Beast becomes real in the mantle of the tiger, which rises from the invisible surface of silence; the rhythmic curves echo altered voices, broken by vertical blades as interruptions of dissonant noises.
The shape of this melody is physical, it imposes itself as the very symbol of every sound, shading the notes into linear variations and transforming sensations into colors; Violet, mediator of heat and cold, contrast between melodic atmospheres and metallic noises, and gray as a dystopian background of a world without human presence.
In this composition the wild is human, the rigor of the form only a deception compared to the randomness of nature. The order appears in harmony with the chaos. For brief moments these elements merge, to vanish only when the Rare Beast returns in silence."
Dori Sorride is the tenco-grime moniker of Frank Brait, a multi-identity person, founder and artistic director of Misto Mame Collective and Asile185, but he's also the infamous tattooer and designer Lapo Sorride. Frank Brait was FRNKBRT, an imaginative/newweird song writer and producer, now instead his music goes through the deep-sampling project Kinked and the gloHD voice of Dori Sorride.
