[ASTOR010] Fabrizio Cacciamali - Kobalt Trees (2009)

There’s a fine line between melody and experimentation in which Fabrizio Cacciamali rides. His ability to mesh pretty chord progressions with beat up circuit boards and atmospheric haze is a sought-after sound and skill. We’ll be the first to say he’s living it, not just copying it.

This is a stunning collection of digital dabbles grounded in repetition and expanded upon in manipulation. The listener is taken to the exact fraction of time in which the machines fail. Everyone and everything, reset to presets.

We are bound to devices and intangible connections. We leave a residual dust in our wake. Fabrizio Cacciamali focuses his microscope and extracts the tone.

You live in the city but you’re surrounded by Kobalt Trees.
