The gray umbrella by Bruno Sanfilippo published on 2012-04-12T22:09:47Z Urbs • CD digipack available > https://brunosanfilippo.bandcamp.com/album/urbs Urbs is an intriguing combination of ambient textures with location sound recordings. Originally released on Compact Disc by Hypnos Recording (U.S, in 2012), Bruno takes up the work years later to re-imagine it with his current creative approach in the same Onix II Studio-home, on the mountains near Barcelona city. Not just textures to add interest to the more crafted sounds of music; these ghostly audio presences are the main forms within these blurry ethereal soundscapes. Here Bruno Sanfilippo has softened his sound palette into such subtle tones that it is pleasingly difficult to define "the boundary between [musical] sound and noise. Gentle and evocative, subtly textural and transporting, maybe you can hate or adore it, but it is hardly indifferent to you” ad21 “Where is the defined boundary between sound and noise? Music usually doesn’t seem comfortable with noise. Due to the fragility of its aesthetic dimension, urban noise, in its context common things, seems to be inexpressive. In this work I incorporate the murmur of cities as one more element that dissolves with the faint sound of electronic sources, in this case with the manipulation of a Korg Radias synthesizer and a Lexicon processor. The field recordings were obtained using an iPod Touch, inside churches, train stations, subway platforms and on the streets, and bars in cities such as London, Berlin, Paris, Moscow and New York. The cover photo was captured inside a bus in Berlin City with my mobile phone” Bruno Sanfilippo -- -- If you then want to be informed, when I release new titles or concerts, you are welcome to join my newsletter.
