donato epiro: rubisco

Following Fiume Nero (2014), the young Italian composer has moved from the raw primordial chaos that characterized his first work to develop a reflection on how a hypothetical absence of humans and biological life could modify industrialized and civilized spaces. Using field recordings, obscure samples, and FM synthesis, Epiro draws his abstract landscapes as a series of overexposed and imprecise pictures made by concrete and organic architectures, amorphous rhythmic patterns, and repetitive sequences. The result is a record that plays with taut minimal touches, inspired by the work of Egisto Macchi, Angus MacLise, Demdike Stare, and Fis.
