Isolato

The ‘Isolato’ project is deeply rooted in the worldwide-spread Internet music community: besides the pros and cons of its primary expressive medium (Soundcloud), the network allows young artists to emerge and fuel their career with frequent and lively exchanges. As stated by Pietro Michi himself, the amount of work necessary to properly develop and finalize such a complex program could have only been managed thanks to the internet. ‘Isolato’ stands at the intersection of ‘underground’ genres such as experimental electronics, industrial / dark ambient and noise / drone ventures; styles that are known to difficutly appeal the bigger sectors of the users, and which require great amount of devotion and passion to be kept alive as self-sustaining scenes. The almost-45-minutes-long record is an ashtonishing collection of tracks that are coherently pull together around the initial ‘Isolato’ drone pattern by FossaDelRumore, appearing also in a revisited, noisy-er and abstract version. The main theme was made available for free DL over at FossaDelRumore’s SC account, and then re-edited, re-mixed, re-thought by seven other sonic explorers: the only imposed constraint was to follow the album concept and focus on the ‘isolation’ topic, well-expressed by the image of Chartres Cathedral’s labyrinth appearing in the artwork.
