about

Rubisco is the second full length album from Donato Epiro. Following his debut album Fiume Nero (2014), the young Italian composer has moved from the raw primordial chaos that characterised 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, repetitive sequences broken by oblique elements that seems looking for a new active role into the ecosystem. Exploring communication and transitions between the inanimate side of the existing and the living one, the sound of Rubisco seems to be pulled out from the walls of an abandoned building or captured while it is lying on the ground of empty spaces or fluctuating like fine dust through the light. It leads the listener into a form of "after rave" limbo, or a personal hiding place, where the head projects only the image of the sounds you've listened to during your human experience. The result is a record that plays with taut minimal touches, inspired by the work of Egisto Macchi and Angus MacLise, alongside vital rhythmic hypnotism, close to the sonic delirium dreamed up by the likes of Demdike Stare and Fis (whose 2015 album The Blue Quicksand Is Going Now was also released through Loopy).

This Roman experimental duo have been a favourite of mine for many years, putting out several dark yet highly listenable records. The best description of their sound is encapsulated in one of their titles "Death Surf", with their ocassional use of an almost pacific beach sound amid the darkness. These tracks, previously unissued, demonstrate extremely high release standards. BTW, the message at the start of "Bad Auspicia" is translated into English as "The Name Of This Poem Is Fuck Off".

A sound cross-section of the city of Taranto. Victim, over time, of continuous looting, robbery, devastation and continuous systematic exploitation! I hope that this Sammartano MASTERPIECE is RIGHTLY valued for its sound and emotional content! Really AMAZING! rocknbeat
