is the result of the brand new collaborative project by Elena M. Rosa Lavita and Denis Vignoli (both with personal solo projects) in which the two have tried to clink common passions and assonances with the physiological differences and nuances of personality and training.
Elena (electric bass, noises and objects) is a visual artist who, after dealing with ambient installations and graphics for record album covers, then approached music by interpreting it as a further expressive medium rather than as a language for its own sake. Repetitive ambient, minimal structures, soundscapes, textures of noises and samplings, all rigorously analogical. In last few years she released two solo albums and several collaborations with interesting Italian and not only musicians, publishing for both Italian and foreign labels.
Denis (EGC guitar and effects pedals) condenses the visceral passion for music with no genres and borders in the distorted sustain of his guitar. In 2022 he published, under an English label, a work with the moniker The Grow, mixed by the Norwegian musician Lasse Marhaug.
Low-fi recordings, Industrial atmospheres, conceptual rooms populated by symbolic, hermetic, magical and alchemical elements, drones, loops and repetitions are the meeting place where Elena and Denis weave the collection of distorted, obsessive, improvised lullabies (yet not without of an hidden melody) which compose the work, mixed by the Swedish musician Joachim Nordwall, mastered by Swiss musician Attila Folklor, released on October 23, 2023 for the Norwegian label TIBProd and the Italian Rodenfaust Records.
