why we love this

The album's title is a nod to the handy recorder Maria used to document both the mundanities and the happenings that pique her curiosity. As you delve into Zoom, you'll discover intricate rhythms crafted from everyday objects, alongside instances where pulsating synthesizers alternate between dynamic clashes and gentle blends.

about the record

Zoom is a verité collection of situational recordings made by Cucina Povera in intimate spaces full of acoustic or ideological intrigue, primarily using a capella voice. It is a document of different locations and moods that interested the recorder, a postcard look into the stream-of-consciousness processes of an artist developing her own language. Using little else other than a Tascam Zoom recorder and loop pedal, these are highly personal recordings originally intended as notes for future compositions that ended up becoming the purest rendition of this first phase of Cucina Povera's music to date.

Originally presented as WAV files named simply ZOOM---, these on-the-fly compositions are a perfect distillation of Rossi's practice. With no augmentation, not even a song-title, these bare, beautiful tracks become a materialist document of the wonder of the everyday. While Rossi's previous album, Hilja, was a sculpted whole that at times used post-production techniques and electronic instruments, Zoom presents acoustic sound as a source of joy and discovery largely without artifice. On Zoom, Rossi’s minimalism is fully stark, a process fully transparent and all the more celestially powerful because of it.
