why we love this
An invigorating symbiosis between percussion and nature. Sounds move organically from one form to the next, creating a lively listening experience.
about the cassette
This release raises a question: how does the contemporary musician interact with nature? Francesco Covarino's answer in Luce/Mantello may be close to the notion of meshing that Timothy Morton develops in The Ecological Thought. Here, nature is neither fantasised nor put on a pedestal. The drummer is inscribed in the completeness of the great web of living things as a foreign but inseparable element of its environment.
In this cassette, Francesco Covarino combines field recordings and drum solo without emphasizing one more than the other. Luce captures the intrinsic dynamism of the soundscape at two moments of the day. A bird song, the engine of a car, the wind's breath harmonise with the crackling of metallic percussion at midday, then the sound environment blends in with the ample signals of the low tom at dusk.
