about

Produced in between 2020 and 2022 and initially conceived for the live dimension, six tracks find their place in stziopa's second release for SUPRANU Records: 'At the beginning, there wasn’t a project nor a concept, the writing took several years. In the end, the only link between the tracks was the geographical place where I spent a lot of time and which gave me inspiration, from the landscape to the biological aspects, endemic but also real events.”

The final shape has been reached when visual artist Luca Spano offered his images for the cover: “(the images) work because they are representations of subatomic processes, particle collisions, spaces within matter, textures and physicality of the invisible. In short, they are part of an imagery about the building blocks of everything organic and inorganic. They are alive and in constant excitement and decay.“

From the first glance the images recall the elements contained in the tracks: sustained textures, floating melodies, repetitive beats. “When Luca sent me the artwork, I didn’t have the definitive titles yet so, at the end, I decided to reflect the speculative nature of the images, referring to real-life events using scientific terms, formulas, abbreviations and leaving room for the listener’s imagination.”

Four years after Aloe Vera EP, stziopa continues his musical research contaminated by techno, house and electronica using samplers, modular synthesisers and combining analog and digital instruments shaping the sound of his productions.
