I’m back home after some wonderful days in Beirut.
I completely forgot to ask some friend to take pictures during my concert at Yukunkun, luckily Maria Kassab snapped a couple of pictures with her mobile phone, I have also taken a picture of the set during the soundcheck. Thanks to Sharif Sehnaoui for inviting me and to all the people that came to the concert, the feedback I received was really lovely.
This is a processed field recording taken on 19/04/13 in Hamra Street, Beirut, Lebanon.
It was sent the same day to Italy to be played during a live performance of Kisses From Mars in Ravenna. It is therefore a sort of sound postcard from Beirut.
Here’s the second Pill. It features some drumming by the almighty Marco Frattini.
Here‘s the previous Pill.
You can find all the Pills in this soundcloud set.
I have spent around 50 days recording material in a warehouse in Ravenna industrial area.
Now I’m sorting out all the material I recorded in that beautiful space and working on the actual tunes .
While I do that, I make some short tracks where I try some ideas and do some experiments with the sounds I recorded there.
I called these short tracks “Pills” because they calm me down.
Here’s the first one, Pill #0.
