Edition of 60 hand-numbered copies in glossy cardboard wallet sleeve.[Perché Dormiamo?]
Although in very different forms, sleep is an aspect of experience that unites all living beings.
Despite the many extremely plausible theories to explain the phenomenon, sleep still remains one of the greatest mysteries of science.
So, why do we sleep?
[Sisyphos]
Could the punishment inflicted by the Gods on the man who dared to challenge them, coming to deceive without completely dispelling death, be a metaphor for the law of conservation of energy?
[Costruzione1]
A song created a long time ago, starting from small loops left by chance inside a loop station. After years of forgetting about the song, I found it again and discovered it’s much longer and layered than I remembered leaving it.
As if in all this time the modules that built it had gradually replicated themselves and made it grow like a plant. Maybe a distorted memory.
Maybe it wanted to live.
Performed & recorded by Matteo Mariano between 2005 & 2020.
Noriko Ogawa: voice on "Perché Dormiamo?", recorded in 2007.
Thanks to Rich Dodgin.
