Die Schachtel has unveiled the third and fourth volumes of its Decay Music series, the Milan imprint’s look at “inspired contemporary experimental efforts in ambient, ethereal, and emotively abstract music.”
Due out on February 19th, Rueben and Downtown Ethnic Music are two very different efforts from Sandro Mussida and Giovanni Di Domenico (pictured above). While the former was an electro-acoustic response to Italian Renaissance paintings, the latter is described as a deep “reimagining the future of urban music…. radically divergent from those of the past.” A Fourth World infusion, through and through, albeit on another plane entirely.
“This is not music to listen to with your eyes closed,” Mussida says of Rueben, “but rather, the opposite. It is music composed to magnify the action of the eyes, the sense of active observation in the present moment and of the space around us.”
