VALLICELLI, MATTEO
PRIMO (CAPTURED TRACKS)
Limited Edition of 500 Copies. Matteo Vallicelli is an Italian drummer and composer, best known as the live drummer of The Soft Moon, Death Index, and as a founding member of many renowned Italian punk bands.
This winter he debuts his first solo project, "Primo" on Captured Tracks. Songs like "Michelangelo" and "Frammenti" were born as techno tracks but, through subtraction, became something different and more representative of the introspective state in which they were created.
These two tracks opened up a path for the rest of the music on "Primo", in which most of the songs have no traces of drums or percussive elements, marking a new, liberating way for Vallicelli to make music.
The result of three years of experimentation, Primo is ultimately an exercise in self-limitation and discovery.
