Sylphic by Giovanni Verga

Giovanni Verga (Italy) currently lives in Berlin where he works as sound artist, electronic music composer and performer. In his works he constructs pieces using a wide variety of techniques, such as field recordings, no-input mixer, feedbacks, loudspeakers, contact microphones, magnetic tapes, vinyl records manipulation, radio frequencies. His solo activity is mainly focused on performances where he offers live pieces based on live manipulation of sound fragments recycling, taken from his past and recent works. In Sylphic, his second solo album, a sublunary sphere is imagined. According to geocentric cosmologies, this region of the cosmos from the center of the Earth to the moon, was believed to be comprised of the four classical elements (earth, air, fire and water). These four elements were identified by Aristotle, as the elements of bodies that are also subject to generation and corruption. Sylphic is inspired by this vision as a starting point for the construction of an eerie and intimate sound world.
