Movente is a debut LP from a vital and long standing figure of Italy’s clubbing
scene under a brand new alias. That alias is Cleptophonic, and the album, due
in 2019, is an autobiographical collage of experimental trip hop sounds that is
truly immersive.
Under a former alias, Cleptophonic has spent years DJing and experimenting
in the studio and has made a real impact on his native scene as a result. He is a
very delicate person with a serious attention to detail that he puts to best use
by delving deep into what he loves: playing on turntables and immersing
himself in a sonic realm cuts him off from the real world and acts as therapy
for this meticulous and selective person and artist.
He is a master of a stylish musical collage technique – both in sound and
images. As such Movente is a collage of different sounds, sampled with the
turntables and put together with Logic, while his passion for collage also spills
over onto the album cover, which is made by pieces of paper from magazines,
newspapers and comic strips. The result is an experimental trip-hop album
with a singular sound that puts together pieces of life, sounds and images that
are meaningful for him, especially the last song, which is dedicated to his
mother who sadly committed suicide a few years ago.
The album release event at Studio dB, Berlin on 17 March 2019, sits alongside
a sound therapy training course organised by the Pregnant Void movement.
This 1st level program presents the unity of the human body and sound. It
teaches topics such as vibrational massage, communication through harmonic
singing and biofield tuning.
