plaid Retina.it - Descending Into Crevasse

"Retina.it (Lino Monaco and Nicola Buono), is born in the first half of 90’s.This duo,placed near the Vesuvio (Naples), explored all the capabilities of analogic synths since the beginnings, developing an its own idea of sound. The undifferentiated manipulation of sounds extracted from modular and digital synths or objects/environment sound’s recording, leads this original duo to a continuos research of a sonic identity. Retina.it’s music has been released from labels such as Hefty records (Us) , Mousikelab (It), Flatmate/Storung ( Spain) and Glacial Movements (It). They have worked with different personalities of music business and visual arts, such as John Hughes, Marco Messina, Claudio Sinatti, Gabriella Cerritelli, Giorgio Li Calzi , Red Sector A. Moreover, the deep live-performing activity has led Retina.it to share important stages of International contest (such as Storung, Sonar…) with prestigious artists like Kraftwerk, Matmos, Telefon Tel aviv,T.A.G.C., Rechenzentrum , Oval, Noto, F. Bretschneider, Plaid , Apparat, Biosphere and many more. “Descending into crevasse” is a sort of metaphor. An ipotetic journey between the gorges of eternal ices, such as a travel inside ourself researching reassuring corners. A flux of muffled and confused memories, frosted in a wave moving like an algorithm."

I checked out the samples the other day. I might actually have to pick this up.

quite the different sound for retina.it. i've always enjoyed them but this release could guide the way for new sound, blending their rhythm sides with these ambient ones. i really like the sounds in this

This album is great. Picked up the digital release today.

Sounds like a hybrid between Biosphere's Shenzhou and a Thomas Koner album

I'd agree with that. I can't get enough of it. One of the best releases on Glacial Movements to date.

It's freaking lovely. :)

Samples sound lush so far. I picked up the Stormloop album and that was great, this is next I think!
