Label: Upside Down Recordings - UDR 17

HERBAL RESEARCH名義でも活動しているCristiano Carosiが初の本名でリリースしたソロカセット[Botanica]。テープ実験によるサウンドアート的アプローチが試みられており、電子機器、物音の小気味良い加工サウンドを絶妙な空白を交えつつ配置。そこから発生する奇妙な立体感がなんとも心地良い内容。



"Botanica" is the first work published by Cristiano Carosi whih his real name. Moving to this new vest there's the idea of "uncovering" unseen relashionships between sound objects, the research of new intersections and combinations through electronic instruments and synthesis filtered by effects and magnetic tapes like a diaphram for a fotographer impressing his film.

"With my filters I dose the materials i play, find and record, different elements and couples of sounds, reproduced and observed while they re-grow together; I let them take their own space and time measuring this flow to keep and alterate the balance at the same time, leaving empty spaces and silence to a new dialogue".

He has recorded music with the shoegaze band Sea Dweller and is part of CYMBLS, a psychedelic band that experiments with sound and electronic with a minimal approach. With his solo project
HERBAL RESEARCH he elaborates short studies of sound collage from samples, electronic synthesis and acoustic instruments on the tapes "Sound Non Sound" for Upside Down Recordings, his own label focused on experimental new sounds (Nastro, Filtro, Julien A.Lacroix,
Angélica Castelló).
