HDADD - BLACK MOTHER

HDADD’s still keeping his immersive touch but focuses on a straightforward narrative where the contemplative moods of past works have been replaced by a fictional kind of nervous storytelling.

Don’t get it wrong: we’re still talking about psychedelia but forget the hippie, transcendent vibes of his last works and make room to this new dizzy experience whose depth is enhanced by an explicit songwriting and a production which, in some way, sounds more physical than ever before.

The record is structured on a series of episodes where mutant afro-beat blends with Mediterranean folklore and sci-fi electronics clash with ancient futurist ballads in order to create a murky cinematic atmosphere: a continuous chase where tension and relief, damnation and delight pursue each other.

We’ve this febrile jazzfunk that leads the listener in the twilight zone, where the deepest darkness and the highest enlightenment are dualist reflections in a mirror, which is placed at the core of the entire work. Imagine a rush in a gloomy sequence shot: an haunted corridor where sepia tones and fluorescence alternate fast like paints on a black wall.

This work aims to adapt as an imaginary soundtrack for a contemporary Grand Guignol or a Freak Show.A metaphorical and existential description of our times and its rituals in which the audience is the show itself and no one is allowed to experience the drama in the comfort of a seat.

HDADD - Mimesi

“Mimesi” is a collection of live recordings which have been made during a session of 10 days in August 2016: this immersion took place in a improvised studio in the countryside.

Basically this songs are the fruit of an ascetic meditation into a flourishing nature which strongly influenced the mood of the production until this last seems an attempt to imitate the environment itself and the processes that make it so alive: an accidental description of that real world endowed with marvelous aspects.

What came out from this immersive experiment is a reflection: a drawn link between the poise that lies in the geometries of music, and the empiricism of the physical experience of an observer. A metaphor of the hidden processes of life which gently crawl and animate a quiet and pristine place far from the speed of contemporary life.

This compositions aim to connect the science of electronic means with the ideal and eternal models you can find into the details of nature: textures, colors, air and the cycle of creation are blurred into a euphoric sober narrative that points to a magical realism into which  representation, imitation and illusion take life through the sound and its time distortion.

HDADD - Mimesi Icastica

"Mimesi Icastica" is the first excerpt from the HDADD new album.

"It is a metaphor about the relationship between sound geometry and nature: a choral game in which individual notes mask one another in a process of imitation, repetition, and concatenation. I wanted to trigger the vital mechanism that creates inflorescences and ramifications on a aural context."

HDADD - No Age Music

New HDADD Live Mixtape for Noisey Vice

"No Age Music" is a live mixtape in which I tried to create a circular narrative structure using tracks with different styles, moods and backgrounds: this songs are characterized by strong contents conveyed through intensity and a kinematic breath. 
I wanted the mixtape lived its own life like a soundtrack for the harmonious paradox of the decontextualization ... stolen pieces from a original context, once reassembled, become the scales of a uroboro that rotates endlessly without ever touching its tail. 
A little as the historical cyclicality, beyond our gaze, is punctuated by ancient rhythms, timeless sounds and universal music."

HDADD - Sense of Wonder

"Sense of Wonder" is an imaginary soundtrack made of jazz funk, psychedelic hermetism, electronics and a lot of Soul. But, in this case, it makes no sense to refer to labels when it is the instinctive harmony with which these, and other elements, are made to account for how much heart the "Body of Sound" can get to have 'till it turns into a savage genius.

This time HDADD leads into an utopian place where past and future collapse: an ephemeral experience, like a dream state that lasts the length of the record. A trance inducing attempt to conduct the soul of the listener into a primordial state of virginity, where the wilderness of feelings rules over any rational analysis. Like a sleepwalk into a paradise lost from a long time in the deepest corner of human consciousness.

This record is the Experience under X-rays scan: the soul is now warmed by an electric dawn or an ephemeral and definitive sunset, an enlightment obtained by fixing the heat of the horizon's aurora in a sparse meditation. The astonishment of a visitor who's taking the majestic silk roads that leads into the Artifacts of Heaven.

The listening experience is the artificial heaven itself where symbols, science, technology and soul collide inside the spirit of the whole: like a discovery of a new ecosystem where the elements are choreographed by the harmonic order of chaos which arouse the "Sense of Wonder".
An unabashed track after track makes its way through the branches, stones, water and the clouds of an almighty benign nature, which is bathing in the lights of the past and the future.

This work aims to suspend the reality and scratches the surface that hides the implicit numinous qualities of the listeners until the awake comes leaving them with the archetypical memory of the eternal that lives in every one of us.
Nothing more than a Spiritual Thing.
Om.

OKE' - Tree of Life

OKE' is the collective effort of three kindred spirits who enjoy astral traveling, and following their own pineal glands, or perhaps telepathy, accidentally collided planet QS. They like to describe their output as an eruption: it's the fire of creation that tries to reach the sky and every gram of its magma fell on the ground it's pure fertility.
If the mountain is the trunk its fountain of fire draws the missing part of their plan: a tree of life whose branches, leaves and fruits connect the earth to the sky.
Their music is the expression of inner worlds: the thin membrane which wraps their spirits is a sonic halo through which you can embrace their experience made of pure emotions expressed on the thin line that crosses the Cosmic Chaos to lead toward the Supreme Order.
Oke' is the Knowledge of the Heights through Elevation and Wisdom.

HDADD - Autogenesis

This new project from HDADD can be considered a collection of pictures which wants to portray the presence of life, its variety of subtle manifestations we can experience even in places that seem to have been abandoned.

Life can be seen as a chain reaction of activities, movements and permanent changes of status that may evolve from a bacteria to the final degrade of ashes.
But what remains then can really be considered only devastation or the spirit of life keeps blooming in the documentation of the previous activities?
Life exists everywhere just because the death of someone or something can only be perceived by a living observer, as death itself is the absence of perception and the zero level of feelings.

So this new concept is about this beautiful paradox which is most of the time an ephemeral and ambiguous brackets between the state of origin and that of nemesis, which in a historical observation plane can just be regarded natural mutation.
Autogenesis is a sonic fiction which celebrates the spontaneous processes of creation across different scenarios: a spectral analisys of life's heartbeat and the rythm of cosmic harmony.

Empty Places aren't Empty Spaces.
