Andrea Senatore – Vulkan

CD – Minus Habens

The album opens with the title track “Vulkan”, a piece characterized by the interesting voice of Carmen Buss and a series of delicate, almost ambient treatments. The sweetness of these quiet electronic sequences is followed by the much sharper “Clouds”, which features Palestinian singer-songwriter Nabil Bey (Radiodervish). Subtle world music influences appear to permeate the work of Andrea Senatore, a young electronic music composer and multi-instrumentalist from Salento. Now produced by Ivan Iusco of the Minus Habens label, Senatore has previously worked on a number of electropop projects, collaborated with cellist Giovanni Sollima and has written several film and advert soundtracks. The trumpet of Giorgio Distante appears in “Noom” and “T-Bana”, two elegant proposals that are more abstract and melodic, and feel closer to a sense of pop art contemporaneity. In “Shiro-ko” and “Droma” Mitsuko Morita contributes as an actress. The tracks are weaved poetically, hanging between spirit and matter, searching for new musical trajectories. We recommend the single video, directed by Dualbit, as well as the cover artwork by Ernesto Galizia and MH Graphicks & Consumed Art. The various influences on the music aren’t particularly defined, with club culture, field recordings, computer sounds, exoticisms, synthetic structures, ballads and abstraction all present. This is most likely a transitional work, but it is nevertheless agreeable and well organized.
