Rosi, Saverio -& Tez-
Rote Um
A fortunate and successful meeting "between the romantic and the analytical, the sentimental and the Pragmatic." This double soul lives inside the ambient-electronics contained in 'Rote Um,' the debut-album by the artistic partnership between TeZ (Maurizio Martinucci, member of Clock DVA since 2010) and Saverio Rosi (aka Leastupperbound and member of the band Open To The Sea with Enrico Coniglio and Matteo Uiggeri). Both Italian composers based in Amsterdam, TeZ and Rosi top a ten-year friendship by exchanging their musical skin to generate 8 gems of great intensity, divided between icy dronic expanses and warm electroacoustic embraces. The main feature of 'Rote Um' is its complementarity: Rosi's analog experiments, imbued with low-fi and field-recording, are nestled in the endless digital landscapes, with cold hues and full of hypnagogic sensations, painted by TeZ. All this gives birth to a synesthetic and touching experience, halfway between the moody ambient by Labradford and the nocturnal abstractionism by Mirt. All tracks on 'Rote Um' were recorded and mixed in 2022 at Optobunker Studio in Amsterdam, and wizardly mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. Cassette limited to 100 copies.
