Strame by VITTORIO GUINDANI

LINE_162

LINE presents the latest work by Italian sound artist Vittorio Guindani. 'Strame' is a series of incredibly delicate and intriguing miniatures formed from his field recordings.

'Strame' is with no doubt the most dramatic of my recordings.

Conceived as a natural evolution of my previous releases about fragmentation and debris, 'Strame' is composed by field recordings manipulated in an expressionist way instead of an impressionist glance.

Sadly, the news of this Epoch is terrible and this feeling of fear and impotence in front of all this mess deeply influenced my way of thinking and working.

'Strame' is a collection of ashes, it testify a sense of loss, maybe a surrender and, at the same time, an attempt to react hopefully through the ruins.

For a better experience I suggest to listen to this album at a low volume.

Vittorio Guindani (b. 1969) is interested in silence, soundscape, void, field recordings and small sounds, which he creates with objects, loops and anything endowed with its own dust.

His focus is to create a presence instead of music, a meditative sound on the threshold, in a balance between life and death, wondering about impermanence.

He has collaborated with contemporary dance companies and several artists including video makers, illustrators, choreographers, theatre directors and musicians.

In 2020, Guindani released his debut album "Jisei" and “Materia Breve” in 2023, both for 901editions (IT) and “Dōgen”, a digital release for Unqua (JP) in 2025.

Recently he shared micro live tour with Luigi Turra, Luca Formentini, Giuseppe Ielasi, Fabio Perletta, and Elia Piana.
