Dōgen by Vittorio Guindani

一既存の価値観や先入観を手放した
ひとりのイタリア人サウンドアーティスト、
" Vittorio Guindani "が描く"禅"への渾身のオマージュ作.
不確かで不完全な美しくも儚い小さな音の静寂作品集一

Name artist: Vittorio Guindani

Title: Dōgen

About the album:
Dōgen is inspired by Eihei Dōgen (1200-1253) the buddhist master, whose poetry and thinking deeply influenced Zen So-To.
Dōgen is crafted in a simple, quietly meditative way, playing with objects, small sounds, as discovered them for the first time, trying “to forget what I know”.
Everything in uncertain, imperfection is beauty.

My warmest gratitude to: Stefania Prandelli, Luigi Turra, Fabio Perletta, Giuseppe Ielasi, Elia Piana, Luca Lanfredi, Masanori Hirobe.

In loving memory of my mother, Silvana (1936-2024)
and my father, Luigi (1929-2020)


A short bio:
Vittorio Guindani (b. 1969) is interested in silence, soundscape, emptiness 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 the 901editions label.
Recently he shared micro live tour with Luigi Turra, Luca Formentini, Giuseppe Ielasi, Fabio Perletta, Elia Piana.
