ANTS RECORDS

David Monacchi’s eclectic approach to sound include both

the acoustic and the electronic world.

The real and the artificial. He easily mix them together and,

working with a lot of different sound sources, he’s able to

define a rich and ever-growing palette of “sound colors”. His

primary research with field recordings forms his “travelling

baggage” of inspirations. His meticolous action and dedication

gives the exact coordinates of his method, so well balanced

between the “natural” (chaotic) and the “built” (rational).

This collection represents an observation point on the

electro-acoustic side of his work.

La Selva degli Orologi, is an enchanting landscape of

mechanical objects brought to life by mean of a clear musical

sensibility.

Acqua, for water concrete sounds, is an exploration and a

cinematic journey thru the first source life.

Ciclo Circadiano, for environmental sounds, is the sum of

years of on-site natural recordings, assembled and re-worked,

in a genuine “concrete” way, over the 24-hours division of

the day.

Intorno all’Origine represent a sort of “Darwinian” summation,

a path that the author rides, going thru different states (the

archaic recalling, the real images, the artificial soundscapes,

the new sound experiences) finally finding his personal way of

making music. Paesaggi di Libero Ascolto (Free-Listenings

Landscapes) is the colourful portrait of a joyful musical mind,

that deserve an attentive listening.
