First Light by Dennis Callaci & Heimito Künst

Heimito Kunst has issued two slabs of outre music utilizing synthesizers, church organs, bells, contact mics and found sound to create sheets of incredibly listenable and addictive works of instrumental music. The odd alto vocal here or guitar there are used to punctuate the dramatics for his 2021 debut on Dissipatio and his 2022 Shrimper release, both of which are now out of print. Kunst is part of a new collective of music makers in Italy that are forward looking, untethered to laptops to generate sound. This collaborative record by Kunst and Dennis Callaci features music written and performed by Heimito with Callaci’s lyrics and vocals punctuating the dynamics.

Dennis Callaci is in the band Refrigerator and has issued a number of solo recordings as well as collaborative records with Simon Joyner and John Davis among others over the last thirty five years. This record features music written and performed by Kunst with Callaci's lyrics and vocals. These songs might be spotted wafting in the ether of Camberwell Now, Xpressway cassettes, E. Lonnie Methe viola or maybe Romy Scheider's perfume in the 1980 film Death Watch. The vocals, vulnerable and emotive lare ayered over in-the-red synths, pulsating rhythms and ghostly piano lines.
Callaci and Kunst will be doing European dates in the fall in the fall followed by a short west coast tour in the new year.
