ROOTS was created in parallel with GAME OVER. It comes from the same source: an old folder simply called “Industrial Lino”, rescued from an ancient laptop still running Windows 2000.
I’ve been making electronic music since 1994. Over the decades, a lot of unfinished ideas turned into digital “cardboard corpses” ... forgotten drafts, broken versions, files that survived only by accident. Finding this folder again felt like digging up a time capsule.
With ROOTS, I hope you can hear that feeling: how genuinely happy I was to save a few of my old roots from disappearing for good.
Lino Casu was born 24.12.1978. At the age of 6 he took classic Guitar lessons but what took a big part of his Soul was his first Computer (386 IBM) at the age of 10. He experimented with Mod-Plug-Tracker on Amiga in the early age of 14. Stumbled over Cubase on an Atari not very much later and till today he loves to create out of Noise Something that at last might could be understood as Music.
