Love Blast 06 - Stefano Rocchi "Contatto"

The name of the extended play borns from a consistent concept of cooperation between the man and the machines; approaching the music which lives through a rich organic harmony. The whole work aims to bring that lively musical warmth that, due to a constant neverending evolution of technologies, is getting less and less relevant. The minimal hypnotic flow of the work borns from the intro track "Insomnia", which provides the electronic atmosphere as a landscape around the listener to get involved with the trip. The following track of the A side is strongly contrapposed to this ambient, featuring dark acid beats; "Overclock", will throw us to darker mechanical worlds, still sticking to the essentialism of the sounds. The B side gives a new swing to the trip featuring melodies, "Technology" directly linked with the previous acid track, develops the acid journey based on an oldschool essentialism which is well clear and direct using ripetitive rythms and a classic bassline riff. The outro "Confusion", as the intro, takes the listener by hand and gently brings him into emotional atmosphears through the usage of carpet synths and unconventional surprising elements. The whole work can be listened starting from both sides, what the listener will feel will be in both occasions feelings of a cycle which naturally flows, having some breaks, pauses but always keeping the journey alive; winning and failing according to the human's limitations alongside the machine ones, exactly as what we experience in our nowadays existence.
