Guido Affini: Lulla By • [Modulo#5 Vs.] • feat Fantuz
(Independent / January 17, 2025)
Music and science are not strange bedfellows, to twist the old saying. Italian multidisciplinary composer, sound designer and artist Guido Affini's latest piece offers proof.
He creates a sound environment with glitches through sample synths and oscillator synths, with particular attention to granular synthesis.
The track is atmospheric but also affecting, with a kind of accessible, yet spacey, sensibility. It progresses from mood to mood, or scene to scene, in a way that feels seamless.
Affini says he's influenced by contemporary music, ambient music, edm, post rock and drone to free jazz and noise, and you can hear bits of all that interwoven in the piece.
It's a nice blend of scientific and esoteric inquiry with emotionalism and an understanding of how to take the listener on a journey that builds in intensity, ebbs and flows over the course of the track.
Guido Affino plays the live electronics, granular and modular synth, and glassharmonica, featuring Federico Fantuz on guitar.
