CD, 6-panel digisleeve, ltd. 200 copies
"I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd" is a concept album centered on the use of the voice. What shape does the voice take when conveying an emotion? The compositions in this work are made up almost exclusively of voices—an extensive spectrum of voices that sing, speak, whisper, processed through Auto-Tune, or emerge from WhatsApp messages, VSTs, analog and digital keyboards from the ’80s and ’90s, field recordings, and samples from films, TV, and YouTube.
"I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd" is an emotional exploration of the role of the voice, the only instrument generated within our own bodies. The result is a study of the intimate relationship between the voice and the body, the voice and the self, and the voice and the people around us. A journey that moves from the materiality of the body to divination, passing through inner, aesthetic, and amorous exploration.
The titles of the compositions are inspired by the work of Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader.
SPLENDORE is an Italian musician, DJ, curator, and performer from Ivrea, a small town in northern Italy.
