“LULLABY IN OPUS SCOPS MINOR”
Track
WITH/IN FLOODS EP
VCCP & ATME Records 2025
“Within Floods” aims to connect the audience within unexpected sonic-liquid cartographies, immersing themselves in different stages of a flooding event, while connecting geographies, from Venice to Berlin, from New York to Naples, crossing geopolitical borders just as water bodies and hydro-geological cycle do.
WITHIN FLOOD
The idea for this Various Artist EP was born out of the need to sensitize an audience increasingly involved or not in ecological catastrophes to the different perspectives of contemplating a powerful and disruptive event such as a flood.
In this context of turbulence, storms and floods disrupt our perception of reality. A flood crisscrosses and soils the landscape, dissolves our conditions, our fears, our certainties, but at the same time brings up new ones, reshapes the landscape, obliging us to see the world from a water perspective, rather than the terrestrial we used to know.
As an act of weatherscaping, the title “Within Floods”, connects the sonic and the physical landscape suggesting a shift from “being in the weather” to “be a weather being”, pulling and re-questioning on the same physical and quantic uncertainty that floats in our epoch.
What does it mean to work on a sonic level the disrupted liquid boundaries of a flood?
It is indeed an epistemological act of weatherscaping, crossing boundaries between the human scale and the surrounding ecosystems.
A storm, like a composition, is made of a Prélude, an electric calm before the storm. An electric charged silence, and a dense stillness inflates in the air.
Then, at a sudden and violent climax, the perfect storm expresses itself de-charging all the energy stored in months of crisis, pollution and desperation.
Lightnings of energy, thunder and rhythms break our routine and our indifference, opening up a space for freedom.
When the storm decides to get quiet, with its gentle anger getting asleep, another quiet, a wet, flooded one, appears to make silver shiny puddles on our previous landscapes.
Nothing is as it was before.
