SACROBOSCO: new single - out now!
After the release for Trovarobato of the twin works IVXVI and IXVXI, as well as a musically productive period culminating in the launch of his own record company Antinational Noise, musician and producer Giacomo Giunchedi alias SACROBOSCO had a new album in store, his third to be precise, which was released by his own newly formed label. Opening the door to this chapter was the single "Once", released on March 14th as the first excerpt from the record and distributed by Audioglobe.
In this song, as in the entire album, the artist continued his electronic experimentation venturing into more lo-fi territories that verge on the concept of Hauntology, intending to honor a cult object from the '90s: the Walkman, with its unique mechanism that allowed tapes to be overdubbed multiple times, causing hidden and never completely erased tracks to resurface, destined to reappear during the listening experience. A primarily affective connection, resulting in a sound manipulation operation to reveal new dimensions, among overlaps and fragments that returned from the past.
Covered in reverberations and soft, suspended beats, the song seemed to unfold melodically in the hypnotic rustle of an old tape reemerging from the stream of consciousness. Between vaporwave and UK Garage sounds, the absolute protagonist was the sample of "Show Me Love" by Robin S., a ‘90s house classic that was intertwined with other samples until it gave life to a new vocal section immersed in a dreamy, hazy and melancholic atmosphere. The release was enriched with two additional tracks included as B-sides, "Now Is Always" and "Sleepwalker", which continued on the same wavelength, encouraging an even deeper immersion into the sonic suggestions and enhancing the experience with a sense of continuous temporal flow.
Through manipulation, distortion and recomposition, Sacrobosco displayed the fragmented representation of a collective remembering, returning excerpts of memory in a timeless loop. In doing so, he reaffirmed his mastery in shaping sound, fueling anticipation for an album that promised to be filled with new musical explorations and evolutions.
