ORA D’ARIA con alberto boccardi.

a few days before the lockdown, we were planning a VOLUME presentation of Alberto Boccardi’s new album, CAIRO PRIMO, just released for Oltrarno Recordings. it would not have been a real live but a set in which Alberto would have had to select some music and sounds that inspired the record, alternating with some of his tracks. that never happened but alberto has however released CAIRO PRIMO, which is a great record of electroacoustic beauty and is out now, and has mixed this ORA D’ARIA that will bring you far away and tells a lot about his Egyptian “parallel life”.
You can check, listen and buy CAIRO PRIMO here.

ORA D’ARIA con everest magma.

since I know him, rella has changed several times. not out of a spirit of adaptation but, on the contrary, to adapt his surroundings to himself. always in focus, never taken for granted, always with a gaze projected towards a parallel dimension. its latest mutation, which occurred a few years ago (but then there are mutations in mutations which is yet another story), is called Everest Magma. last year he made one of the best records of 2019 entitled Minus Plus Escapism, released for Boring Machines, inspired by the salvia divinorum. this mix opens with a track of Zuvuya feat. Terence McKenna inspired by the DMT. ok, this ORA D’ARIA lasts 40 “real” minutes, but it doesn’t matter. if you close your eyes and let yourself be carried away, time and space will no longer make sense.

TRACKLIST:

Zuvuya feat. Terence Mckenna “Dream Matrix Telemetry” (excerpt)
Takashi Kokubo “海底の中の夢”
Yoshiaki Ochi “Madal Sonic”
Black Dice “Endless Happiness” (excerpt)
Henry Wolff & Nancy Hennings “Skybells I”
Roberto Musci “Ghost Train”
Psychic TV “Eleusis”
Moondog “Fujiyama 2”
Blind Uncle Gaspard “Sur Le Bord De L’eau”
Mariah “視線”

ORA D’ARIA con servant songs.

I met Nicola a few years ago, I don’t remember where. I remember, however, that I played with my band and he played with his, Vulturum. Now that band no longer exists but there is Servant Songs, which is his solo project with which he released a great album last year called Life Without War. He also played at VOLUME a couple of years ago, for a festival called H E X which he, together with Maurizio Abate, helped me organize. He has always been a big friend of VOLUME and I am happy that he gave us this mix that well represents his huge musical sensitivity. It’s called “straniamento di primavera“.

TRACKLIST:

The Magnetic Fields – World Love
Ton Steine Scherben – Macht Kaputt Was Euch Kaputt Macht
Ijahman Levi – Closer to You
Yukihiro Takahashi – Connection
Thomas Leer – Lust for Loneliness
Jim O’Rourke – Movie on The Way Down
Jon Brion – Dead to The World

ORA D’ARIA con nice strangers.

Silvia is one of the most passionate about music girls I know. I met her a few years ago, and even then Nice Strangers did a wonderful and super interesting research, exploring independent micro-labels, putting together interviews, listenings, first from home then on several italian and international radios, now not even in Italy anymore. She’s also recently been spotted on NTS. finally, one of the beautiful Nice Strangers’ mixes, which explore more and more deeply the abysses of experimental music, has become an ORA D’ARIA for VOLUME.

TRACKLIST:

Ruth Anderson – The Pregnant Dream
Roméo Poirier & Lars Haga Raavand – Båndet av regn
D.K. – Untitled 2

ORA D’ARIA con marco paltrinieri.

Marco Paltrinieri, member of Discipula, visual research group. Soon he should have released his first album for Canti Magnetici.

“The mix is ​​a very spontaneous response to my, certainly privileged, quarantine condition. I am in fact with my family in a house in the middle of Les Cevennes National Park in France. No one here, so there are no tangible differences compared to before if not the inability to leave the house. The news about the virus arrives as muffled by the mountains that surround us making everything even more surreal. An interesting detail is that the first piece of the mix (an extract) is a composition written by Luc Ferrari after visiting the Causse Méjean, a desolate plateau very close to where I am. The landscape described in music by Ferrari is more or less the same that I have right now in front of my eyes”.

TRACKLIST:

Luc Ferrari – Petit Symphonie Intuitive Pour Un Paysage De Printemps
Joanna Brouk – Return to the Deep
Chaines – For Your Own Good
Slowdive – J’s Heaven
Graham Lambkin – Axion
Alex Zhang Hungtai – Yaumatei
Moses Sumney – Make Out In My Car
Stephan Mathieu – Stasis 6 (Jonesey The Ship Cat’s Dream)
Massimo Toniutti – Vecchi Villaggi
Aram Saroyan – Untitled
Giuseppe Ielasi – 04
Abul Mogard – Over My Head
Ulla – Something I Can Show
HTRK – Mentions
Hildur Guðnadóttir – Dealing With Distruction
Ryuichi Sakamoto – Ff
David Dunn – Tabula Angelorum Bonorum 49 4
JAB – Chanterai Por Mon Coraige
