#LITTLE FLOATING ORACLES
After the release of the well-acclaimed ATŌMI new album entitled “Little Floating Oracles”
on Lady Blunt Records and the nomination as one of the 2022 best live performance by ADAF Greece, the artist announces the new audio visual live show, a visceral and emotional journey: sound design, music concrete, ambient techno and cinematic soundscapes morphing with embriogenesis and cosmic aesthetics, thanks to the visual contribution of the Turin based, 3D and visual artist Akasha (Riccardo Franco-Loiri).
The 7-tracks album by Berlin based producer and sound artist was inspired by the concept of fetus, perceived as a physical incarnation of the cosmic essence which embodies the endless knowledge of an Oracle. ATŌMI translates into sound the beauty and power of this assumption, recreating the atmospheres and going deeper into the various ancestral states of a new life in formation.
For the Canadian publication MEFD, ATŌMI “does nothing like the others”.
The Berlin-based Italian music producer and sound artist Lorenzo Setti has been described as “spellbinding” by Foxy Digitalis and “one of the most original of his generation” by Nicchia Elettronica, his practice converges elements of immersive installation art, spatial sound design and interactive A/V performance.
His sound touches a wide range of electronic music genres, such as ambient-techno, mystic minimalism and cinematic with hints of contemporary classical music.
He has produced two solo albums: Little Floating Oracles (Lady Blunt Records, 2022), ARMØNIA (Jikken Records, 2020) and has been featured on VA compilations and collaborative releases such as: Creatures 4 (White Forest Records, 2023), Sounds of Solidarity, CLOSE/STARE (Oigovisiones Label, 2022) and WE by Laura Masotto (7K!, 2021).
His debut album’s A/V live show has been nominated as one of the best 2021 performances by ADAF Greece.
He has exhibit and performed in different festivals and venues, notably Ars Elettronica Garden NY, MMMAD Festival Urbano de Arte Digital de Madrid, Venice Climate Change Pavilion, Lightbox NYC - Creative Code Festival, Graphic Days Torino - Seeyousound, Fuorisalone Milano.
