-------------------------------------------------------------

Music for vanished people was conceived as a series of improvisations that introduced different artists into our alchemical, asynchronous remote collaboration process, where time and space play almost no role. Each guest answered the call delving into the subject with his preferred instrument.

The result is an album that explores both the dynamics of disappearing and the different emotions that vanishing evokes.
From the multitude of individuals and families who lost their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea to a whole population that apparently imploded without leaving a trace, from persons who were forgotten to those who simply disappeared, we travel between private and universal feelings of loss.

This is an album of slow evanescence and alluring beauty built on soothing soundscapes interrupted by tiny incremental changes and partly melodious vibes. [...] Those grieving and plaintive nostalgic pieces will lead the listener into a vast space of sentimental reveries and morosely sorrowing wandering estates.
Philippe Blache on Igloomag

-------------------------------------------------------------

La pratica sonora di Nicola Fornasari si consacra come non mai a quell'evanescenza già da ultimo esplorata nel recente "Embodying Formlessness" e adesso elevata a metafora di una fuggevolezza al tempo stesso fisica e della memoria.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Un'evocativa immersione in un universo di evanescenti sensazioni che galleggiano in un indefinito territorio privo di connotazione spazio-temporale.

The duo is formed by Xu (Nicola Fornasari) + Xue (Andrea Poli). The two have not been seeing each other for some years now and have developed a kind of alchemical, asynchronous remote collaboration as a creative process, where time and space play almost no role.
