about

TAPES
Imagine a distant future from which to look at modern day civilization as we look at the most ancient human civilizations.
Every relic of those antiquities is precious, is collected and meticulously studied.

TAPES are relics, relics of a future past, buried under ashes and rubble.
Today they resurfaced and have been recovered.

Those tapes, so rare, give back the sound of an era and its decadence, letting out a secret desire for change and a deep search for oneself.
They tell, through sound, of the human soul and its fragility.
These rediscovered cassettes contain dreams, visions and desires albeit recorded on disused media.
TAPES takes us back in time by taking a leap into the future.

TAPES is a collection of songs made in "one take" sessions performed through a modular synthesis system, a pedal reverb and originally recorded on magnetic tape through a 1984 Tascam Porta One recorder.
Wide, sweet, alien environments, low frequency modulations, giant reverbs, analog saturation and hiss are what you can find in this ambient and experimental work.

TAPES is a visionary, decadent, futuristic, mystical and science fiction EP, capable of taking the listener to distant or particularly close worlds.
Listening to him is like watching a flower grow on the edge of the event horizon.

Andy Morello
Born in 1973, Andy Morello is involved in electronic music, productions and remixes, since a long time. His research is aimed at finding the link between improvisation and programming. Either playing live or in his studio, Andy travels through rarefaction, granularization, dub, techno and experimentation: a sort of extemporaneous sound installation, created on the spot, unique. From 2017, Andy is deeply passionate to modular synthesis, starting from 2018 the Milano Modulare community, coordinating in 2019 the realization of the first modular day in Milan “Connessioni a modular journey” realized in partnership with Machine Jockey and LePark. Never exhausted, Andy opens in 2020 the Voltage Creative Studio, a recording studio dedicated to musicians, vocalists and producers, which aims to become a reference point both for Milan modular community and for “modular based” productions and sound design. Between 2020 and 2021, Andy publishes a solo work (Collateral Fluxus of imaginary thoughts), and a collaborative album with Duscio (Electricults), both at 51Beats. In 2021, he participated in several festivals including Phoenix Synthesizer Festival (online), PerAspera Festival in Bologna and Connessioni mini festival in Milan.
Still in 2021, Andy released a song for the “Modular Cuisine” EP (digital and vinyl, 51Beats), also collaborating in the realization of the live presentation event. In 2022 Andy joins the 51Beats’ team, also starting a collaboration with Radio 20158 with the “Electrica Salsa” podcast. Still in 2022, he publishes a remix in the “Tragedy After Party” album (Perciante Rocco) and a song for "Leaftape True Peaks" (Pitch the Noise Records).
