“Electrical Emotions” is Andy Morello's first modular-techno EP.
Once again, the eclectic performer and producer amazes us with a new studio work which follows his first two EPs, “Collateral Fluxus of Imaginary Thoughts” (2020) and “Tapes” (2022), both published by 51Beats.
Electrical Emotions is hypnotic, bassy, and alienating. It will bring you towards distant world to perform frenetic dances.
Philipp Dick wondered whether Androids were dreaming about electric sheep… well, we don’t know, but surely humans will dream about obscure clubs and strobe lights while listening to Electrical Emotions!
Electrical Emotions connects “electricity” and “emotions”, with the latest being quite a special kind of electrical signal … and this is what makes us human indeed ...
“Electrica” and “Ghost” are produced by Andy Morello, with the EP closing with an "Electrica” version as re-edited, remixed, and produced by Duscio, formerly appeared jointly with Andy within their album “Electricults” (2021, 51Beats).
Born in 1973, a lifelong musician, Andy Morello currently deals with electronic music, productions and remixes.
Using new technologies, associated with typically analogue ones, his research as a producer is aimed at finding the link between improvisation and programming. His sound is a journey between rarefaction, deconstruction, granularization, dub, techno and experimentation.
He arrived at modular synthesis in 2017, after a long musical journey based on ska, reggae, dub, electronic productions and live performances, both solo and with other musicians, through which he was able to perform on numerous stages from 1997 to today.
In 2018 he created the Milano Modular community, receiving numerous members from all over Italy and gathering the support of many artists and performers.
For Milano Modulare, in 2019, he collaborated as artistic coordinator in the creation of the first modular day in Milan "Connessioni a modular journey" created in partnership with Machine Jockey and LePark.
In 2020 he launched the Voltage Creative Studio, a recording studio dedicated to musicians, vocalists and producers, which aims to become a point of reference both for the Milanese modular community and for "modular based" productions and sound design.
Between 2020 and 2021 he published a solo work for 51Beats Label and a second work in collaboration with the producer Duscio.
In 2021 he participates in several festivals including Phoenix Synthesizer Festival (online), PerAspera Festival in Bologna and the Connessioni mini festival in Milan.
For 51beats he publishes a song on the Modular Cuisine EP (digital and vinyl) collaborating in the creation of the live presentation event.
In 2022 he joined 51Beats, started the collaboration with Radio 20158 creating Electrica Salsa, a podcast dedicated to electronic music, published a remix published on the album Tragedy After Party by Perciante Rocco and another song in the release "Leaftape True Peaks" by Pitch the Noise Records. He also produces the EP "Unheimlich Vol. 1" by the artist My Name Is Luca.
In 2023 he artistically produced the Remix album "Unheimlich Vol.1 Rework", an album in which he involved numerous producers in reworking the tracks of the work produced for My Name Is Luca.
He began his collaboration with the DJ Vinile Virile collective with which he played on several occasions as a resident of Nuovo Armenia in Milan, for which he became a member and volunteer, taking care of the organization of musical events and technical audio support, also continuing his activity as promoter of Milano Modulare celebrating the first 5 years of life of the Milanese modular community.
The relationship with 51beats as a valid collaborator and musical scout was consolidated by introducing Cirro to the label, its first artist presented to the public as a talent scout.
His work of analogue visual experimentation also materializes through the publication of the video clip of the song "No Gravity Landing" by the artist Plasman, furthermore with the artist Carlo Beccaria, aka Becks, he gives life to the duo Visual Binary with which he creates analogue and experimental visual matrix.
In 2024 he released his first Techno EP "electrical Emotions", naturally with 51beats label.
