Folder #05 by the volume settings folder

two years ago I started the Folders series aiming to experiment a little more with my compositions and at the same time to bring back the "long-form" in my music. I admit, it has never been easy to follow these rules, no matter how dedicated I was. nonetheless, I explored. and to my satisfaction, all my albums resulted in an uneven display of styles, something I've been proud of, for most time.

during the last year many things happened for better or worse, nothing quite dramatic but possibly leading me to look for closure, in the broadest meaning of the word.

in Folder #05 I'm searching for closure within my music, my compositional style. I chose to avoid synthesizers and any electronic instrument - which I separated into an entirely different album, Monodea. here are being played banjo, ukulele, a chamber organ, piano, acoustic - and electric, still quite warm and analog - guitars, all heavily effected and processed.

I went acoustic to fulfill my need of Home. the need of a place to be. right now it is among the misty flatlands of my North-East Italy, its rude people, its tamed yet real nature.

since 2011, an ambient / drone / post-rock music project developed by M. Beckmann. sketch and improv attitude to get sudden ambience.
