about

An expressive showcase of Flavia’s highly developed and deeply researched sound. “Glitch” renders her unique cello augmented with extended techniques, voice, synth, field recording, loops and live electronics. An organic world where perfection flutters and distorts with a microcosmic grace. The work “Glitch” is focused on the aesthetic of interferences, errors, and sound granules in a melt of acoustics and electronics. A glitch, a fault in an electronic system, becomes a malfunction of the classical way of playing the cello, far from the classical music canons to deconstruct the cello sound into small sound cells to experiment with different possibilities, so much that almost all the record sounds come from the processing of the instrument. Perfection offers no incentive for improvement and mistake is to go further. However unpredictable it may be, it has its own harmony. Integrating the error in a musical composition makes the concept itself harmonic.

"The error is there to remind the inexhaustible complexity of reality"

Drifting through the early 2023 void; staring at the rather uninspiring grey skies behind my screen, the formless, comforting ambient clouds seeping through my speakers from the new Russ Young LP on Audiobulb are the perfect adjunct to this limbo state, as I unhurriedly sharpen my pencil, contemplate the to do list & enjoy the calm before the storm.
