ATŌMI

2022 - Sperimentale, Elettronica, Ambient

Descrizione

The first of three concept EPs "ARMØNIA", beautifully illustrated by Serjan Burlak ( Biogenic ), mixed and mastered by Davide Cristiani at Bombanella Soundscapes and published through the Japanese label Jikken Records on September 17th, 2020, embodies the research, the unceasing curiosity and emotions of the musician and producer ATŌMI artist alias of Lorenz Setti.

Well acclaimed by the critics that describe it as “an Ep that goes beyond the boundaries of music” _Radioaktiv or "this electronic album is dark, ambient, and highly textured. Its abstractions form pictures in your mind." _The Prog Mind and yet “Five tracks for five different types of approach to electronic sound art. This expressive multiplicity clearly reveals the musician’s manyfold potentialities and his extreme compositional flexibility.” _Europa e Cultura Elettronica

The interest in science and ancient writings led the artist to encode a journey started from the planet’s orbit frequencies of the solar system, into music. A musical research that goes beyond the stringent scientific approach and connects to the spiritual and philosophical world through the use of symbols.

Through the combination and the symbolic representation of different cultures, traditions and philosophies, from the Chinese elements to alchemy, from astrology to I Ching through the Indian chakras, hermeticism and the Pythagorean Tetraktys, the five tracks: Unveil, Evolve, Purify, IAM and OM speak of an ascending path.
They go beyond the word and become symbolism, speaking simultaneously with both the conscious and the unconscious part of our being.

______________VIDEOS

ATŌMI debut EP acquires new horizons and nuances, thanks to the collaboration with five visual artists: Alessandra Leone, Carlo Fanchini, Chiara De Maria, Matteo Gatti and Stefano Benatti.
The intent is to once again cross all the borders, through the re-elaboration of the symbology and concept that permeate the EP, combining five unique ways of conceiving video art.

The concept is simple but opens up to unexpected paths: five tracks, five visual artists and five videos, one per artist.
Although profoundly distant in the choice of subjects, in the aesthetics and shooting technique, the videos are strongly connected and linked to each other, as directed by a single conductor, who conveys emotions and perceptions, above the parts, towards new goals of human awareness.
