about

Following his logic of alloyed sounds, S. Chioini’s last title, Amour détritus, focuses essentially on club-oriented genres like drum & bass, electro and breaks while blending in a distinctive penchant for sonic experiments, lush ambiences and avant-garde tropes. “Wasteland (the wish)” sets the atmosphere with a landscape of postromantic harmonies and cinematic sound design inspired by the deep emotional journeys of Tarkovsky’s science-fiction films. This spans the range of an EP ambiguously dealing with climate change and a discomforted love of modern civilization. Reflecting on the thematic of Amour détritus, Chioini mentions: “I had this image of the world built on trash. A network made of scraps, too complex to understand fully, beautiful and bright and truly terrifying.”

Although the EP stands together as a fluid narrative, flowing from experimental tones to electro-style beats and an almost pop finale, an emphasis has to be put on the seven minutes “Overworked”. With its iterating synth lines, washed-out breaks and pumping kicks, the track develops as a rough piece of machinery, glowing near the flames of the coal furnaces on which it draws its power. It is pure force, propulsion and production, intensively processed and culminating in a precise drum solo that justifies numerous replays in itself.
