about

In Light not Light, as the titles suggest, each track could be, or not be, each draws a scenario where the listener is the subject, and the composer has already completed his task.
The sound, too, comes from an instrument (classical guitar) that is no longer itself, shaped and transformed by electronics into its future projection. Sometimes you can find traces of natural sounds, as if to preserve a connection with the original idea, sometimes I inserted some field recordings, as little suggestions.

...Ognuna delle sette tracce è esplicitamente legata a un’immagine – sia essa concreta o astratta, naturale o artefatta – ma che nello stesso titolo viene subito negata, ammettendo così la sua radice illusoria ma con ciò affermandone anche lo stato di entità espressiva autonoma, ispirata al dominio del reale ma ben distinta da una sua mera imitazione.
...Come a voler conciliare onnipotenza e fragilità, Mosconi non teme alcun effetto straniante coi suoi brevi inserti di chitarra classica, pensosi arpeggi in tonalità minore che non interrompono bensì rafforzano il tratto dimesso e malinconico di certe composizioni.
Michele Palozzo, OndaRock

...Lavorando sull’esile crinale tra realtà e rappresentazione, Federico Mosconi plasma così una materia sonora non meno impalpabile che evocativa, condensata in una sintesi affascinante e densa di suggestioni, nella quale può liberamente cogliersi il concetto suggerito dall’artista, ovvero la sua assenza.
Music Won't Save You

...Partendo dalle risonanze di una chitarra classica filtrare fino ad assumere la forma di viscoso flusso di frequenze sintetiche da modulare finemente, il musicista veneto plasma una sequenza di liquide visioni che dell’immagine originante trattengono il portato sensoriale rinunciando quasi totalmente alla mimesi del suono...
Ne scaturisce un evocativo itinerario di trame evanescenti in costante evoluzione che si espandono secondo coordinate cangianti...
SoWhat

Light not Light è un disco elegantissimo, dove l’elettronica diventa un metodo preciso di sviluppo. Sette brani strumentali di media lunghezza ci portano dove non ti aspetti, conducendoci con soave lirismo al confine di quello che c’è anche quando non è immediatamente palese ai nostri sensi. Ogni pezzo mette l’ascoltatore nella condizione di sentirsi parte della situazione per poi togliergli delicatamente la terra da sotto ai piedi, lasciandolo da solo, sospeso in qualcosa di riconoscibile anche se… non c’è stato mai.

about

federico mosconi Italy

I hold degrees in classical guitar and in multimedia composition. My live performances range from classical to contemporary music as well as from solo recitals to orchestral works. Many years of practice with the acoustic instrument has influenced my approach to sound. I'm constantly looking for the perfect balance between purity and slight imperfection, where sound comes to life. ... more
