Fabio Orsi
Fabio Orsi is an Italian musician from the south of the country, active since the mid 2000s and among the most prolific figures of the Italian underground. He works with guitar, tape loops, field recordings and a few synthesizers, folded into long drones where the organic and the electronic become hard to tell apart and a single chord can keep unfolding for a quarter of an hour.
Live Dream
Live set by Fabio Orsi at Kina in Rome on 31 May 2026, a ritual in three sections made alongside the a sad song for A. project, with samples by Hiseka; October 2026.
