Desert Smell
*200 copies limited edition* "Desert Smell", a precious collaborative album by Fabio Orsi and Massimo Amato, is fundamentally centred on suffused and dreamy ambient atmospheres, with inserts of ethereal female voice, suspended notes of reverberated piano, echoes in reverse, breaths of synthetic woodwinds, floating and enveloping pads, fragments of abstract sounds, sequencer phrases sometimes kept soberly in the background, and sometimes reminding of cosmic memories brought more energetically to …
We Could For Hours
2008 release ** 199 copies limited edition. Original 2007 CD copies repackaged in a new cover. The old A Silent Place warehouse was flooded by water, so a big amount of goods has been destroyed, in particular the original covers and all printed matters. Few original CD copies were saved and now found, so a new edition has been released. Packaged in a new redesigned cover. "We Could For Hours is instability. It represents the will to open the gates of unknown. It is the dark, whispered sounds and…
Night Shapes
*50 copies limited edition* A Silent Place is back and proudly presents a new Fabio Orsi album, recorded live, edited and mastered in June 2020 in litoranea salentina (Apulia). For this release Fabio plays mono synths and FM synth and effects. Similar to the latest releases, this five-tracks album also maintains electronic atmospheres, sometimes cold and dark, sometimes melodic, but always deep. Another true gem of deep electronic, ambient and cosmic music from Fabio Orsi! The album is available…
OT/OT
*300 copies limited edition* Welcome to the third chapter of an enthralling musical journey led by Fabio Orsi and Maurizio Martinucci (aka TeZ), spanning across three albums. The adventure began in 2022 with the CD "OT/TO", followed by "TO/OT" the following year. In this latest release, a mesmerizing blend of sounds and emotions unfolds, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of elements. With a predominant vintage imprint, the album evokes echoes of electronic music from the '70s to the '90s,…
Dust At Night
*200 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* Fabio Orsi is that imaginative weaver of atmospheres for great horizons that each time takes the mind and intellect far away. The new "Dust at Night", a 3-stage journey into the aural interspaces of the most immersive and alienating mantric-minimalist diction, is no exception. It is impossible to homologate the Italian composer's musical figure except perhaps to connect it by emotional induction to the astral radiations of Brian Eno in his am…
TO/OT
*200 copies limited edition* With the present "TO/OT", the duo comprising Orsi and TeZ (Clock Dva) continue in a straight line along the 'furrow' already traced with the previous "OT/TO", inverting the 'position' of the roles in the control room compared to it. Electronic patterns and programmed rhythmic parts make up these load-bearing plots that describe a synthetic universe adjacent to the one traversed by the first cosmic couriers, where filters emphasise the progressions, and soft and evoca…
Arcoiris
*200 copies limited wedition. In process of stocking* "Backwards is really pleased to present the new Fabio Orsi release. This time Fabio offered a monumental work: eight long tracks contained in a huge box set with four compact discs. Musically it stands on the new course of the artist: together with the classic ambient and drone atmospheres that we know well, the work has more dynamic parts with rhythms and pulsations, and more melodic parts. A perfect meeting between ambient music and berlin-…
Inerte
*300 copies limited edition.* First collaboration between Massimo Amato (also known for his acclaimed La Centrale Elettrica (2016) album), and Fabio Orsi, born from a mutual esteem that later became a solid friendship. The collaboration was born from an exchange of material, which immediately creates a synergy and an understanding between them. The six tracks of Inerte draw inspiration from the composition of noble gases, creating the perfect synthesis between the sidereal and electronic sounds …
Cinque Movimenti per A.
*200 copies limited edition* A captivating electronic symphony in five movements recorded live, which begins almost like a Pastorale. Bucolic atmospheres that, albeit through completely different sonorities, seem to link Fabio Orsi back to the origins of his music at the beginning of the millennium, when the inspiration drawn from his home territory and popular tradition was strong. The instruments then paint a sort of medieval dance, veering further into quiet, purely ambient atmospheres, among…
L'Alchimista
Limited edition of 200 copies.* "L'Alchimista" consists of the recordings taken during a live performance made especially on occasion of the vernissage for the exhibition of the same name curated by Alessandra Guttagliere at Cave Contemporary in Grottaglie.
In the wake of his latest published works, Fabio Orsi composed and played a series of pieces that enhance the more cinematic aspect of his music. The sounds on this work have an ever-increasingly timeless quality, with no more boundaries for …
Reverse Diverse
** Edition of 200 ** An album of sublime workmanship, developed by one of the finest Italian artists in that experimental context in the broadest sense that Fabio Orsi has explored over the years in every direction, with the uncommon ability to always go 'beyond', renewing himself, seeking new sounds and new forms of expression, without ever completely abandoning the 'main' path from which he began his long journey many years ago. In this Reverse Diverse, the artist combines sounds and musical o…
Di Lumi e Chiarori

Musically it stands on the new course of the artist: together with the classic ambient and drone atmospheres that we know well, the work has more dynamic parts with rhythms and pulsations, and more melodic parts.

Motel a Tre Stelle
A surprising new work (and a new artistic path) for Fabio Orsi. Motel a Tre Stelle follows paths traced by the legendary cosmic couriers, weaving magnificent sound carpets that recall the most evocative Ambient music of which Orsi is a master. This new work represents a new beginning... We still don't know the final destination, but it's so exciting to accompany Fabio along this way. The CD is released in an edition of 300 copies in ecopack wallet; the cover and artwork feature pictures taken by…
Forse arrivi
**100 copies** Here comes the newest work by Fabio Orsi and his first ever 10" vinyl release, limited to only 100 copies. 25 minutes equally split in two tracks entitled Forse arrivi prima and Forse arrivi dopo that tell a story with sound in a peculiar way which is uniquely Fabio's own. A journey by train told by those waiting at the station. The wait. The amazement. The joy of meeting. Maybe you'll get there sooner... Maybe you'll get there later. Between Ambient and Berlin-style electronics, …
Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma
Boring Machine released the first work by Fabio Orsi after his move from native Puglia to Berlin many years ago. The record was the obsessive “Wo Ist Behle?” which reflected the heavy mark on Orsi who has been stricken and enthused by the psichedelic feeling of the long Berlin winter. Covered in snow, the most remote places of the city have the same hazy feeling of the hot summer days in Salento but the glacial weather gives a different perspective and transforms the atmosphere perception.Then w…
Sterminato Piano
*175 copies on Orange vinyl.* I've known Fabio Orsi for almost fifteen years now, artistically and humanly. Since the days of "Osci" his first album released by SmallVoices, my label at that time, up to some essential records published by A Silent Place, another label that I managed, in a period that seems almost unrepeatable. Each of his work, whether in music or photography, is always a certainty for me, but lately also a surprise; in fact Fabio Orsi has learned to surprise himself and surpris…
Giardino Forico N°1 - Napoli
The Giardino Forico is a way of giving back a place, a knowledge, a humanity through our languages. It is the result of a vital artistic process, we listen and observe the space and we speak it.
Wannsee
Limited edition of 200 copies housed in spot gloss jacket with art insert... Sound artist and field recordist Fabio Orsi presents the 3rd edition on Italian label Ricerca Sonora, complementing meditative LPs by Philip Corner with three augmented location recordings. Immersive sonics sourced from Wannsee lake outside of Berlin form the basis for a trio of dense, drifting pieces rich in microscopic and macroscopic detail. Wildlife sounds ring clear and true across muffled low end murk and subtle, …
Find Electronica
Originally released in 2007, the oddly named Find Electronica sees Italian soundscaper / audio alchemist Orsi, conjuring up some hushed delicate beauty, that sort of hazy, otherworldly fuzzy drift we can't seem to get enough of. Warm slowly whirling melodies blurred into long lazy drones, the layers constantly shifting, gorgeous overtones surfacing here and there, melodies buried and revealing glimpses now and again through the hushed lush shimmer of these tracks. The opening track is total Pop …
