Atmosphæram
Tip! Atmosphæram inaugurates a new series of hyper-focussed solo studio recordings from Marco Fusinato, each consisting of two side-long pieces exploring noise and feedback, respectively. Documenting his guitar running through an array of distortion pedals amplified by two full stacks made up from his collection of Hiwatt DR103 Heads running at full volume, these recordings capture both the physical immensity and the glittering textural detail of Fusinato’s assaultive approach. Massive amplifica…

The result is an eclectic combination of vernacular and classical influences that refers, in equal parts, to the Bulgarian and Hungarian fol…
