Not Waving - Futuro (Music for the Waldorf Project) '2019

Tracks list

’Futuro’ is Not Waving’s sublime synth/ambient soundtrack
to one of the world’s most intense art/theatre experiences: Sean
Rogg’s radical immersive artwork ‘The Waldorf Project’ -
fusing choreography, spatial design, music and performance into a cohesive
experience. 

Drawn from more than 20 hours of material made for the project between
2013-2018, ‘Futuro’ finds Alessio Natalizia exploring a style of
tonal and spatial minimalism that works as a fine palette cleanser from much of
what you’ve heard from him in the past. While not a new solo album, per
se, the long form, Eno-like results of ‘Futuro’ demonstrate the
full wingspan of Not Waving’s obsessive knowledge and emotive feel for
electronic composition, making it in some senses one of the more substantial and
unusual releases in his catalogue to date. 

Natalizia’s site-specific work ranges from highly emotive synth
meditations thru to bittersweet Kosmische intuitions, and milky, Eno-esque
beauties. But if any part sums up the widescreen scope of Not Waving’s
music in ‘Futuro’, it’s the final side’s 17 minutes
of awning, gently curdled synth pads - originally used in a performance to 4000
people in Thailand laid in pitch black, with bodies formed in triangles while
dancers caressed their faces. It ends the album with such memorable effect as to
make it something of a modern day environmental/ambient classic - and perhaps
our favourite Not Waving release in an already enviably deep catalogue.
