Little Floating Oracles
ATŌMI
Preview: Anemos
ATŌMI announces his first LP entitled “Little Floating Oracles”, set for release on October 7th 2022 on Lady Blunt Records. The album, mixed by Lorenzo Setti and Davide Bombanella at The Groundfloor Studio (IT) and mastered by Lawrence English - defined as “one of the ambient’s modern music masters” by Fact Mag - at Negative Space Studio (AU), comes after his well-acclaimed debut EP “ARMØNIA” (2020, Jikken Records). The 7-tracks album by Berlin based producer and sound artist was inspired by the concept of fetus, perceived as a physical incarnation of the cosmic essence which embodies the endless knowledge of an Oracle. ATŌMI translates into sound the beauty and power of this assumption, recreating the atmospheres and going deeper into the various ancestral states of a new life in formation. With “Little Floating Oracles” we embark on a dense journey through the prenatal existence, starting from high and immaterial planes down to the material and sensorial reality, exploring the borders of dark ambient, contemporary electronic and experimental classical music. The artwork has been designed by Akasha (Riccardo Franco-Loiri), a Turin based visual artist who combined studies on embryology and scientific aspects with atavistic knowledge regarding the otherworldly soul, taking inspiration from the Upanishads, to literally give life to a piece of art that deepen its roots into a surreal environment in which symbolic forms and dynamism coexist. He modeled all the main elements of the artwork in Virtual Reality, valuing gesture, fluidity, speed of execution and the infinite possibilities of punctual intervention. Furthermore, Akasha has been invited by OpenAI to participate in the Artist Program of the newly formed DALL-E 2, a new AI system that can create realistic images and art from a given image or textual prompt, taking the dialogue with technology to a further level. Thanks to this new tool, the AI then created a number of variations of the artwork used for the three singles Oracles, Oneiros and Adela. ____ // Threshold Magazine “Some of the best tracks ever produced in the field of ambient techno.” // Foxy Digitalis “ATŌMI’s music feels enormous and all-encompassing. Spellbinding.” // RockIt “One of the best albums of the year.” // Nicchia Elettronica “One of the most interesting producers of his generation.” // Radioaktive “A complex work, practically perfect.” __ Composed and Produced by ATŌMI Violin in “Oracles” and “Eidola” - Laura Masotto Voice in “Oracles” and "Anemos" - Giulia Bernardi Mixed by ATŌMI and Davide Cristiani at Bombanella Soundscapes Mastered by Lawrence English Artwork by Riccardo Franco-Loiri aka “Akasha” Photos and Video by Chiara De Maria Released via Lady Blunt Records
