FEATURED ALBUM
In Fondo
by
Manuel Carbone
Released: 28.03.2025 on Dragon’s Eye Recordings
https://manuelcarbone.bandcamp.com/album/in-fondo
10 tracks, 38 minutes
It has been suggested that this album is somewhat of a change in direction for composer, DJ and sound artist, Manuel Carbone, and I fully get that deliberately parting with the use of field recording is deeply significant, but that said, this album is 100% Carbone in my opinion and not only that, it is immaculate.
In each track, in the order and tempo of every part is Carbone’s innate subtleness of touch. Never overstated and yet never quite what it first appears to be. There is a tension in it that makes me feel like I am a fly being held in an entomologist’s tweezers, looking up through compound eyes into a face of benign concern.
And yet this is in many ways a gentle listen, not to be rushed and unless you are laying down in a dark quiet place with decent speakers then it is perfect for staring out of a rainy train or car window with noise-cancelling headphones. The sound palette is neither declamatory or understated but just super-confidently restrained to let the intended mood memory say what it says without distraction. Nowhere in the album is this better exemplified than in the closing two minutes of the track In Fondo (Parte Terza) where Carbone’s love of the quieter production ethic bathes us in an almost inaudible sub bass experience that just gets deeper each time I play it.
He describes the album as “a diary or sparse shreds of a diary,” offering fragments of memory that avoid direct interpretation and as such is an abstract reflection. That certainly feels true, and yet within its scope there is a playfulness here as well. The mood is conveyed in the way the sounds are articulated as much as by their timbre. This control begins with the ever so slowly rotating tones of the opening Da Lontano and the later Poter Ricordare Ancora but then encodes the reflection in the more animated Immateriale and Senza Un Titolo just as effectively.
To eschew field recording then recreate a Mediterranean feeling with synthesisers in Il Mare In Sintesi is a perfect clue to what I think is behind this album and is itself a reflection on the nature of memory. It had to be done like that - it couldn’t be a recording. A memory is recreated each time we remember it - it is literally resynthesised. This is Carbone’s sea.
Manuel Carbone is an Italian sound experimentalist and noise artist from Naples, currently based in Berlin.
