Nothing that Fera commits to tape can really be considered a stopgap affair, nothing is temporary, everything is bustling, committing is breathing.“Divora Eco” is Fera’s latest pursuit into the inbetween hours after night and before dawn, the simple sounds left ringing in the ear after days of feasts and noise, a quiet roar against division and an immersive view into intimacy and resistance through sound. Tossing away as much embellishment as possible, melodies unfurl into drones, drones rot into signal, and signal decays into hum. The basic equipment of an obsolete monophonic synthesizer and echo unit is pushed to its limits to bring forth something tangible and forlonging, a celestial wasteland, made into flesh, shapeshifting towards a flourishing rebellion of intertwined audio bodies.Fera is Andrea De Franco, electronic composer from Southern Italy now residing in Bologna, also known for his work as visual artist/designer and member of the Undicesimacasa collective. His musical cosmos is profound and imaginative, intergalactic atmospheres that condense fragmented IDM, scintillating textures, distorted synthscapes, crunchy technoid rhythms and swirling abstractions that weave gently, sometimes moody and stark, more often celestial and awe-inspiring. His releases ‘Stupidamutaforma’, ‘Psiche Liberata’ and ‘Corpo Senza Carne’ have brought forth his unique approach to electronic synthesis, a mesh of wandering restlessness, purist minimalism and intense body rituals. releases May 1, 2026recorded in bologna / roma,may 2025 / january 2026mixed in roma, january 2026mastered by steve scanu
