Due

Album IT 2013 on Elastica label
Dance (Experimental, Dub Techno)

Recorded and mixed at Over Our Heads Studio, Florence in late october 2013. Master Stardelta Audio Mastering UK "DUE"is the new EP by BACKWORDS, the Florence electronic outfit run by Michele "Pardo" Pauli , mastermind and guitarist of the long established italian band Casino Royale. Pardo is back with an extended play featuring four hypnotic tracks combining and balancing digital and analog technologies. A work meant to enrapture you with mesmerizing electronic loops ("Tract"), lull you with repeated samples that capture the healing power of eastern mantras or shamanic chants ("Tay -Yu - Ta", "B - Gain" ) or lay you on an embracing and ethereal harmonic carpets and then suddenly abandon you in the middle of sonic landscapes pervaded by uneasiness (the final " Grasshopper") , the same sinister uneasiness that we find , indeed, even in the cover artwork of “Due”, a reworking of the fascinating painting "Wolf Moonlight" by the supreme illustrator of the American West Frederic Remington . To give a description of the music of this release is not an easy task, and indeed not even a necessary one, as claimed by Pardo himself: "BACKWORDS" he explains " is a natural evolution of the Royalize experience (Casino Royale’s d’n’b side project dated 1999) that had ended prematurely. That sound, that of repetition in modern music I mean, is an old reminiscence that constantly comes back in my listenings and in my productions. Dubstep , techno, trap , dub... I don’t care about definitions, the only thing I know is that it is 'something' that catches my attention and pushes my ego to have a try, it’s a bit like returning to a known place but at the same time a place that’s always new, a place of exchange where everything slowly starts to focus". http://www.backwords.eu
