At San Fedele Milan, the historic band Seefeel, from its origins on the Warp label, to present its latest work Everything Squared, released after 13 years of recording silence. From the very beginning, the group undertook the fusion of elements of electronic music with post-rock, creating an original sound language. They employ analogue instruments and digital processes, using guitars treated with effects to produce ethereal, synthesiser-like textures. Rhythmic minimalism in its repetitive variant has been widely employed by Seefeel on several albums. Another constitutive element of their music is the composition of layered textures, achieved through the superimposition of organic and electronic sounds. This technique gives rise to complex soundscapes, ranging between melodic sweetness and experimental abstraction.
In the first part, a number of tracks by a pioneer of experimental electronic music, Tod Dockstader (1932-2015), known for his innovative use of magnetic tape and sound manipulation techniques, will be played. Active mainly from the 1950s to the 1970s, Dockstader developed a unique musical language that lies on the borderline between concrete music and experimental electronics. His compositions are distinguished by the balance between technical rigour and aesthetic sensitivity. Dockstader combined meticulousness and invention, resulting in music that was refined yet accessible.
