Emanuele Porcinai’s work as WSR has alway sat to reconcile the contrasting worlds of electronically generated –and re-generated– sounds and physicality itself, integrating acoustic instruments within digital frameworks and allowing the virtual and the material to compenetrate each other. Released by Stray Signals, 'Dicasmia' is a new chapter in this research. By sculpting noises obtained through guitars, bass guitars and cellos, Porcinai has dug himself an introspective mine of aural ore posed to slowly sucking its surrounding space in. Melodies form from clouds of smoke riddled with literal heavy metals while impacts and scrapes form uneven percussive poems. The amassing layers of dissonance eventually favor the emergence of musicality and beauty, making for an eventually uplifting sonic venture that strives to exorcise the melancholy of separation.
