The Italian producer takes us through his new album and curates a list of influences.
Sometimes you're your own worst enemy, but for Italian producer/composer, Lorenzo Senni, that isn't always a bad thing. In fact, the key to understanding the main ideas and motivations that fueled his first full length album for Warp,"The Cure said in a pretty famous interview that they were able to actually make their masterpiece,, only after finding the album title," Senni explains.
Much like the roughly 1500-year-old game, Senni's music feels cerebral and precise. His melodies are meticulously crafted, even with their seemingly erratic jumps and meandering paths. No matter how extreme or chaotic Senni pushes his sounds, everything always manages to come together in an intricately-choreographed endgame."I saw my music reach a breaking point sometimes or found myself self-checkmated," he explains.
Much of Senni's career has been built on similar counterbalances; an experimental electronic composer almost exclusively using the sounds of mainstream dance music, a straight-edge former hardcore drummer borrowing the aesthetics of the drug-fueled golden age of rave, a minimalist with a maximalist palette.
Senni's embrace of trance as a genre shorthand for this balance between the visceral and the calculated has made him stand out amongst his contemporaries — and earned him critical acclaim as well."I was into the build-up section of trance tracks because I realized that in this part, the duality I'm looking for was really well explained and executed," Senni says in his interpretation of the genre.
Having found his hook, Senni further fleshed out the conceptual edge to his work with each subsequent release, developing his own vocabulary to describe it along the way. Senni uses descriptions like"rave voyeurism" and"pointillistic" to categorize his unique sound and draw a direct link to his myriad inspirations.
