CLOT magazine presents ANOR LONDO

CLOT Magazine

The next mixtape comes from Italian artist Anor Londo (aka Marco Fasoli). Dedicated to drumming for a long time, the artist has more recently moved into more introspective electronic territories. With an artistic name that recalls a fictional city in a series of action role-playing games, Anor Londo is deeply fascinated by alchemical esotericism, philosophical hermeticism, cosmic horror and cyber-decadence. His speculation in the audio-visual field is bound up with the search for timeless perfection, an opportunity to understand the true nature of the cosmos a contemplation of the transcendent, which constitutes a form of esoteric ritual. Transmutations are one of the founding elements of his creative method. He reinterprets in a technological key the broader meaning of alchemical philosophy, which - as the eldest form of chemistry - is committed to the fascinating task of shaping and moulding matter. Anor Londo wants to understand the very nature of the fabric of the universe. Last April Anor London published Chaos & Materia EP, an extremely elegant and soulful ambient expression of abstract and melodic musical forms. The productions, teh artist says, stems from an analogy between hermetic philosophy and Anor Londo's mindset. Chaos' is perceived as the aggregator of all opposites, whilst 'matter' means understanding the foundations of reality. The mix he’s prepared for us, Solar Plexus, refers to a complex structure of nerves of the sympathetic nervous system. It’s an energy centre necessary for balance and well-being in the body. These networks are like an electrical junction box, distributing wires to different areas of the house, Anor Londo shares. The mix developed is a direct emanation of this concept of interconnection. Different feelings and sensibilities communicate in a dance of gazes, seemingly distant but intersecting at an epicentre that is my own vision. Sometimes they smash into each other, creating a sense of loss, but in the end, it all returns to a global balance like in an infinite loop. Seeing is believing. Tracklist: 01. UVB76 - Onna 02.
