CLOT Magazine presents IL SANTO BEVITORE
Il Santo Bevitore is the artistic alter ego of the Italian born London-based musician, producer and sound engineer Nicola Serra, who is also known for being the founding curator of London's experimental music festival Dronica. The following mixtape is shared on the occasion of his recent debut release for Opal Tapes ‘Water and Tears’.
“The mixtape includes tracks from my album as well as music from artists who inspired, either directly or indirectly, the album process”, shares Il Santo Bevitore.
To have worked on the album with 11 other musicians and artists, who contributed their vocals and a variety of instruments, shows extraordinary determination to experiment with new ways of working on the recording process, while still on unstable grounds during the past two years of the pandemic. The sound on the album is heavily processed thanks to that and as a result creates an extensive depth of soundscapes, which immerse the listener into the voyage under the artist’s spell.
‘Water and Tears’ has been inspired by the painful story of the Panas, women lost during childbirth, as well as the Sardinian ancestral pagan past, its people and their echoes. Each of the tracks is characterised by thick sonic textures and comprises multiple layers of sound sources. “Some of the voices I used, belong to an ancestral Sardinian and Italian folkloric past, which is emphasised and brought back to life and projected into the future thanks to technology”.
Keen on continuing his explorations of compositions of inseparably intertwined analogue instruments and digital technology, while embracing his curatorial practice, Il Santo Bevitore is now looking forward to more collaborations and working with other artists in the near future.
