about

Using a limited set of sonic materials including reed instruments, truncated samples of his own voice, pristine electronic drum and synth tones, and a generative MAX patch of his own devising, London-based Giacomo Fargion imagines a person (or, a machine?) trying to express a feeling (love) but never quite being able to do so. The non-linear formations, with their very precise rhythmic components capture a feeling of hesitation, an organism assembling and disassembling the fleeting, repetitive, elements of feeling, intention, inertia, and possibility.

Prufrockian robotics aside, Love Album is elegant, surrealistic and whimsical computer music that despite its austere and aseptic sound world, manages to be anything but sterile -- like cyborg folk music from another universe.

Giacomo Fargion is a music producer/mastering engineer and experimental electronic composer born and based in London. His work focuses on a broad and idiosyncratic array of genres, sources and strategies, often presented within a deconstructed sound collage. Giacomo enjoys spontaneity and juxtaposition within the sounds used and likes exploring the tension between softness and aggression, energy and playfulness. He often uses self-developed software made in Max MSP.

Within the last few years Giacomo has been involved in a variety of projects: he wrote the music for the Southwark Bridge as part of the Illuminated River project; 'Vive La Phrance', a theatre piece written by Andrea Spreafico, Bergen, Norway; music and sound design for the 'Beasts of London' exhibition at the Museum of London; 'Tunnel of Light’ sound walk installation at Waddesdon Manor House; and Musicity Culture Mile festival in London. His music has been released with First Light Records, Kohlenstoff Records and Laminar Flow Records.

Giacomo also writes and performs in a duo with his sister, Francesca. The performance duo work with very simple means to create witty, challenging yet accessible music. As described in Prxludes Magazine, they emanate a ‘childlike charm performing together’. The Fargions have recently performed at Iklektik, Patchworks, London and Artefact, Birmingham.
