It’s a stunning record and proof that when two very different musicians meet it’s always possible for magic to happen. This is very much the case with Bruno Bavota (the acclaimed Naples-based pianist and composer) and Fabrizio Somma (an electronic producer who releases music under the moniker K-Conjog) and their new collaboration. It blends both of their influences with added echoes of ambient, techno, 2000s club culture, post-classical and vague hints of post-rock, forming a soundtrack of their musical union. ‘Interlocking Mechanics’ was the first song they wrote and when, according to Bruno, it became clear that “all the sounds were in the right place”. So, instead than the rather cold and functional implication of the title, this slowly building beauty is actually the sound of something coming to life. The closing track, the elegiac ‘Us’, was the second piece of music they made, and is a similarly perfect mix of their styles. “It’s a nice combination and the good thing is that it’s a really new way to make music for the both of us,” says Bruno. “It’s hard to say how we came up with it together or who does what. We both believe that we’ve a common feeling about how to look for pure and sincere emotions.” He’s right, despite the wordless nature of the eight tracks here, they are a testament to their ability to translate raw emotion into a musical journey, forging a connection that goes beyond sound. It takes us from the ambience of opener ‘No Words’, via the floaty ‘Inner Space’ and the B. Fleischmann-inspired ‘Buildings’ to the hymnal ‘In A Box’, the darker and more mysterious ‘Nocturnal Humans’ and the single ‘When We See’ which combines ethereal synths with skittering beats to great effect. It’s called Two, simply because it is just the two of them. The series of seemingly random events that finally pushed them together in the “fragmented” Naples music scene and then led them to working with Sonic Cathedral simply adds to the record’s gravitas. Back at the start of 2020 as the Covid pandemic tore through Italy, Bruno locked down at home in Naples and made music. In addition to his usual piano-based pieces, he experimented with electronics and the result – released the following year by the Brooklyn-based label Temporary Residence as For Apartments: Songs & Loops – was one of the records that soundtracked my grief after losing my mum. We got talking on Instagram and Bruno sent me some tracks by a new project. The collaboration with Fabrizio had come about because a local promoter had essentially forced then to work together for an event on the island of Procida in November 2022 as part of its celebrations as Italian Capital of Culture. They got on well and, while they were there, on a wall, saw a sign that read “not me but us”. Several months of music-making and Mario Kart later, here they are, making up for lost time. “Here in Naples, 20 years ago, it was difficult to find someone who I could talk to about certain records,” concludes Fabrizio. “What we heard back then is in our music now and I’m convinced that this is only the beginning of a journey and we don’t know yet where it will take us.” Artist Not Me But Us Genre Electronica Label Sonic Cathedral Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings No Words Inner Space Interlocking Mechanics Buildings In A Box Nocturnal Humans When We See Us Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Electronica View Product Quick View Lykke Li I Never Learn Electronica | Atlantic | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 1st May 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lykke Li I Never Learn £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Atlantic SKU: 2564630603 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 1st May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Malady Round The Bend (808 State Remix) Electronica | Nice Swan Recordings | 12", Single Released 4th November 2022 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Malady Round The Bend (808 State Remix) £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Nice Swan Recordings SKU: NSWN067 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pendulum The Reworks Electronica | Earstorm | 2LP Released 29th June 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pendulum The Reworks £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Earstorm SKU: 0190296956584 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Soccer96 Dopamine Electronica | Moshi Moshi | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd April 2024 £16.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Soccer96 Dopamine £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Moshi Moshi SKU: nn283806 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Barry Can’t Swim More Content Electronica | Technicolour | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 8th July 2022 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barry Can’t Swim More Content £11.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Technicolour SKU: TCLR048 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 8th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mr. Oizo The Church Electronica | Brainfeeder | 1LP Released 12th January 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mr. Oizo The Church £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Brainfeeder SKU: BF053 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gang Colours The Keychain Collection Electronica | Brownswood Recordings | 1LP Released 27th February 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gang Colours The Keychain Collection £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Brownswood Recordings SKU: BWOOD074LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Phantoms This Can’t Be Everything Electronica | Foreign Family Collective | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th August 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Phantoms This Can’t Be Everything £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Foreign Family Collective SKU: FFC113 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Nicolas Jaar Space Is Only Noise (Ten Year Edition) Electronica | Circus Company | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th May 2021 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nicolas Jaar Space Is Only Noise (Ten Year Edition) £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Circus Company SKU: CCS116 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wolf Eyes Slicer Electronica | Orion Read | 1LP Released 11th September 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wolf Eyes Slicer £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Orion Read SKU: OR-14LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
