Our First Release on Intelligent Models
FRAGMENTS - DRAMA
FRAGMENTS is a project that was born totally randomly at the beginning of last summer. I had no plans for the following three months, no money to go on holiday, no university exams to study for, and with the same levity with which I say “why don’t we go clubbing
tonight?” I said to myself “why don’t you try to make music?”. I had no idea how to do it. Actually, I also had no idea how to install Ableton – it took me a whole week. The tutorials I found were boring as hell, and the Ableton “lessons” were even worse. I had an old pc, no
speakers, no headphones. But by now I couldn’t get out of my head this thought: I wanted to create a sort of contamination between electronic music and fragments (indeed) of dialogues from the movies I like the most, or those that have been of particular importance for me. But in the meanwhile I felt pretty ridiculous (I know lots of people who make music and they’re really good, so I asked myself “Sara, what the fuck you gonna do??”), and also
I was passing through dark times due to my depression. I think I have to say thanks to a friend of mine, who persuaded me that just to get over my crisis I should have put my heart and soul into this project. He told me “try it! You have nothing to lose”. And I chose to listen
to him. I chose to try. Drama perfectly represents what I had in mind. Despite the lack of appropriate instruments and, above all, of the slightest knowledge about how to actually make a track. I really can’t
say how my tracks came out. They just did it. Drama is an album about feelings. From the first track, with the discover of an unknown
feeling, a forbidden feeling (or better, a feeling that you impose yourself not to feel. This is true for me), to the last, that ends with a bloodcurdling scream, everything revolves around what I feel/felt, around what everyone has felt at least once in his/her life. Anger,
powerlessness, envy, guilt, pain, fear, despair. It’s true, only negative emotions, but sadly they’re just those that I feel every day, and I think I must make music about what I know best. About my reality. About my life. Well, I live this “drama” every day of my life, in almost
three years. And so my album talks about that. I honestly hope people will understand, I hope they could ignore some technical mistakes
and understand what every track communicates. And I hope that who feels what I feel could recognize himself in my music and feel less lonely. Chino understood EVERYTHING at his first listening and decided to give me this opportunity. I can only say thanks, but it will never be enough.
