Valentina Magaletti and upsammy have been creating neighboring worlds of their own. Magaletti is an avid collaborator, and her flying, characteristic drumming has intertwined with the works and worlds of Holy Tongue, N\u00eddia, Moin, Nicolas Jaar, and many, many others, including Italian writer and poet Fanny Chiarello. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
upsammy’s production is more introverted, inspired by subtle airy sounds, microscopic sound design, and gentle bass-worthy kicks in intricate drum patterns. Her signature, almost-organic use of digital production and field recordings makes a perfect partner for Magaletti’s drum skills. And with this level of talent comes effortlessness that feels as natural as breathing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fluid sonic body of Seismo <\/em>that was released on scene-defying PAN label last year teaches us a lesson in spatial attention, with things happening in different layers at the same time, balancing, almost dancing with each other. Spanning from organic-infused footwork patterns to high-pitched piano dueting with glitchy brainrot samples from the Internet, upsammy and Magaletti utilize their best skills in a fun, exciting, and musically masterful way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
