ROAD
ROAD (Album)
Year: 2017
Road by Michele Fondacci is a thoughtful and evocative concept album. It has seven tracks, each dedicated to a day of the week and recorded in a different location. This electronic music project is an intimate and geographical journey, a soundscape that unites time and space through carefully crafted and sensitively constructed acoustic landscapes.
Each track captures the spirit of the day it's named after, reflecting its unique rhythm and atmosphere. On Monday morning, you can hear soft, almost floating sounds that make you think slowly and carefully about the start of the week. Tuesday and Wednesday bring more defined changes, as if the energy were gradually becoming clearer. From Thursday, the album becomes more varied, with small electronic beats that get stronger in Friday, the most important and longest track. Here, we can hear a mix of calm and energy.
Saturday is all about feeling light and free, while Sunday brings back calm with slow melodies, soft sounds and a sense of balance.
The seven different locations are all important: each one has left a unique mark on the land, affecting the frequencies, natural vibrations and overall feel of each track. Fondacci uses electronic sounds, samples of the environment and subtle electronic changes to create a sound that has a deep, atmospheric quality.
Road is more than just an album: it's a diary of sound, a weekly emotional guide that takes the listener on a calm, thoughtful and consistent journey of listening. It's perfect for anyone looking for evocative, minimalist and conscious electronic music.
