Emego
Emego‘s “Fantas Variations” is the epic opening track on Caterina Barbieri’s acclaimed 2019 release “Ecstatic Computation”.
The original “Fantas” laid out a magical path of patterns leading the listener on a journey into the sound itself. “Fantas Variations” maps out eight new potentials sprung from this initial path as constructed by a diverse mix of artists lending to a wide spectrum of new works extrapolated from the original work. For this project Barbieri invited friends and long time collaborators from a variety of musical backgrounds to create a more sustainable and inclusive landscape in terms of stylistic, geographical, gender and generational balance. The results are a diverse array of approaches and instrumentation which blur the boundaries between the acoustic and electronic.
