sottoliceberg presents: contrasti
interesting electronic music from Italy
"This is my second release", sottoliceberg.
"‘Contrasts’ comes from a very personal image: that of a physical and mental space divided into two levels. On one side, ‘the above,’ the studio where the artist creates music, an intimate and almost therapeutic place; on the other, ‘the below,’ populated by presences, stories, and everyday tensions. It’s precisely in this balance between surfaces and depths that the song takes shape, like the tip of an iceberg from which inner fragments, automatic thoughts, and traces of the past emerge. The lyrics reflect this duality:
‘I am here above vanished landscapes lingering omens embraced contrasts’
The ‘vanished landscapes’ are memories that over time become more blurred, inner scenarios connected to childhood, familiar images, and lived moments that continue to exist, even if in less vivid forms. The ‘lingering omens,’ instead, represent everything that slips out of control: fears, tensions, suspended possibilities, like the constant shadow of something that could happen. The ‘embraced contrasts’ becomes …
The “lingering omens,” on the other hand, represent everything that escapes control: fears, tensions, suspended possibilities, like the constant shadow of something that could happen. The “embraced contrasts” become the attempt to accept this coexistence of opposites. From a sound perspective, “Contrasts” moves in an electronic dance territory, alternating between drive and suspension. The more energetic moments open up to sparser phases, creating an unstable yet deeply human balance. The imagery of the track is inspired by René Magritte's “L’Empire des lumières,” where light and darkness coexist in the same space, reflecting a sense of continuous contrast.
“Contrasts” is a track that doesn’t seek answers but stays in the tension between what emerges and what remains hidden.
