Counting the Eyes
I recorded "Counting the Eyes" while visiting my parents in Italy, just before the COVID-19 pandemic began. While in my old bedroom, I found a Roland MC-303, an instrument that I had purchased in 1997 with the intention of producing techno and electronic dance music. Despite spending countless hours with it, I was never able to produce the type of music I had originally bought it for.
After a 20-year hiatus, I decided to approach the instrument from a different angle, using it not as a groove box but as a simple synthesizer. A few days went by until I stumbled upon some unexpected beauty by playing intertwined arpeggios, I was immediately mesmerized. I continued this practice for a couple of weeks, producing numerous patterns and capturing my favourite ones with the help of a digital recorder that I travelled with.
The release is available on One Instrument
Counting the Eyes is the soundtrack of Fabiana Filippi’s Spring Summer 2021 collection.
