Lowvibe radioshow #4
on Twen FM
Friday (28.10.2011) 10:00 PM – 00:00 AM (GMT+1) – next Lowvibe radioshow with special guest
My Dry Wet Mess (Brainfeeder, Magical Properties) LIVE!
Often the brightest lights emanate from the biggest cities. My Dry Wet Mess, a.k.a. Giovanni Civitenga, 27, has spent his life in two
giants: Rome and Barcelona, but his sound might be easily confused with two others: Los Angeles and London.
Equal parts slack Beats and gauzy Bass, Boom and Slo-Synth, Gio’s music goes beyond sound effects to express emotion through the prism
of melody. In this realm some call Luvstep or Purple or Wonky, where the guidelines are still being set, young voices can elude easy definition.
Though his father is the bass player for Ennio Morricone’s orchestra and a studio guitarist on numerous Italian records, Gio chose a less
traditional route to music. Starting at age 14 with a sampler and an Atari, his experiments in beatmaking eventually grew into multimedia explorations.
“My Dry Wet Mess” is not his first alias; as “Bluermutt” (a name selected from a list of suggestions generated by eBay), Gio explored
some of techno’s poppier varieties on a 2008 release for a small label called Nexsound, with a little help from a then-largely-unknown Dorian
Concept.
Soon after, Gio moved to Barcelona and began studies in Interactive Design. He developed programs for sound-reactive video performances, which led to an audiovisual collaboration with Daedelus in 2009. Gio demonstrated his
software using his own music for reference, and Alfred “Daedelus” Darlington was so impressed that he signed My Dry Wet Mess to his Magical Properties imprint.
My Dry Wet Mess’ debut LP, “Irrational Alphabet,” will be the second release on Magical Properties.
