CAMILLA PISANI - Konstellationen

Four years have passed since “Phant[as]” and Camilla Pisani returns with “Konstellationen”, an LP that marks a decisive departure from her recent past. Where the Rome-based musician had previously explored different facets of sound, this time the central element is unquestionably rhythm, present throughout as an obsessive pulse across the fifty-nine minutes of “Konstellationen”. But Pisani's compulsive beat is certainly not the kind that accompanies dancefloor oblivion: it's rather a meditation on rhythm which, as the artist herself explains, “is the fundamental principle linking music, astronomy and human perception, transforming disparate forms of expression into a unified creative language”.

The pulses make the electronic music of tracks like “A Sob Against Sadness” or “The Abstinence Of Thinking (About Me)” physical and contemplative at once, simultaneously dark and luminous, like a glance up at a night sky lit by thousands of stars (hence the title). Although one could say that “Konstellationen” was born from stargazing, it does so in a way very different from the pioneers of German cosmic music. Where those artists built cosmic soundscapes to inhabit, Pisani looks at rhythm and pulsation as primordial elements of communication between human beings.

The track titles offer a glimpse into the trajectory of Pisani's thinking, which seems intent on moving from sonic material imagined for solitary listening (her entire back catalogue) to music conceived as an experience of collective reflection. Music that envisions infinite cosmic landscapes (“Infinite Like Moonscapes”) and a desire to open up to the world (“The Abstinence Of Thinking (About Me)”, “Some Days You Become An Island”), through frenetic rhythms, deep basslines, insistent beats and techno pulsations. In short, an attempt to communicate beyond one's own walls, aided by the bodily movement that music imposes — a fundamental common thread running through every civilization and culture.
