“Ultimo Domicilio” (The Last Domicile) is the new work by Italian composer Emanuele de Raymondi in collaboration with photographer Lorenzo Castore.
Castore began the photographic journey in 2008 documenting 5 “domiciles” in Europe and the United States, each with a strong connection to stories of exile and war in European history.
The collaboration between these two artists has produced a 18-minute video that explores the concept of individual and collective memory through the 5 domiciles.
Each home, photographed by Castore, corresponds to an original composition by Emanuele de Raymondi. The tracks are titled with the name of the place itself: Finale (Italy), Fontenay (France), Brooklyn (United States), Sarajevo (Bosnia) and Krakow (Poland).
De Raymondi’s music finds its place between chamber music and avant-garde, using piano, guitars and samplers. Through the images of Castore, De Raymondi creates a highly evocative path in which the 5 domiciles become sonic places–At times extremely dense and layered, other times intriguingly sparse and minimal.
Places of sound, places of history, places of the past …last domiciles.
The photographs of Castore were “animated” by Daniel Spano ‘.
L ‘EP “Ultimo Domicilio”, which includes the 5 tracks on the projects, is coming out on ZerOKilled Music (Fall 2013).
2012
A Emanuele de Raymondi abbiamo da “rimproverare” senz’alcun dubbio una cosa: per la seconda volta di fila, l’aver pubblicato un album a ridosso della fine dell’anno, quando il traffico di uscite e recuperi è fin troppo elevato, ci ha costretto allo stesso errore dell’anno scorso, quando ripescammo il bellissimo “Buyukberber Variations” con qualcosa come tre mesi di ritardo. La stessa cosa capita ora perché “Ultimo domicilio”, primo parto sulla breve durata del compositore nostrano emigrato in quel di Boston, arriva alle nostre orecchie una decina di settimane dopo la sua uscita ufficiale sul mercato, risalente a dicembre 2013.
