BIO
Paolino Canzoneri is an Italian artist. Since 2009 he has published singles and digital albums of minimal experimental electronic music with the help of sampling, loops and the taste for the interpretation of the history and Central European experiences of Krautrock and he does so both as a soloist and with various active formations: Nesting Error, Mantra Regula, Urbis Nulla; but without a regoular release of music.
He opened and managed with the collaboration of Luigi Cilento two online labels (net labels) using Creative Commons copyleft license: Nostress Netlabel founded in 2011 and Batenim Netlabel founded in 2013 releasing digital albums for free download by artists from around the world including digital annual compilations and entire digital recordings of concerts in Italy and abroad. He produces also albums in CD format in limited editions available exclusively by donation to be integrated with personal investments which allow him to come into direct contact with artists from the Italian territory, from Russia, Albania, France etc. and to participate as a partner label in various cultural and musical events.
In 2016 he made his first approaches to modular synthesis by producing and publishing the album "Cryogenic Dispersal" together with the international pioneer of the "industrial" musical genre Maurizio Bianchi M/B; the album receives great interest and appreciation with reviews in some Italian music magazines.
In 2021, when the period and the interest for netlabels definitively ended, he entrusts to the artist Nicola Manzan an effective and complex work of re-mastering new reissues for his previous albums in exclusively digital format, thus marking the final transition to a new phase while maintaining a reserved attitude.
He definitely increases the interest for modular synthesizers and renews his studio always called "Multiverso" (from the title of his first solo CD), with new instrumentation and several new modular Eurorarck synthesis system that will lead to the publication of the album in digital format and CD "Il cielo incupisce", published by the record company Seahorse Recordings, that marks a change of pace and a clear distance from previous works. Reviews on webzine appear enthusiastic.
Now his music consists in creating musical journeys that massage the body and soul in an experimental and minimal direction. Each element is chosen to relax the listener by stimulating a hypnotic, cathartic, peaceful mood in order to further accentuate a feeling of disconnection with reality. Warm, deep sounds and nebulous elements contrast with pure sounds and coexist together with dilated and infinite sounds that fill intermediate spaces.
