The mini album 'Nix Sub Sole' is the result of a collaboration by DsorDNE with classical trained singer Paola Bianchi aka Femina Faber on voice and lyrics who some may know as the voice of Ludmila, among her more
The language sung is Latin, which gives the texts a unique harmony and a general medieval and neo-classical feel to the tracks present here. The music was composed, performed and produced by Marco Milanesio entirely in Torino's O.F.F. Studios.
The opening track "Astrum Crudele" sets the mood, a downtempo celestial track, through the vocals immediately reminiscent of Dead Can Dance in a different timeline where they went electronic instead opening up to world music. "Sepulcrum" continues in the vein of rhythmic ambient and "Serenity" shows once more the fragile balance beetween a powerful solo voice and the instrumentation.
Paolo Bianchi's Voice is placed mastefully in an emphatic setting overall and finally in "Somnium Aetherum" heading towards a lighthearted beautiful way without getting superficial and the instrumental epilogue "Deep" closes this collection on a calm and peaceful note.
Here Marco Milanesio takes his more experimental side way back to provide a perfect setting for Femina Faber's approach. Enclosed and translated lyrics might have been interesting but otherwise if you're not fluent in latin the concept of the voice as human instrument works out really well.
In late September released this limited 6 Track CD (100 copies only) is only partially available digital - self released and distributed you have to contact DsorDNE via their bandcamp to get hold of this.
