Formality

and "Succo di formiche" (2023) by Italian experimental artist Giovanni Di Domenico.

"Succo di formiche" was written and recorded with the goal of creating a one-movement suite in the shortest possible time. The work reflects the archetypal joy of music-making, the spontaneous impulse behind its formation and a love for the record album format.

The title literally translates to "ant juice." There are no breaks in the songs, and you can seamlessly experience tension and release throughout the 41 minutes of 7 songs. This is a record that I would recommend listening to on vinyl, rather than downloading individual songs on a subscription service. (Ammel)
