The Lost Album

Tau Ceti is not only the name of the star visible in the constellation of Cetus: it is also the name behind which stands Enrico Cosimi, a leading expert in sonic innovation and electronic sound synthesis. Today Enrico Cosimi officially joins the Nostress Netlabel stable, which has decided to produce a CD for him in a limited edition of 100 copies, titled "The Lost Album". The record opens with a track dominated by sinusoidal collision and dynamism, unpredictability and sonic peaks that make the listening thoroughly varied and surprising. Unique atmospheres that only Cosimi manages to create, all of it surrounded by lapping blends of psychedelia and experimentation worthy of a master of electronics. The second track, by contrast, softens the impact of the first: it relaxes the listener and carries them into idyllic, cataleptic dimensions, making them close their eyes towards a world waiting to be discovered. Cosimi’s record digs into the unconscious of whoever ventures into these swirling electric waves, throwing doors open and crumbling walls, much like the cover, anguish and desolation, which welcomes the listener and accompanies them on this extraordinary journey. A granite cover, made of light and shadow, of distant and near visions, of perspectives forgotten and corroded by time: an abandonment of matter to make room for the spirit and for hidden feelings.

Enrico Cosimi graduated in piano at the "F. Morlacchi" Conservatory in Perugia, where he attended Electronic Music courses with R. Bianchini and N. Parent. His experience in the music field has given him the opportunity to write for magazines, blogs and webzines of the calibre of Fare Musica, Computer Music, Piano Time, Chitarre, Studio Report, Strumenti Musicali, Rec’N’Play, Percussioni, Chitarre and Audio Central Magazine. A multi-instrumentalist, over his long career his hands have touched electric bass, synth, Hammond and theremin, in line-ups such as Frenetic, Latte & i Suoi Derivati, Uniplux and Trombe Rosse. Also significant is his collaboration with the late Gianluigi Gasparetti, better known under the pseudonym Oöphoi, with whom he released eight albums between 2001 and 2006. His career is rich in important productions for artists such as Pavone, Fogli and Turci, and he has composed several soundtracks for television and cinema. He teaches Electronic Music at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, on the degree course in Media and Communication Technology. He currently travels across Italy holding courses and training workshops, widely attended and appreciated by enthusiasts and beyond, receiving constant acclaim for the quality of his teaching on the practice of unconventional instruments.
