Previous workIs also recommended.

Below is a commentary by the label.

"For the past two years, Lorenzo Abattoir's work has focused on exploring different breathing and amplification techniques to create a kind of non-verbal language to represent the sounds of 'non-human' beings.

The first act of this transformation takes place on Disincarnazione (1, Flag Day Records): freed from the state of his own body and from cultural structures accumulated over millennia of evolution, the artist explores the sonic possibilities of the animal body as a medium and tool for his artworks.

Continuing his exploration of this possibility in Act 2 (Vice de Forme, 2023) and then Act 3 (Titania Tapes, 2023), Lorenzo Abattoir's new work succeeds in giving form to this creature. The artist takes on the appearance of this new beast, defining its field of action and incorporating movement into his practice. With the fourth act of his study, Lorenzo Abattoir consecrates a new being in a state of sonic confusion, no longer human but not entirely beast either, and takes his first steps in his sonic and performative world.

The amplified sound places the listener in a non-placed environment, allowing the listener to explore the depths of the animal's body, capturing the hybrid primate in all its bodily noises, from breathing to movement."

Alga Marghen:

"Over the past two years, Lorenzo Abattoir's work has focused on researching various breathing and amplification techniques to create a sort of non-verbal language through which to express the sounds of an 'inhuman' being.

The first act of this transformation takes place in Disincarnazione (2023, Flag Day Records); the artist frees himself from his own corporeal state and the cultural structures sedimented over millennia of evolution to explore the sonic possibilities of the animal body as a medium and instrument of his work.

Continuing to explore these possibilities in Second Act (Vice de Forme, 2023) and then Third Act (Titania Tapes, 2023), Lorenzo Abattoir's new work succeeds in giving shape to this creature. The artist assumes the form of this new beast, delineating its field of action and incorporating movement into his practice. With the fourth act of his research, Abattoir consecrates a new being in a state of sonic confusion, no longer human but not entirely beast, taking its first steps in his sonic and performative universe.

The amplification delivers to the listener the sonic image of a hybrid primate amidst the entirety of the noises of its body, from breaths to movements, in a non-place that allows us to explore the depths of the animal body."
