   Project-TO - The White Side, The Black S   
   30 Sep 16 13:35:55   
   
   Recorded in the Interactive Sound studies in Turin, Italy, property of   
   Riccardo Mazza, the debut album by Project-TO was realized with the aim of   
   live set, a real audio-visual experience where the songs of the white side,   
   electronic/big beat-style,    
   alternate with techno ambient/dark atmospheres of the black tracks. Within the   
   work, the listener can find the influences of forerunners of this kind of   
   sound like Chemical Brothers, DeadMau5, Crystal Method, Ancient Methods, Not   
   Waving, Apparat and Andy    
   Stott.   
      
   Powerful and unceasing rhythms characterize the white tunes, often layered and   
   combined with electronic sounds and percussions/drumming recorded in studio. A   
   very synthetic sound due to an important use of analogical and digital synths.   
   Black songs are    
   the "photographic negatives", more bitstream, of the white songs; every black   
   is an interpretation of its corresponding white, where a more techno/dark   
   arrangement changed deeply sounds and drafting, mantaining the same exact   
   length.   
      
   Paths interweave symbolically with voices and sounds that sometimes recall   
   universal symbols like in "Sign of the Earth", where Tibetan monks songs   
   appear, or "Look Further", with a theme signed by Gregorian chants, or   
   "I-Hope", characterized by an    
   opening speech of Indian Parliament by Indira Gandhi and followed by comment   
   揑 Hope� of Hillary Clinton; images are bounded to our territory to   
   underline our roots and our culture.   
      
   Double LP was indeed produced together with the original visual project that   
   is part of the whole plan. Six videostories representing the six white   
   moments, or rather a dreamlike travel of the two protagonists, that live   
   different experiences and meet    
   only occasionally and fleetingly. During the live set the voyage evolves with   
   darker and more abstract visual atmospheres, sustaining black tracks. A video   
   project in part inspired by the record Further by Chemical Brothers (2010),   
   composed by eight    
   songs accompanied by as many corresponding clips.   
      
   The shots are original, made in the studio and on location. Animations, video   
   clips, characters in silhouette and abstract geometric textures, generated   
   with appropriate physical models simulation softwares, are the characteristics   
   of the production. The    
   show is performed entirely live with mapping projections on the surface of the   
   place hosting the event: walls, ceilings, furnishings or exterior facades. An   
   immersive experience that transforms the space, where electronic music becomes   
   part of a    
   contemporary artistic language more evolved and experimental, while retaining   
   the characteristics of a dance and trendy event.   
      
   Although extremely new, Project-TO has already executed high profile   
   performances like Opening Party of Artissima in Turin, Italy (November 2015),   
   the opening night of Torino City of Design (December 2015) and Fuorisalone in   
   apartment Lago in Brera for    
   Milano Design Week (April 2016).
