    Cassette + Digital Album

    Over the course of his Remote Residency in December 2020, Michele Spanghero created a work by engaging with the sound qualities of the empty space of bb15, entitled Loopdown and now available as 10 minutes loop tape loop cassettes in a limited edition of 20.

    The work is grounded on the pressing feeling of looping of time during pandemic: a feeling of non-evolving solitude and melancholy that most of the people recently experienced during lockdowns.

    Inspired by Eirk Satie’s musique d’ameublement – furniture music – Spanghero created a looping sound composition based on a short piano sequence, which repeats unchanged and yet evolves through texture and time variations. The work is also the result of a process of remote-recording with the help of the bb15 team, through which natural reverberation and resonances of the bb15's venue were experienced from distance.

    The outcome of the Residency is a limited series of loop tape cassettes, a medium that itself does not have a beginning or an end, but only allows the listener to experience the composition spanning over time with the impression of movement or variations, but always returning to the basic piano sequence.
