Andre Unknown Shares New Single ‘Time to Go’

Published

on

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro and based in New York, Andre Unknown, a keyboard player, singer, and designer, uses a self-made app, diverse collaborators, and a self-produced process to create unique music. He returns with his latest offering ‘Time to Go’.

‘Time to Go’ is a genre-blending alternative-pop, indie-pop, indie-rock, and indie-electronica release. The single captivates Andre Unknown’s audience with his versatility in vocals and production. 

‘Time to Go’ with its hypnotic bassline and gritty chorus of “it’s the same old shit, it’s the same old shit,” is an uncompromising look at the cyclical nature of life’s challenges. The irony of searching for novelty only to become entangled in the same problems and emotional environments we wished to avoid is depicted in the song. It acts as a musical mirror, noting the irritating consistency of some life situations while also expressing our shared yearning for change. The song speaks to anybody who has ever imagined that a change in surroundings would lead to a change in themselves, only to find that while things may change, the storyline stays the same. This is especially relevant in the current environment of unending uncertainty.

He is excited about this release, showcasing his natural ability and personal development in the music business. Andre Unknown’s collection showcases his creative and free-spirited attitude, and his unparalleled talent enables him to move fluidly between many genres.

Andre Unknown‘s promising sound is helping him make his place in the music industry. Please check out his social media and streaming accounts for the most recent information.

Michele Ducci releases “Why You?” and full “Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature” videos!

Published

“Why You?” is the second part of “Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature”, an animated short film by Michele Ducci and Letizia Mandolesi. The film, which contains two new songs, “Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?” and “Why You?”, tells the story of an animated book called “The Great Book of Nature”, which itself purports to tell the story of a printed book by the same name.

“Why You?” is a jaunty fairground waltz with a big uplifting chorus, which appears to run counter to the on-screen events, evoking the Brechtian concept of the disengagement effect, in which the audience is encouraged to engage with the story intellectually rather than emotionally. 

Set in a police state where music is banned and real thought is suppressed by the introduction of a dumbed down language (‘Bla Bla Bla’), the film introduces a man named Elpino, who buys an animated AI book called “The Great Book of Nature” and embarks on a Kafkaesque train journey, where an alien creature, Marsia Joy, who represents music, is pursued by a policeman for merely existing. Marsia can cry a flood of tears to put out fires caused by the oppressors and enclose violent pursuers in cocoons, turning them into butterflies.

Rather than talking about other things, the book talks about itself. Says Ducci, “The thing that interests me about AI is that at the bottom of what should preserve remembrances, and memories seems to be a memory without remembrance and remembrance without the memory that precedes each remembered memory.”

The “blink and you will miss it” ending provides a final bizarre twist to the tale.

Michele Ducci will perform live at ‘Nursery of Freedom’, an all-day event of live music, art, film and tattoos at New River Studios in London on Sunday 27th July.
