Damian Dalla Torre "Happy Floating"

ATTENTION! CONCERT CANCELLED!

On February 25, 2022, "Happy Floating", the debut album of the musician Damian Dalla Torre, born in South Tyrol and living in Leipzig, was released on the Munich-based label Squama Recordings.

Created from sketches dating back several years and completed during the moment of collective reflection in the past pandemic year, "Happy Floating" is a stunning result of genre collisions and unexpected metamorphoses. The album is a collaborative work with contributions from nineteen musicians*, including Ruth Goller, Alex Binder, Heidi Bayer, Theresia Philipp, Antonia Hausmann and Jan Roth, among others. The radiant collage of field recordings, brass instruments, synth strings and delicate sampling techniques oscillates between gentle familiarity and dreamlike distortion to create a warmth that makes us not want to stop listening. Throughout the album, Damian Dalla Torre attempts to explore a state of happy floating: In doing so, he is aware of the impermanent nature of carefree and powerfully condenses it into sonic form. Of the album's music, he says, "It's ambivalent - one is melancholic, but at the same time blatantly hopeful." Damian Dalla Torre's work encapsulates the collective feeling of a generation in difficult times, where a cautious optimism persists against the backdrop of an increasingly bleak world outside the home.

Due to illness the concert is cancelled! Already purchased tickets will be refunded via TixforGigs.
