about

Demetrio Cecchitelli (b. 1997) is a musician, multi-instrumentalist, improviser, composer and research artist. In his sound performances gestures and textures melt composing layers and timbrical juxtaposition. He uses lots of techniques from the concrete music's experience and both electroacoustic, where the usage of different sound sources, mixed to live electronics and instrumental parts argue the compositional and performative act.

Also known as halfcastle, he releases 2:2 for Biodiversità Records (Florence) in collaboration with Daniele Carcassi to that follow "Trasparenza": mix + featured article on A Closer Listen and other live and showcase for radio mixes, galleries and sound-art works like Officina Matteucci, NUB Project Space, ROCKETRADIO, Melodic Distraction, Fango Radio and Benjamin (Radio Papesse). There are also other works released for Switch Music Recordings, Weird Tapes Rekords (Italy) and many podcasts of live sessions on dedicated areas like Thera, Sinestesie and USMARADIO. His track "In Eine Welt Entrückt" inside the VV.AA. Uno of Luminance Records has been well received in the edition of January 2020 in Blow-Up Magazine. He took part, participated and played at festivals, events and happenings like: UMUM Festival, Cagetown, RIU Project, MOHO Club Discontinuo, Tempo Reale - The Last Minute Concert, Discomfort Dispatch, Wash Up! (Santarcangelo Festival), Bologna Elettrica, PoverArte.

In 2020 he releases for Manyfeetunder, Luminance Records, Ghost City Collective, Weber & Alcantu, 1834, Zenapolæ, Healing Sound Propagandist and Sounds Against Humanity. He did mixes on Dream Scenes, Dronica Podcast (Resonance Extra), Paranoise Radio, Le Kabaret and radio.syg.ma. Played with ?Alos, NicoNote, Lucie Pachova, Davide Bartolomei, Elia Moretti, John-Robin Bold, Andrea Marinelli, Daniele Carcassi, Loris Cericola, Roberto Paci Dalò, Enrico Malatesta. Collaborates with performance artist and director Cecilia Lentini.

"The Usher" was originally called "Drone 7", as the seventh work of a research in the field of drone-music. The title of this track reveals a condition, an existential one, that of the category of workers, who stand more than six hours a day, mostly not moving. As a conception of "moving" sound (in this case, a polarized drone) the term that best defines the thematic material of the composition is "suono mobile", coined by Italian composer Luigi Nono. A physiological reconciliation from the stressing routine.

Demetrio Cecchitelli will release an album on DWI in March 2021.
