Releasenotes:
Fabio Orsi has to be one of the most prolific artists we know, covering an
enormous amount of ground in the array of works he seems utterly adept at
producing time and time again.
As I am sure many Home Normal and Fabio Orsi fans are aware, we released the
rather massive collaboration between Fabio and Pimmon 'Procrastination' in
February of 2013 to critical acclaim. It whammed itself into a heap of end of
year lists, especially those geared towards drone and ambient music, with
everyone noting just how enormous sounding the album was.
In summer of 2013, we invited Fabio over to perform at the HomeNormalism
festival. Despite suffering from fierce flu, he performed one of the most
dynamic and intense live sets we have ever seen in a totally darkened Cafe Oto.
I recall watching people by the speakers covering their ears as the subs
shuddered increasingly through the set, with only Fabio's face lit up in the
entire venue to give the whole affair an incredible forcefulness.
It would be easy for anyone basing an opinion of Fabio's music on these alone to
assume his work is focused on 'atmospheric drone' (as is often quoted). He is
rightly regarded as one of the most unique voices in modern ambient music, with
releases on some superb labels, including the amazing 'Stand Before Me, Oh My
Soul' on Australia's Preservation label. Yet, what might surprise many is just
how melodic and accessible Fabio's music can be at times. His ability to glide
between exquisitely subtle minimalism and distinctively catchy melodies really
makes 'Just For A Thrill' stand out from other records similar in nature.
Throughout the eight 'untitled' tracks (each is called 'Just For A Thrill'),
Fabio contorts beautiful melodic structures from very direct instrumentation,
with each track having a kind of 'classic' quality to them already. Whilst we
have taken well over a year to get this wrapped up, it is quite often I find
myself humming a tune and wondering what on earth it is, only to discover it was
from this very album. How many 'minimal' releases is that true of? Perhaps some
might say, not enough.
As huge fans of Fabio's photography, as well as his music, we decided to work
together on something special in this regard to tie the release together nicely.
'Just For A Thrill' comes using locally cultivated materials including handmade
380gsm washi outer wrap, with a 16 page recycled card booklet using some of
Fabio's beautiful polaroid shots.
