    Background Techno Experience Podcast - Episode 274 ANTONIO MORPH CARASSI


    Born in Brindisi in October 1978, grows, unlike his peers, with strange musical influences for a '80s child: Kraftwerk, To Rococo rot, Depeche Mode, A-ha, and the entire discography of Mike Oldfield and Franco Battiato led him to 7 years to take the long road that will take him today, to be one of the most prominent Italian exponents of 'electronic music in the European underground scene and, for some time, even Asian (Japan is now considered his second artistic home).With a solid knowledge of musical art, has in his luggage a great disposition to mass communication that can involve a wide range of emotional thinking brains.In April 2006, he joined as producer the dj/producers ghost crew South Conspiracy, under the nickname of Dark Fader. Locked in the studio for six months in close contact with the group's production philosophies, refining his techniques, becoming an active part of the project and group's front man.In winter 2006 he decided to face the first test as a producer and solo artist, under his first pseudonym, Morph, assisted by the South Conspiracy team, he start living into the studio and produce a track after another (each with the intent to bring the various facets of music, artistic soul), ranging from chopin style symphonies, which inspired him so much, to the tricky and fast drum & bass producer Roni Size. This album is "He Comes", ten tracks plus a bonus one that have been able to earn a star among the albums offered by Electronic Scene.The single "Innamoratevi" (fall in love), where he collaborates with South Conspiracy, is transmitted by several radio networks in Italy and comes in high rotation in four Japanese radios, enjoying success in France, Canada and Australia. It’s sampled monologue taken from the Oscar winner film "The Tiger and the Snow," of Roberto Benigni, who was enthusiastic and fully endorsed the project when Morph shows it to him.Never tired like all creative people, doesn’t allow himself a break, and while it's still promoting "He Comes" he projected his mind to a musical genre that fascinates him a lot, the minimal house.He conceives it his way, he varies the sizes and rules of it, and in ten months creates "Minimal is the answer", which is appreciated by professionals who listened to the first promotional track.The turning point came when he was signed with Delectable Record of Genova, with a five years contract.The singles from the album, are offered on the international dance music portal Beatport, receiving excellent feedback from gurus of electronic dance music such as Francesco Zappalà, Mario Piú and the english Terminus.In summer 2008 he wrote a play designed to bind to electronic ambient music he created, or mixed. In love with "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare, proposes the actor and director Massimo Romano to take it on stage, playing the role of Mark Antony. The world premiere took place during the White Night in Galatina (a whole night of exhibitions) , where also the actor Riccardo Riccardi joins, performing in a cameo that surprised positively the audience and critics.It is a success. It creates a turn of attention towards the project which, in the winter of 2008/09, will be staged in Italian theaters.Still hungry after the positive period and the good reviews that would cause another to rest a but over his success, Morph just can’t stop and announces in a press conference the work in progress for a new album, "Equilibrium".Produces most of the tracks on the new album by the South Conspiracy, the sixth group, "The Legend of the faceless man.""Equilibrium" Instead, the new album contains six minimal house tracks. Tough, with no smudging and unnecessary frills, the album in its pure essentialism is delivered in part to the Delectable Records and in part to a young Japanese producer Satoru Uemura who believes in the musical gifts of the Italian producer and makes it fly across thethe world for a live tour that sees him engaged for four months in the largest clubs in Tokyo, Osaka and Sapporo. Uemura takes him under his wing and commissioned an album for the summer of 2010, work that already has a title, "Love under the Fuji Yama", which suggests the intentions of Morph.In December 2009 that Morph returns to amaze with an album that leaves everyone speechless, direct and immediate, composed in just 14 days: "Magia ..." (magic) is an album that amazes all the followers.No beat, no distortion, solo piano (played with a software,Morph can not play the piano!), The sound of the sea and a lot of magic.It 's an album that marks a new path, made of study and commitment, critics adores him from Italy to Japan, the same Japan, which have welcomed him first with the minimal house sound, now appreciated him for these sounds, so rare that Masakazu Kitanaka, great critic and radio author, puts him alongside the greats of our century.He also provides the soundtrack for a movie from the director of Osaka, Yosuke Kimihigashi, three experimental tracks in futuristic visual atmospheres.He never stops, and the South Conspiracy calls him to the studio to work as chief project for a new album that will be distributed by Magic Shop Records in December 2010. The album will be called "Akira | Kiko".2011 will be a full of productions year by Morph. In February, Magic 2 will be out.In the same month, he participates in the celebration of thirty years of career of Nardelli Pino (a famous painter), "Pino Nardelli Punto e a capo" (Pino Nardelli starting over) writing the music that will be the soundtrack during the exhibition of mr Nardelli, during the summer, a live performance which involves the producer playing and the painter who painting the same time. Morph produces three tracks included on an EP titled " Pino Nardelli punto e Morph." He’s able to manipulate the sound adapting it to the location and the environment.In June, a new minimal house album will be out "Minimal macht Frei".Music once again in November 2011, an exhibition of “Maestro” Nardelli consolidating the collaboration more and more.At the same time "Magic 3" takes shape, launched with the video for the single "rincontrarsi" (meeting again) shot on the border between Brindisi and Lecce, in the grounds of Negramaro, unexpectedly thrilling everybody!Also in November 2011 he writes an act to combine electronic music with texts by Neruda, Garcia Lorca and other great poets, read by the actor Riccardo Riccardi, with his music’s soundtrack. In April, the 25th anniversary of his career as a DJ released an EP titled "RUR" (Robot under Revolte), inspired by the stories of Isaac Asimov.Morph moves constantly from one end of the boot offering imaginative and eclectic live sets ranging from trip hop to a deeply researched house music.In June 2011 he took over all the production rights of South Conspiracy so upcoming albums created with this name will be nothing but productions following the line of the group's musical philosophy, but in this case also representing Morph with another name.In the summer of 2012 began a major collaboration with producer Matthias Malerba, with whom he formed the group "The 30 differences", remixing a wild track of the reggae band Rankin Lele & Papa Leu. Morph signing a contract with the Crossworld Records (UK) and the Italian for the Quintessence which produces two epSOUNDCLOUD - Oops, looks like we can't find that page! on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free - Page Not Found | Facebook - Chordose - Toby Dreher2 - Breathe - Meiko/ Dominik Sobar3 - Sintual (Kevin Jimenez & Victor Henao Rmx) - Angel Sanchez4 - CB4 - Ricardo Garduno5 - Octvs - Dubfire6 - Poltergeist - Twisted7 - Mosquito - The Edge8 - Void - Sasha Carassi & Michael Jonasson9 - Innersphere - Roel Salemink10 - Black Morning (Snello Rmx) - Redhead11 - Jackin' it ( Philippe Arruda Remix) - Peter Bailey & Philippe Arruda12 - What happened to change ( D-formation Remix) - Paskal Daze & Framk Julien
