Godblesscomputers Plush & Safe

Lorenzo “Godblesscomputers” Nada is collector of concrete sounds. He explores, catalogues, and dissects them for, eventually, recomposing them in synthetic sounds. Born in Italy, he experienced his artistic debut in Berlin. His musical background is a combination of influences: hip hop, soul, funk, jazz, labels such as Warp and Ninja Tune, and mostly british electronic music, taking off from black music's rhythms and styles but drifting to something new. As for his style, it could be defined as a succession of living texture and impatient rhythms, pathos and silences, beats' thickening and long melancholic breathing space.

“Plush and Safe”, Godblesscomputers' new album, is a “semi-quote” coming from the early graffiti period of Basquiat, when he was still tagging under the name “SAMO” throughout walls of SoHo and TriBeCa. This sentence echoed with Godblessocomputers' imagination: the feeling of incertitude and lack of balance, preventing from the possibility to halt and think, become the bare requirement to create. “Plush and Safe” stands for the clash between the pursuit of safety and control and the acknowledgment of its impossibility. It's a deeply autobiographical album reflecting the complexity Lorenzo experienced both professionally and personally after the release of his last work, “Veleno”, that came out in April 2014. Some characters, places and events take shape among the tracks of “Plush and Safe", evoked by a very personal and confidential collection of field recording, coming from both urban and natural landscape.
