Eclectic dance music activist Simone Gatto is set to release his debut album ‚Detachment’ on New York based outlet Sheik ’N’ Beik. The album represents the path of life, the flow of time and the emotions occurring in human beings from their birth to death in an audio & visual experience.
Gatto’s debut album also summarizes the artist’s personal journey both musically and culturally. From a philosophical point of view Detachment is the process through which human beings implement a series of actions in order to search, find and maintain interior wellness. A means through which human beings can forget the capitalistic world and relive the essence of ethical values. Detachment is reuniting with its own spiritual sphere, allowing one to become immune to negative circumstances, imbalances, misconducts and pessimism.
Each track describes a way to relive, assimilate and react to events and memories of the past. This leads us to a stage of happiness and awareness, which is obtainable exclusively in places that are meaningful and in the company of people who are dear to us.
The album is punctuated by a lyrical voyage of discovery, including various elements of ambient music, electronic downbeat and techno. Simone touches sonorous and emotional extremes that are distant and deep at the same time.We encounter gloomy and luminous atmospheres, joyful and melancholic textures, loose and pressing rhythms characterize the audio visual journey throughout the twelve tracks. Feeling reminded of common life impressions, we experience the tracks like hybrids ranging between phases of tension, impasse, calm, wellbeing, discomfort, happiness and equilibrium.
The artwork and painting ‚Detachment’ was commissioned by Giorgio Casu.
He worked to translate Simone's vision & feelings through the painting. Depicting emotions within a naturalistic scenery. While the painting will be showcased on the outside album artwork, the inside of the album contains a special collage from Simone’s homeland which is an ideal location for spiritual isolation and full immersion in “Detachment”.
