Fabio Orsi - Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma [Boring Machines - 2019]

Fabio Orsi is an incredibly prolific electronic drone musician hailing from the Southern Italian city of Taranto, having released up to 40 full length albums either under his own steam or with collaborators including Valerio Cosi, Seaworthy and Flushing Device. Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma represents his fourth release for Boring Machines.

Comprised of two twenty-minute plus tracks of music, representing side A and B of the vinyl release Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma makes for an interesting listen. Side A starts off with a very simple droning synth line building over time as more and more layers are gradually added to the mix. It moves at a glacial pace; however, it is graceful and flows beautifully throughout. There is something quite pleasant about its lack of complexity, the simple raw ambience of the track ensures it works well as background music. Around the midpoint the track begins its leisurely ascent back into the realms of a single drone. Whilst it doesn’t really go anywhere it does a remarkable job of just doing its own thing and bugger anyone who doesn’t agree.

Side B picks up in very similar territory. Slow, simple, lush drones leading the way as Orsi once again takes his time in setting out his stall. As with the opening side of the album this monolithic slab of audio is both pleasant and unhurried, weaving its way slowly across its twenty minute length in much the same way a river will over time meander its way across the countryside, changing direction at such a slow pace that it’s barely noticeable.

Overall, Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma is a lovely album that ebbs and flows perfectly. Orsi makes everything seem so simple, yet that really establishes the album’s true genius. His ability to make the music sound completely effortless, almost as if it were simply a case of setting up the instruments and hitting play. This is most certainly not the case, but one can almost imagine Orsi doing just that. Whilst it doesn’t break any new ground it draws the listener in to its sumptuous drones, leaving you relaxed and satisfied.
