Fera

Fera is Andrea De Franco, electronic composer from Southern Italy now residing in Bologna, best known for his work as visual/comic artist and for running his own publishing house De Press. Just like with his drawings, Andrea De Franco, has been slowly building an expansive body of work collecting tracks, audio snippets and beautifully layered soundscapes that escape any definition of contemporary electronic form. ‘Stupidamutaforma’ dates back to 2008-2010, and like its title is a deep journey into synthesis and metamorphose through psychedelic shape-shifting electronic songs dumbed down (stupida) to incapsulate grime, errors, terrestrial bleeps and pulsating techno. Ten years of work that De Franco does not see as some sort of culmination of efforts but rather as a state of transition from insecurity to coming to terms with his obsession and acknowledging that this music needs to remain in somewhat of a raw form.
