Album ‘A constant state of undoing’ out now

On July 17 I released my debut album as V.N. Lucarelli. It’s been a work in progress for much of the time I’ve lived in Mparntwe and it’s as much a relief to share it with the world as it is nerve-racking.

Since the release, just under a month ago, the album has been luck enough to receive feature album status on 8CCC Community Radio, and have some really kind words written about it on Longform Editions’ First Impressions newsletter:

There’s not a great deal of ambient music coming out of Australia’s Northern Territory. Maybe its wide open space, bushland and natural beauty offers enough similar stimulus. I’ve been tipped for a while to the work of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) resident Vito Lucarelli, whose offerings of spacious longform works, bobbing with beautifully balanced tone floats mollified In a very cool state of hang time. Lucarelli’s approach has a disarming gentility that leaves you happily neither here nor there, also stretching into zones where it’s not all bounce and bubble. Breaking into warping glitch-house and glassy, spaced-out synth melodies teeming in faster particle formation, if this is how Lucarelli maps our collective undoing, it’s a great way to raise our consciousness.

Big thank you to Sara Maiorino for letting me use their image for the album artwork, Jez Conlon of Left of Elephant Sound for the mastering and Dave (Resin Moon) for allowing me to share an excerpt of one of our improvised performances.

You can find the album on most streaming platforms except for Spotify (here is a courtesy link) as well as my Bandcamp.
