Born in Rieti in 1990 and raised in a small village on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo, Carlo Valente is an Italian
singer-songwriter known for his evocative storytelling and distinctive voice. Following the release of his debut EP Collezioni
(2014) and the acclaimed album Tra l'altro... (2017), he established himself within the contemporary Italian songwriting scene.
His music combines intimate narratives, poetic imagery, and a deeply personal perspective. In 2023, he returned with Metri quadrati,
further defining his unique artistic identity.
Album & Artistic Project: Metri quadrati
Released in 2023 by TotoSound, Metri quadrati is an eight-song journey born from isolation and introspection. Drawing inspiration from
confinement and the desire to look beyond physical boundaries, the album explores themes of love, loss, mortality, and renewal. Valente
blends personal experiences with vivid storytelling, creating a coherent and emotionally resonant narrative. While rooted in
singer-songwriter traditions, the project introduces electronic textures that enrich its intimate and contemporary sound.
Carlo Valente 於 1990 年出生於里埃蒂(Rieti),在拉齊歐(Lazio)與阿布魯佐(Abruzzo)交界的一個小村莊長大。這位意大利唱作人以其極具渲染力的敘事手法與獨特的嗓音而聞名。繼 2014 年推出首張迷你專輯(EP)《Collezioni》以及 2017 年備受好評的專輯《Tra l'altro...》之後,他成功在當代意大利音樂創作領域奠定了自己的地位。他的音樂完美揉合了細膩的內心獨白、充滿詩意的意象,以及深刻的個人視角。2023 年,他帶著專輯《Metri quadrati》回歸,進一步凸顯了他獨一無二的藝術風采。
專輯與藝術企劃:《Metri quadrati》
由 TotoSound 於 2023 年發行的《Metri quadrati》收錄了八首歌曲,是一場源於孤獨與內省的音樂旅程。這張專輯的靈感來自被拘禁受限的狀態,以及渴望突破物理邊界的期盼,進而深入探討了愛、逝去、死亡與新生等主題。Valente 將個人經歷與生動的敘事手法交織在一起,建構出一個連貫且引發情感共鳴的故事。在承襲傳統唱作人風格的同時,該企劃亦大膽融入了電子音樂的元素,使其細膩內斂的當代聲音更顯層次豐富。

Levin Goes Lightly would play alongside David Bowie
at SO36 in the 80s and is part of the current Berlin scene, even though he doesn't live here. Berghain bouncer Sven Marquart considers
him an inspiration. He appears in shiny make-up like a bird of paradise and yet remains the cool prince of darkness. Levin Goes
Lightly's music is a mixture of post-punk, dream pop and synthwave. The Stuttgart-based musician (who lives in an old train wagon)
began releasing music in the early 2010s and has gained attention for his atmospheric sound and melancholic lyrics. Levin Goes
Lightly's music is often characterized by haunting vocals, minimalist production and atmospheric electronic elements that create an
otherworldly and introspective mood. His albums such as "Neo Romantic" and "Nackt" have earned him a loyal following in
the indie music scene and established him as a unique voice in contemporary German underground music. His songs alternate between the muted
languages of German and English. He has been played live on the BBC by Iggy Pop and featured on Trentemøller compilations alongside The KVB,
Black Marble and Slow Dive.
