Floating by MOTMOT
OUI056: MOTMOT / Floating
MOTMOT is the project of singer Chiara Bacci, where composition intertwines with improvisation and sonic exploration. Alongside Chiara are saxophonist Adia Vanheerentals, pianist Simon Groppe, and drummer Gaspard Sicx.
The lyrics speak through images, short stories, and fragments, while the music creates calm atmospheres that are sometimes abruptly interrupted. The structures unfold horizontally and, when they return, they reappear in a new form.
Floating, the group’s debut album, moves along the line separating dreams from reality both in the writing of the lyrics and in the unfurling of the music. Recorded on July 13 and 14, 2024 at Zinnema (Brussels) by Dries Van Ende who also handled mixing and mastering.
Chiara Bacci is a Brussels-based singer and composer. Her way of using the voice combined with electronics plays a fundamental role in her practice as it allows her to develop an idea of vocality which is no longer necessarily anchored to its traditional function, as she passes nimbly from being a storyteller to a source of abstract sounds.
