“Polyrhythmia” Album

Music

Polyrhtyhmia is an album that is inspired by the idea of finding a sense of calm among dissonant layers of sound. With this concept, the drums acted as a series of heartbeats which functioned at different time signatures and are centered by ambient melodies and warped samples. These are mini songs as well (their length partially inspired by Tierra Whack and her album Whack World).

I am also interested in using music as a form of hypnosis, and have been exploring this concept more through piano too…more to come on this later. This was released under my musician name Della Neve, which means “Of Snow” in Italian and is a reference to my last name as well as cultural background.

Hope you enjoy this little project. And make sure to check out a music video I made for one of the tracks here.

“Historia” Music Video

Films, Music, music video

I recently had the great fortune of directing and editing this music video for local multilingual artist Razteria.

It’s been a childhood dream of mine to shoot something at the historic Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond, and so I’m thrilled we were able to make it happen on such short notice. It was also great joy to experiment with some new motion graphic techniques and a 1920s aesthetic too. Being able to do an old-timey gangster inspired phone improv was also a pleasure for me too.

I am honored to find out recently that this film was selected by the Prague Music Video Awards for their Autumn 2023 showcase. Hope you enjoy!
