Биография

Venetian composer, musician, producer, and polymath Gigi Masin has always been an innovator, his first experiments in the late 1970s were sound collages made while working for theatres in Venice, working with tape loops, field recordings, and turntablism. Experimenting with tape culminated in the release of his debut album Wind in 1986. Underappreciated on its release, Wind soon gained a cult following among late-night radio listeners, hearing these gentle echoes of the Venetian landscape. Released for free, Gigi never expected much to come of it. His 1989 joint album for Sub Rosa with This Heat’s Charles Hayward, Les Nouvelles Musiques Du Chambre, took on a life of its own when his track Clouds was sampled by Björk, To Rococo Rot, Nujabes, Black Eyed Peas, and Post Malone – but Gigi remained in obscurity. In 2014, Dutch label Music From Memory released Talk To The Sea, a retrospective of the past 30 years of Gigi’s output, favourites handpicked by label heads Jamie Tiller and Tako Reyenga. It marked the start of the wider recognition Gigi so richly deserved, receiving praise from the media. Gigi Masin continues to be one of the most quietly innovative and singular artists in the scene.
