about

Becauseimreal, an electronic duo composed by Michele Sterchele and Tommaso Dell’Anna, are proud to present their first EP, 295sex.

Conceived as a research project on the theme of background music for freelance jobs, it’s a selection of tracks conceived in the span of four summer days in the Italian Alps.

The atmospheres of the record evoke the ghosts of positivity, a presence that often haunt the lives of self employed professionals. A new kind of desolation lingers in these new work paradigms, as the freelance worker picture him/herself in the melancholic and modernist stereotype of the “writer-in-a-night-bar-drinking-coffee”. But the romance’s lost forever. All that remains is a nostalgic feeling of an era we saw in movies or read in books, but that won’t happen again. Maybe, it never actually happened.

Contrasting the now apparently defunct shared business of the millennial workforce, and ominous of the pandemic era, the artwork shows an empty, blissful room, illuminated by what seems to appear as a UV light, that freezes it in a sort of quantic hour of the day, where the daylight coincides with the darkness of the night. Attached on the wall, like a religious icon, a poster that’s probably more than a hint to the digital icon of a new file.

The first, and probably only, single out is “And Roses”, accompanied by a short film made out of shots of Milan taken during the second pandemic wave, in which the eye wanders and ponders on urban details in between a point of detachment and one of admiration.

The Ep is out on alla major streaming platforms and Bandcamp, and is set to be released on a physical format in the next months.
