All in the Golden Afternoon We Glide

by LATHE 00

/
  • Book/Magazine + Digital Album

    "All in the Golden Afternoon We Glide" is the title of the zine that accompanies LATHE 00's eponymous album. Drawing upon a diverse array of captivating images procured from open-source digital libraries, the zine endeavors to explore the narratives, symbolism, and hidden layers of significance interwoven within each of the album's tracks. It achieves this through a visual exploration of the four central themes that shape the record, which recur as cyclical motifs throughout both the album and the accompanying zine.

about

“All in the Golden Afternoon We Glide” (Realia006) is the forthcoming record from LATHE 00, the new moniker under which Umbria-based artist Leonardo Carloni has recently started to operate. Preceded by several collaborative undertakings, LATHE 00’s debut solo album is akin to an experiment in autotheory, where art-making practice and theoretical inquiry are entwined to the point of being virtually inseparable. Through the combined use of autobiographical and philosophical elements, “All in the Golden Afternoon We Glide” meditates on individuality, technology, and new forms of post-human existence.

The record has been conceived as a three-act project, with each act comprising four compositions that correspond to as many recurring themes: birth, love, death, and emptiness. Produced over the course of two years, the album has a total of twelve tracks, the majority of which run for less than two and a half minutes. As the album progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that these tracks are not simply standalone pieces of music, but rather outtakes from a single, continuously mutating continuum.

LATHE 00’s first feature is a work of rare beauty. As a one-person debut project, its stylistic variety, compositional maturity, and technical rigor are outstanding. By combining a forward-looking production style with references as varied as ambient, hyper-pop, instrumental post-rock, world-beat, and modern classical and folk music, LATHE 00 develops a mode of expression that transgresses genres and is distinctively his own. The result is a signature sound that feels equally primordial and hyper-contemporary, fleshly visceral and digitally detached. The inclusion of the artist's own vocals in the music is a notable aspect of this style. Alongside sampled materials, his non-lexical vocalizations appear as both an affirmative and negative act, simultaneously gesturing towards bodiless dissolution and a desire to reclaim one’s all-too-embodied presence in this world.

Despite its foundation in profound theoretical underpinnings, "All in the Golden Afternoon We Glide" surprisingly relies solely on wordless communication. As a result, the song titles become key conduits of information. Appealing primarily to the listener’s sense of sight, they are used in a way that seamlessly blends the aesthetics of the digital (“Loading of Image Aborted!”), natural (the title track), and ritualistic (Pouring Blood into the Lake).

The album will be released in digital format, along with a limited-edition zine conceptualised and designed by Lidia Ginga Cozzupoli and Bernardo Berga.
