33 Sublimazione Fallita

Metronautica

A journey through existential fog. A consciousness emerging from doubt, in the enigmatic symbiosis of dodecaphony, serialism, radical improvisation, free jazz, and electronic music.

The 33rd release by nusica.org, a cultural association dedicated to promoting and supporting innovative artists.

The new work by Metronautica, available in digital and physical formats starting January 18, 2025, preceded by the release of the single 2C on January 10, 2025.

Metronautica embarks on a multifaceted path in Sublimazione Fallita, a new album released on  January 18, 2025, under the nusica.org label.

The title itself encapsulates the essence of an exploratory endeavor, fostering a new awareness where categorization attempts fail or, at best, remain partial.

The album’s central theme is mutability, the idea that one can transcend the divide between reality and singular definitions to explore new boundaries. In this way, art—within Metronautica’s vision (a collective formed in 2021 by trumpeter Michele Tedesco and pianist Luca Dalla Gasperina)—is never mere contemplation. Instead, it is a tool for action and a means of interpreting oneself and the world.

The project draws on sophisticated references to Italo Svevo and Miguel de Unamuno, whose works (La coscienza di Zeno, 1923, and Niebla, 1914, respectively) reflect on the cracks in the everyday facade and the deceptive concept of normality—or normativity. Sublimazione Fallita thus acts as an attempt at “disorder,” a desire to destabilize while affirming its own identity: clear yet chameleonic. It is a journey through existential fog, ultimately seeking self-awareness born from doubt, capable of generating and offering new solutions.

Musically, the suite translates these ideas into a composition for six instruments, seamlessly blending stylistic elements of serialism, dodecaphony, radical improvisation, free jazz, and electronic music.

Metronautica’s Sublimazione Fallita is a bold and innovative project that challenges musical conventions while offering profound emotional and intellectual resonance.
