(etre) is the project of Italian sound artist Salvatore Borrelli,
"A Post-Fordist Parade in the Strike of Events" being his debut album
and the latest release from Baskaru.

For going beyond the laptop cliches, that is, as a first listen to
"A Post-Fordist Parade in the Strike of Events" clearly demonstrates:
vocals, toys, and all kinds of guitars and percussion instruments
unceremoniously blend in with field recordings and custom Max/MSP patches.

Under a glitch guise, (etre)'s music hides a resolutely personal approach
combining melodicism, collage, lyricism, and a sharp sense of digital textures.
Ekkehard Ehlers, Tim Hecker and Greg Davis come to mind, not because (etre)
sounds like them, but because he sounds as unmistakably unique as them.
The 11 tracks on "A Post-Fordist Parade in the Strike of Events" form a loose
suite of sorts, like the successive dreams of a restless night.
The album also includes an extra track, "Search & Destroy White Calligraphy",
accompanied by a remarkable video signed Virgilio Villoresi and Giuseppe Chiesa.

(etre) was first active in the fields of sound art installation and experimental
performance art. A member of the collective iXem, he has worked with interior
decorator Lin-Kuhn Liao and ceramist Fabrizio Quintelmo.
