"Arriving at each new city,

the traveler finds again a past of his

that he did not know he had:

the foreignness of what you no longer are

or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign,

unpossessed places."

​

– Italo Calvino

Grotta Veterano is an artist based in northern Italy.

 

Before moving to more abstract territories he played in several clubs with a band that makes a strange crooked electronic pop. However, the leitmotif of his musical research lies in the attention paid to the field of sound design and the more textural aspect of music, such as pop music as also in abstract experimental music.

 

His musical material is all that allows him to create texture and to give the listener the opportunity to enter for a few minutes into a sound space unrelated to everyday life.
