Caterina Barbieri — Spirit Exit (light-years)

Photo by Furmaan Ahmed

The cover of Spirit Exit shows the artist suspended in a shaft of light above foaming waves against an otherwise blackened sky. At first glance, she appears to be falling or do her trailing limbs suggest she is rising or held in stasis? That’s more or less the position that Italian composer Caterina Barbieri places the listener in over eight tracks in which ascension is complicated by inertia and descent. Although best known for her work with modular synthesizers, Barbieri introduces classical guitar, strings and voice to lend a human feel to the mystical bent of the music. She explicitly links the polyphonic qualities of the synths and renaissance music to collapse time and create a liturgical synthesis in which her rhythms and patterns reflect a struggle for transcendence.

Deliberate anachronisms interpolate references to Bach and sacred music amongst Vangelis and Jarre galacticisms. The album’s gothic architecture is both grand and disquieting. Spirit Exit’s intimacy is disturbed by external forces and derange by ecstasy, whether in the nervy thrum of “Canticle for Cryo” or the distressed mechanical waltz of “Terminal Clock” or the febrile dance floor rush that interrupts “Broken Melody” It is in these intersections of the ethereal and the earthly that Barbieri is most effective, singing with a plaintive almost operatic tone that contrasts with eruptions of turmoil. “Life At Altitude” blooms from a scratchy unyoking. It circles and falters before breaking the bonds of gravity to glide. As it rises on currents of synth over a counterpoint of bass tones, the cut reminds us that gravity’s weight of gravity is not so easily eluded. Barbieri closes the album in a state of relative grace on the lush romanticism of “The Landscape Listens” which feels the most personal and harmonious statement on Spirit Exit, one of acceptance if not acquiescence.  

The title is ambiguous; it could be an exorcist’s exhortation, a plea for freedom from earthly matters or a meditation on mortality. The music sometimes meanders as perspectives shift and but Barbieri’s juxtapositions of church and club in which transcendence through music can be both a public and intensely personal experience is never less than transporting.

Love more and more queer genderless way to dress - that’s the liberation and emancipation of the man! 

this ist the lookbook of Flint James Mcdonald 

"For this collection I began with reference to 80’s New Romanticism where I considered the notion of wearing historical dress, referencing similarities between male and female attire and the exploration found in the art of 'getting ready’ and bettering one’s self with delusions of opulence. With this in mind I researched poignant individuals throughout history whose delusions and lifestyles accounted to their fame (i.e Beau Brummel, Anita Berber and Kitty Winter) and wanted to convey a sense of debauchery within my collection whilst capturing the ritualistic nature which comes with the performative gesture of preparing oneself for an occasion. Exploration of gender is a reoccurring theme within my work when looking to antiquated dress codes of androgynous costume. Looking closely to the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries I attempt to challenge the distinction between gendered dress, which was once less prevalent, and also toy with delusions of grandeur and living out with our means" - Flint James Mcdonald.
