Santamorina is an experiment that doesn't seek balance. Almost by chance and without a real declaration of intent, Sara Cappai and Gianmarco Cireddu (formerly Diverting duo now Memory of Sho, Ramplingg) Nicola Porceddu (Dainocova, Mr Moka) and Valentina Fadda carry on this new post punk project based in Cagliari (IT), moving between dark folk and almost psychedelic sounds.
Rough atmosphere and well beyond no-wave, markedly extemporaneous, noisy, characterized by the dark line of the rhythmic and elegant lysergic decorations of the voice, guitar and synthesizer.
Without multitrack or special effects "Eloise" was recorded live on a cassette recorder, in the late February 2020, and it is part of a four-pieces serie that will be released in digital format for Tiny Speaker record label in the next months.
The saturated and lo-fi classic sound of the tape recording merges with the video in a real VHS quality, which was edited by Sara Cappai during the lockdown, using some open source footages found on the web, that portray Indian dancers in their ritual performances.
