Compulsion Fissure by T.U. is a meticulously layered sonic expression built on repetition and rhythmical approaches to sound design. The sound of the whole EP has a very distinctive noisy and growling texture coming from a long feedback chain where the project’s samples get compressed, altered and amplified to enhance their nature before being arranged and intertwined with one another. Reiteration is at the center of this EP as a way to constantly reinvent material without losing its original substance and as a mean to construct sonic narratives that do not require visual elements to tell a story to the listener.

(T.U.) Luca Favaro is an Italian musician and composer. Starting as a classical percussionist, he approaches electronic music composition finding his roots in sound design, club music and field recording. As T.U., he has published with False Industries, Hide Productions and World Canvas as well as scoring music for installations, theatre and ballet with a prominent attention for creating sonic narratives through vivid imagery and evolving textures. He currently hosts Desktop Music, a monthly show on Radio Raheem where he explores sound design and generative music with original compositions. As a programmer, he has created various Max for Live devices published by Hide Productions in an ongoing series. With his club-oriented project Capiuz, Favaro explores the experimental and hypnotic sides of dance music and has recently released an EP for Prague’s Unizone.
