about

Produced by SynGate Records, "Physis" is an emotional trip inside one of the most historical place in Ancona (Italy) where during the 18th century it was used as medical center for plague and leprosy patients. Now the place called "Mole Vanvitelliana" is used as cultural center. Perceptual Defence played live in this place in september 2012 and his purpose in this album is to reproduce the ambivalent feeling of this place full of historical pain but also great creativity.
In September 2012 I was invited by my friend Carlo Faticoni at his Electronic Music Festival called "Sguardi Sonori" in one of the most incredible and historical Place in Italy called The Mole Of Luigi Vanvitelli in Ancona.
This Historical place was built by the great Architect Luigi Vanvitelli in 1733 and it stands on an artificial pentagonal island located within the port.
Originally, the Lazaretto was a multi-purpose building: hospital public health, fortification to defend the port, storage of goods, protection of the harbor by the waves. Only in 1990, the Mole has become the property of the municipality that has made it the hub of the city with regard to art and culture in general.

I was extremely fascinated by health function of this place since during the 18th century it was utilized as public health hosting deposits and accommodations for up to two thousand people and goods in quarantine, which arrived at the port from areas considered unsafe. The health function was guaranteed by the displacement of housing in the factory interior.

I had the Opportunity to performing live inside the factory interior where, during the 18th century, many people died for leber and plague and this gave me the Chance to feel that place. So I tried to reproduce the ambivalent Feeling of this place full of Pain but also Creativity. This is why I called this record Physis, word that belongs to the greek root phyo, "son", "grow". The term physis thus indicates the totality of things that exist that are born, they live, they die. Physis, in this sense, is the world of life on our Earth, which is offered to our gaze, the object of our everyday experience, and of which we are part.

Composed, recorded, arranged and performed by Perceptual Defence
at Musart Studio Rome (Italy) from September to December 2012.

Track Two recorded live at the Mole of Vanvitelli in Ancona (Italy),
the 29th September 2012 at the Sguardi Sonori Electronic Sound &
