"Untitled"

from the release Time Machine

Renato Rinaldi studied drama, composition and electronic music. After a number of years working as an actor he began composing music for theatre, radio dramas and video installations. He has produced several radio plays, documentaries and reports for the Italian national broadcasting radio (RAI). In music, his work focuses primarily on the relationship between sound and environment. Composer Giuseppe Ielasi and photographer Armin Linke are his frequent collaborators.

"The Time Machine project was conceived in order to find a simple and immediate way to work with rhythm. I built two cheap and imprecise, almost-square wave oscillators with a wide range of frequencies. These oscillators can sweep and cross-modulate from rare pulse to high audio signals. I use a mixer to create feedback between the filters, CV and audio signals and simply record the output; there are no overdubs‚ just pulses chasing each other."
- Renato Rinaldi
