Influenced as much by Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza as singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, the Italian composer Marta De Pascalis’s loop practice centres around “incorporating free playing into steady, repetitive patterns”. Recorded in Rotterdam's WORM studios and Berlin, Sonus Ruinae is a continuation of her experiments with tape loops and analogue synthesis. It's her first release on Rabih Beaini's label Morphine.

Terraforma's Threes will present a performance by De Pascalis and Filippo Vogliazzo at Piazza S. Sebastiano, Ferla, Sicily on 13 September.

Sonus Ruinae is reviewed in The Wire 440. It’s available from 7 September
