Arteforma is a musical project devoted to exploring deep and introspective sonic landscapes, blending bright and dark nuances, intertwined melodies, and emotional storytelling. For Arteforma, music production is not only an artistic vocation, but a passion cultivated since 2009: a vital balance between inspiration and personal well being, and an ethereal expression of his inner self. With a dynamic and resilient approach, he continuously experiments with new sound textures, modulations, and production setups, crafting ambient and rhythmically rich experiences that connect deeply with the listener. After years of performing under different aliases, a new artistic path emerged in 2020 under the name Arteforma. His works, released on various labels, carry a distinctive and recognizable sonic identity built on refined aesthetics and compositional sensitivity. Over the years, Arteforma has performed in numerous clubs in Italy and abroad, both under this project and previous aliases including Juice, Fluid, and This is Not in Italy; Pratersauna and Sass in Vienna, La Terrrazza in Barcelona, Minimal Bar in Berlin, and Das Viertel in Basel. His new EP Cosmico, released on Traum, is a journey inspired by the profound connection between space, nature, and electronic music. The three tracks Cosmico, Jupiter, and Orion explore celestial atmospheres and organic rhythms, weaving a sonic narrative that blends cosmic exploration with earthly grounding. Each piece is a fragment of a sensory voyage, inviting the listener to get lost in an emotional and contemplative universe. The title track Cosmico is an anthem to the infinite, a deep, hypnotic journey that gradually opens into vast, weightless atmospheres. It evokes the feeling of drifting beyond the physical, where sound becomes a vessel for introspection and exploration. As the title track, it encapsulates the essence of the EP: cosmic travel grounded in emotional depth. Inspired by the majestic constellation, Orion pulses with forward motion and celestial energy. Bright melodic fragments float over a steady rhythmic backbone, painting a night sky full of direction and mystery. Its a track that invites movement, both outward and inward. Jupiter brings a sense of gravitational pull and expansive sound. Its deep, layered textures and slow-burning energy mirror the massive presence of the planet its named after. Equal parts powerful and contemplative, the track captures the duality of space: overwhelming scale and serene beauty. Stripped of rhythm, the ambient mix of Cosmico drifts freely in an atmosphere of stillness and wonder. It feels like observing Earth from orbit, quiet, suspended, infinite. A meditative version that invites deep listening and total surrender.
