ELEM saw the light in 2012, during an electronic music improvisation
night, held in a special place called "L'Asilo" - Arts and Culture
Production Centre in Naples, Italy.
L'Asilo is a self-managed place, in which new languages are sought
everyday, as well as new social, political and art forms. Not by chance
ELEM was born in such a place, in which the experimentation and the
intersection of languages are a daily routine.
Indeed, the project has immediately taken a strong inclination to
improvisation with the desire to create an experimental relationship
between audio and video media, in which different languages are
mixed up so as to create a different, more articulated sense that can
go beyond music.
The first album by ELEM, released by Elastica Records in 2015,
confirms the visionary direction of the band, with a pioneering work in
the electronic music scene in terms of audio/video placing the project
among the most avant-garde bands of the scene of the last years.
With the release of 2015 it is immediately clear that ELEM, with its
expressive freedom and unpredictability, represents more than a free
and multi-faceted alternative to the trends of electronic majors,
increasingly gagged in trends, genres and labelling.
As regards ELEM’s live sets, magmatic and dark vibrations mix up
with a visionary and sophisticated visual performance, generating a
unique live experience.
The project born under the volcano preserves the sharpness and the
thrill of the land where it was born; just like a good wine, it can take
the best from a place like Naples, which has always been an historical
crossroad of people, sounds, bright colours, contamination, as porous
as tuff. A city with a thousand souls, a land with great passions and a
visceral dark side that reflects itself in the nature of its people and in
their way to conceive life.
ELEM is a project that can not only make you dance but can also
bring you on a roller-coaster where the insistent beat and the hypnotic
images follow one another in a total freedom of creativity, without
smugness, but with the will to explore without limits or trends, new art
languages and sounds.
