Parched Harbours official video by An Moku:

A while after my first release «Against Heatwaves» (shopendtitles.bandcamp.com/album/against-heatwaves) and the first EndTitles.Kitchen.Lab concert in 2018 at Miyuko (www.endtitles.ch/kitchen-lab), I started to wonder how to continue on the path that opened before me musically.
The process did not begin with a specific musical idea. My mind was focused on the concept of creating a soundtrack for abandoned places. I do not recall when this fascination began, but I always found deserted locations a source of ingenious inspiration. Decadent buildings in the middle of a forest or an old hut on top of a mountain, falling apart, being forgotten by humanity and reclaimed by nature. Also blogs like «artificial owl» (www.artificialowl.net) took me on a virtual journey to many such abandoned places all around the globe.
These forsaken locations develop a special aura, depth and feelings, which only come to life as humans leave. The desolation and change found in these places are what amaze and inspire me the most. With these ideas and pictures in mind I started to work on the album during the summer of 2019. I mostly recorded improvised sessions in my studio, which I cut and edited to what are now the finished pieces.
In addition to my baritone guitar I have also used different electronics, a touch that gave my sounds an even more haunted ether.
The chosen tracks were mastered at his Transmutation studio in London by Eraldo Bernocchi.

Instruments: baritone Nude Guitars, Digitakt, Insect N#1

Reviews:
“Tales of Forsakenness is an enjoyable release that gets rather intense in places.” Encyclopedia Of Electronic Music

“Se non sapessi che tutto ciò proviene da territori e menti italo/svizzere avrei senza alcun dubbio ipotizzato quel gelido scenario ambient di derivazione scandinava.” Ho.Gravi.Malattie.

“Gilardini creates mostly a massive drone-scape; a rich sound, going from the lower depths to the high mountain top. […] It is not necessarily a quiet album, as Gilardini plays his stuff with vigour and strength. That is another thing that made me enjoy this quite a bit, the heavy force that came from the music.” Vital Weekly
