Michele Ducci has today premiered his new video and track titled ‘Even Before’ from his upcoming album ‘NUBA Live Tape’ dropping January 24th via Monotreme Records.
A somewhat sweet taster for what is to come with the new album, ‘Even Before’ adds a bit of electro-beat and beautifully captivating rhythm with stellar vocals done in an almost acapella way.
While ‘Even Before’ is a slow burn of a track, almost creeping up behind you at times, there is a simmer about the track that keeps you interested and curious about the artist behind the music.
‘Even Before’ adds a bit of clarity and appreciation to an already original artist, widening the space of creativity and closing the range of originality with an outside-of-the-box presentation of visual married to a sonic soundscape that tells a story and lets you become a part of it.

About ‘Even Before’
The track then slows into a dreamy waltz for the outro. Letizia Mandolesi’s bright backing vocals in the chorus and delicate sighs in the outro beautifully accentuate Ducci’s warm melodic vocals. Accompanying the single is a cosmic animated video created by Ducci and Mandolesi.
About the song, Ducci says, “Even Before was born in scenes, as a movie. I had found a ten euro Bontempi keyboard and I let it do almost everything, playing it all live together with Letizia.
I have been reflecting for a long time on the absolute of change: it gives itself as an inverted perspective. It’s like a chorus in a song: coexistence of past and present, of a past that insists on a present that coexists with it and that, passing by, is the intrusion of an unpredictable novelty. You always find yourself in the middle of an act that was already in action before it was done and that, being fulfilled, becomes something that is no longer possible but fatally real. Deja: Jamais: Encore. It is an eternal return that is like a magical infinitesimal calculation, lived in the depths of what I call myself. It is the experience, the passage, that resonates in its immediate data like a chorus: an ocean of sive, of ‘that is’, that are the foundation of every ‘where’ and every ‘when’, as in the passages between verse and chorus: an incessant translation into, which is a crossing, not an impasse, but an impassage: an even before to which we must go back to probe the experience in its immediate data. It is an experience of variation that is done at the limit, near infinity.
Letizia and I drew the video by hand and it is a sort of twin of the song: a cosmic paraeidolia…the experience that makes itself felt in the foreground like a procession of faces still in the making: a chorus. The song as a sort of paramnestic paraeidolia of creative evolution. All of my work is all about that.”
