Lea Bertucci
Like many people, for most of the pandemic I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with all the DJ live streams that kept accumulating on my tab bar. I think most of us have developed a love-hate relationship with this format and accepted it as a necessary evil that keeps the scene afloat for the time being. But in most cases, the experience of watching a person mixing in his or her own bedroom with some plants and colourful LED lights in the background wasn’t really that rewarding, no matter the selection. At one point, I just gave up and deleted most of the links I’ve been keeping for months, opting for the classic radio show and DJ mix format instead.
Lea Bertucci enlists experimental filmmaker Fern Silva for ‘On Opposite Sides of Sleep’
A highlight from her new album, A Visible Length of Light.
Lea Bertucci documents a year of uncertainty and instability on her new album, A Visible Length of Light, interspersing short improvisational snippets with dense compositions that nod to traditional American musical forms like folk, bluegrass, jazz and gospel. Layering bass clarinet, alto saxophone, manipulated tape, organ, a venu wooden flute and field recordings, Bertucci evokes, in her own words: “the feeling of physically inhabiting a space, when the relationship to that space has become overwhelming, and provokes the desire to seek truth, transcendence, and moments of comfort, disquiet and catharsis through confusion.’
