ARTIST(S): Marco Shuttle
TITLE: SYSTHEMA
LABEL: Spazio Disponibile
CAT n°: Spazio LP001
FORMAT: 2 x 12″ // Digital download
RELEASE DATE: May 9, 2017
Having already released one outstanding album in 2014 Visione on his imprint Eerie, Marco Shuttle is ready to unleash a new full-length that testifies to his diverse talents as a producer. For his new outing, Systhema, he has teamed up with the Spazio Disponibile label of Donato Dozzy and Neel. The artwork has been created by the talented NY based artist/illustrator Neilsecluded which features a portrait of Marco himself and a sort of abstract, snake-like design in the gatefold, somehow reminiscent of the Middle Eastern flavour that the album sometimes subliminally exudes.
Like Visione, Systhema is an album painted mainly with dark hues and with a masterful use of negative space – but it’s a darkness that provides the ideal projection surface for the kind of mental imagery that listeners might not know they had within them. Fans of Marco’s impressive back catalog of singles (e.g. “Sing Like A Bird” or tye more recent “Flauto Synthetico”) will find much of the same drive and esoteric energy here, but with that something extra which can only come with an extended amount of listening time.
