DESCRIPTION: ‘Four Steps on Points’ by Matteo Uggeri is a paean to mobility, by way of diverted honeymoon. After a painful recovery from a spinal hernia on the eve of his wedding, Uggeri collected field recordings in Italy, string samples from Franz Krostopovic and reworked tracks from other recordings to assemble the EP. Commissioned specially for Fluid Audio, the multilayered spaces of ‘Four Steps on Points’ are gracious thanks to Uggeri’s collaborators; medical, musical and personal.

All tagged/numbered REVIEWS, COMMENTS and more: Igloo Mag... "Nella concisione dei suoi poco più di venti minuti, “Four Steps On Points” offre numerose sfaccettature dell’accuratezza impressionistica del compositore milanese, artista dotato di rara capacità di restituire la preziosa fragilità di un momento, di una combinazione di luce e di suono, accentuandone i contenuti suggestivi ed emozionali. " MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU (Raffaello Russo) "An absolute must and a profound lesson of musical intimacy." IGLOO MAG (Philippe Blache)
