Plini

The more music you’ve heard and the easier it is to access, the harder it is to be truly surprised and captivated by something that you find completely refreshing. Maybe that comes with getting older. Or perhaps it’s a deflation of your listening experience, given that you can hear almost any imaginable music with just a few clicks. This contrasts with the romanticized version etched in my memory from my youth: spending your hard-earned money only on music that truly moves you and then playing it a million times.When I first heard Plini’s music, I suddenly felt that kick again: I had never heard anything like it. Inventive music, ranging from soothing to hard-hitting, with simply wonderful melodies, amazing rhythmic ideas, and skillful playing. Each new release from the laid-back Australian is a gift.It's not surprising that Plini can evoke such an experience. When making music, he responds to his impulses like a child, he mentioned in the podcast. This approach avoids clichés and well-trodden paths, sometimes turning everything upside down.Plini talks about the role of his parents, his architecture studies, and answers a question from Matteo Mancuso, who wanted to know why his productions sound so good.Plini will be playing on August 17th, a month after the release of this episode at Complexity Fest!
