New on Umor Rex — Very excited to announce “Solo suono”, the first collaboration between Italian musicians Filippo Ansaldi (saxophone) and Simone Sims Longo (electronics). [Catalog UR160] Now available for pre-order on cassette and digital via
@anostanost and our Bandcamp. Release date: January 6, though it’s very likely we’ll ship earlier.
Meanwhile, listen to the first track “Dodici” on Bandcamp and all digital platforms.
“Solo suono” is an album that moves between acoustic gesture and electronic treatment, rooted in the classical but expanding beyond it. Through breath, amplified mechanics, residual sounds, loops, electronic processes, jazz inflections, and concrete explorations, it blurs the line between organic and synthetic, focusing on subtle timbral shifts and evolving patterns.
Fragile and immersive, the music creates a space where performance and electronic manipulation coexist. Solo Suono is a phrase open to multiple interpretations, a simple and naïve description of music.

![Really happy that Solo Suono, the record I crafted with @filippo.ansaldi and released by Umor Rex [ @dnks_mx ], has been included in “The Best Experimental Music on @bandcamp January 2026.”Thank you to @marcissist for the selection and for these words:“The first recorded meeting between Italian musicians Filippo Ansaldi and Simone Sims Longo roars out of the gate with opening track ‘Dodici,’ as Ansaldi’s saxophone runs note cycles and Longo’s electronics manipulate those sounds, creating something not far from the mesmerizing repetitions of Philip Glass’s Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack. The next seven tracks on Solo Suono explore lots of moods, but that pulsing quality persists. Rhythm is the focus, despite the fact that there are no explicit beats on the album; everything swings, sways, and pounds based strictly on the energy of the duo’s loops. It’s music made of sharp hooks, and my favorite comes in closer ‘Illusione,’ a banger of key clicks and note flips that hits ecstatic heights.”#umorrex](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6766606865275813485562_0_766dd531020f8a525d7e2641d9784f16.jpg?o=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&h=820d93caa39237c0498ce07a188362c6)
![Out now on Umor Rex: “Solo suono”, the first collaboration between Italian musicians Filippo Ansaldi and Simone Sims Longo. [Catalog UR160] Available on cassette through Bandcamp and @anostanost shipping from Berlin / mailorder & record stores around, and across all digital and streaming platforms.“Solo Suono” unfolds at the intersection of acoustic action and electronic transformation. Grounded in classical practice yet reaching beyond it, the album navigates breath, amplified mechanisms, residual textures, looping structures, electronic processing, traces of jazz, and concrete sound. The result is a fluid dialogue between the organic and the synthetic, shaped by subtle timbral variations and slowly shifting forms.Sax by @filippo_ansaldi Electronics by @simonesimslongo Mastering by Anton Jechiel Kossjanenko: Artwork by Daniel Castrejón#umorrex](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6735583626405249485673_0_8c7b6d5dd97a887da8265d6b47fbb11c.jpg?o=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&h=acdb74d38fa3a3c5ba3da8688cefe7c4)
