Si Fa No Fa: Sportello

For this third episode, I was inspired by the title of a song from Radiohead called "How to Disappear Completely" and by the mysterious figure of February Montaine, an artist who vanished sometime in the mid-90s and was rediscovered not so long ago. That led me to the idea of making a show full of musical “instructions” — not literal ones, but emotional cues, moods, sensations — on how to disappear completely.

The tracks I’ve picked don’t explain anything; they're just suggestions. They float around, they fade, they hide in the corners of the mix. Some feel like they’re being played in the next room, or from a half-remembered dream.

It drifts from the cosmic haze of Black Sabbath to the soft pulse of Arthur Russell, from the humid melancholy of Pablo’s Eye, the experimental yacht rock [ yup, it is a thing ] of Spike to the strange glow of ML Buch and Geoffrey Landers.

This is a show for dissolving. For vanishing in plain sight: Instructions on how to disappear completely.
