zur Performance

Spire's music sits somewhere between a floating lucid dream and a long walk on the dark side of a big city. Being a self-taught guitar player and multi-instrumentalist, with a long carrier as singer-songwriter in post-rock experimental bands (including Franklin Delano, Blake/e/e/e and Boxeur The Coeur), helped Paolo Iocca develop and shape his unique approach to producing. He dropped the traditional instruments and started working with computer and just a few hardware pieces, building the tracks around vocal and music samples and a couple of synths. Spire moves with subtlety through euphoric escapes and arpeggios, moody and oblique melodies, dark dub infected grooves, and sudden breaks of light. A dense and layered body of work filled with complex textures and dramatic changes of scenario, revealing itself more with each listen.
