antitopèia

THE SEA AROUND US

2025

PRE-ORDER NOW AVAILABLE! on bandcamp

Limited edition translucent pink vinyl, digital download.

Composed and recorded between cities and continents, Antitopèia is a sonic landscape of imagined places and poetic dissonance. The album drifts between composition and improvisation, structure and spontaneity, carried by a cinematic undercurrent and a distinctly tactile sound world.

Expanding the duo’s reach, the record features intimate and striking contributions from:

Saadet Türköz, whose voice channels ancestral memory and avant-garde freedom

Magda Drozd, bringing spectral textures and emotional depth with violin and electronics

Gilles Furtwängler, whose spoken word elements echo like messages from distant shores

Together, these artists sculpt a work that resists borders — geographic, musical, or conceptual. Antitopèia is not just an album, but a place that doesn’t exist — and yet, by listening, you go there.

With support from Pro Helvetia – The Swiss Arts Council.

João Orecchia – Bass Clarinet, Synthesiser, Bass
