Co-Pilot is Giovanni "Giangi" Natalini
Co-pilot is the new solo project by MajaKovich's ex drummer, Giovanni "Giangi" Natalini. After his first work (DIY EP) released on Belgian Wémè Records, he landed at Simona Faraone's label, New Interplanetary Melodies, which for this occasion released its first tape: Botanical Illustration Takes Patience and Skill.
This limited edition concept Ep is composed of 3 tracks entirely produced and played by Giangi and united by an ecological message supporting the gentle and ancient botanical art (each tape comes out with a jute bag containing seeds to plant!). The title track (A1) it's an 8 minute suite which perfectly combines powerful live drum breaks with vocal samples and synths able to carry the listener until the top of unexplored exotic mountains.
The B side opens with Himawari (B1) an ecstatic track sounds like a desert session on Fuji mountain for a pure musical mysticism result. On the end Mother Love Nature (B2) leads us to a more familiar territory related to the brand new experimental British trip hop.
Botanical Illustration Takes Patience and Skill is a compact and solid work that highlights not only Giovanni Natalini’ technical drum skills but also an on point producer able to combine sound research between organic and electronic music.
