Lorenzo Senni has announced a new album. Scacco Matto marks the Italian producer’s first full-length release on Warp. It arrives April 24. Listen to the new song “Discipline of Enthusiasm” below.
“The title means ‘check mate’ in Italian,” Senni said in a press release. “There’s a constant ‘opponent’ within the tracks—like I was playing a chess game with myself. I was really trying to bring the music to a certain place and then switch advantageously to another approach. I wanted to see how far I could push the ideas I’ve been developing since ‘Quantum Jelly’ and in order to do that, I needed to force self-imposed limits and rules.”
The artwork for Scacco Matto was created by American photographer John Divola. Senni said, “To me, the touching rich and vibrant sunset framed by the vandalized wall in Divola’s Zuma #30 photograph, limits the epicness of the view and brings you back to reality. It perfectly aligns with my intentions to create emotionally charged music, restricted but guided by a more conceptual context, and the need for these two elements to coexist in the same piece.”
