Italian-born Andrea Belfi is a drummer, composer, and experimental musician based in
Berlin. Over the years Belfi has built a sound world blending the complex timbres of the
acoustic with the endless possibilities of the electronic. Belfi has a strong live reputation
internationally and his performances are known to be energetic and hypnotic, featuring long-arching immersive soundscapes.
He was invited by Thom Yorke to open for his solo show on an international tour in 2019. His last releases Ore and Strata gained Belfi many new fans including tastemakers Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, and Sasha Frere- Jones among others.
Over the last few years, he’s been collaborating and touring with musicians such as Nils Frahm, Mouse on Mars, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Mike Watt, Circuit des Yeux, and David Grubbs.
The new album Eternally Frozen consists of a series of canon based compositions for brass ensemble, percussion and synthesizer by Andrea Belfi.
After many years of sonic explorations with percussion, drums, and electronics, Belfi is here projecting himself as a composer through the direction of an astonishing brass ensemble in the realization of these canonic works. There are evident echoes of the works of Arthur Russell, Miles Davis, Moondog, William Basinski, and the Italian soundtrack tradition of Ennio Morricone and Egisto Macchi.
