Mushy biography
Mushy is a solo experimental electronic project based in Rome. Among the head figures of the industrial music scene renewal, Valentina F uses the medium of musical expression in order to produce soundscapes which open the door to strangely nigthmarish illuminations. The sound architecture is a mixture of loops, burgeoning analog drones, tempestuous noises, spectral chants which rise at the surface. The recordings sessions started back in 2003 with the release of the first opus Analitica Dell'Imaginazione (published on Cold Current Prod). With dexterity, this first essay musically translates the deep and resonating obsessions of the divided, atomised ego. The following years will be fruitful in term of creation and involvement into various projects. We can notice involvement in various compilations, a catchy duo with Peter M for the album Fando Y Lis (Mannequin, 2008), a handful of multimedia performances and interactive sound exhibitions in different clubs of Rome (we can remember the performance at Coetus and Spasticalia Festival, 2007). In 2009, the signature for the label FinalMusik will mark a decisive turn with the publication of several unreleased materials gathered for the album Superfetazione (FinalMusik, 2009) and an appearance for the compilation Program Vol.1 (FinalMusik, 2009). Considered as the last Mushy's solo effort to date, Superfetazione confirms the musical path taken by Analitica Dell'Imaginazione but improves on the territories of an organic music which admits an agency of cinematic effects, impulsive vocals, convoluted improvs, dissident
bruitist assaults, fluxuous sound waves.

Mushy's musical adventure might appeal to fans of early "kosmische" synth wizards, cinematic ambient soundscapes, synth-pop futurism and post-nuclear industrial noises.

Mushy Progressive Electronic

Review by colorofmoney91

4 stars Superfetazione is one of those electro-acoustic albums that seems haunted at its core, and it isn't a bad thing. This music is primarily dark, epic, abstract drones that work as a canvas for eerie field recordings. I've always loved field recording-based music because it gives the music a very earthy and organic feel - something to connect with on a slightly more comfortable level which allows the mind to really interact with the sounds. Mushy's music tends to be very black-and-white in sound due to its bleak abstractness, almost sounding like a soundtrack to some of the darkest film noir. A mental painting that I experience while listening to Superfetazione is that of an abandoned mental hospital, because some of the music does take on a ghostly schizophrenic kind of emotional stance. Something I particularly like about this album is how full the sound is, which is something that is surprisingly lacking on most electro-acoustic type albums. Recommended for fans of Peter M., Lustmord, Matteo Uggeri, and Lydhode.

— First review of this album —
5 stars After two albums and a handful of punctual collaborations with others, Mushy is back with an exquisite collection of sensual droning pieces, shimmering cinematic soundscapes. In Faded Heart, Mushy demonstrates a great ability to renew her style without neglecting her original musical signature. Mushy's disparate interests for dark romance, the subliminal self and narcotic quiteness are geniously expressed in this idiosyncrasic musical dialogue between enchanting voices, minimal pastoralism and surreal astral synth moves. The opening theme directly announces the color and mood with a distinctive, intuitive stylistic register. It delivers a majestic tripped out cosmic dronescape sustained by ritualistic electro patterns and warmly languorous chants.The ensemble is cohesive with pieces which seem to flow in a night-like grace and sweetness. Probably the most emotionally orientated effort to date from the artist, continously intimate, sinuous and delicately psychedelic. Faded Heart is slightly dis-connected to the post-nuclear industrial music charisma of previous efforts in order to let the place to fundamental isolated mindscapes, expressing the vicissitude of shades and enlightenment. To say the least, this one contains more psych-prog elements than the two first (deeply rooted into experimental synthesized industrialism). A convincing musical « transporter », an harmonic call to climb eternity...highly recommended for those who are into the most lyrical vein of the 70s italian electronic avant-gardists and those who dream on the allegorical flicks of Bartas, Parajanov...

Fando Y Lis (Peter M. vs Mushy)
Mushy Progressive Electronic

Review by philippe
Special Collaborator Content Development & Krautrock Team

— First review of this album —
4 stars This one is a collaborative work between the two italian artists Mushy and Alessandro Adriani (aka Peter M.) Next to various live peformances / exhibition / cinematic sonorization for trash film art, the duet get the idea to publish an entire effort based on the seminal and mystical movie "Fando and Lis" (released by the legendary A. Jodorowsky). The two sound performers intentionnaly focused their soundscapes on unusual / paralogical moods and atmospheres. The result reveals highly hypnagogic vibes sustained by a delicate study on metabolical sound waves, echoing voices. The release starts with the amazingly sonic and schyzoid "acte I", based on immersive hypno loops, molecular noises and magnetic voices. Acte II develops a menacing-toxic industrial ambience within cloudy frequences, resonant metallic pulses and somnambulic effects. acte III delivers a cinematically charged ambience, featuring delicate floating synth textures, sensual echoing voices in the distance. Deep, dense and obsessional. Hard to classify this album but the hauntingly isolationist / gloomy ambience and the catchy phrases of repetitive motives are not so far from the "confusing" industrial avant gardism of Throbbing Gristle or Alvars Orkester with the exception that this effort features much more emphasise on emotive sequences and lo-fi keys. An important contribution into the genre and above all a crepuscular-contemplative dome. A limited edition within a luxurious artisanal packaging.

Review by philippe

4 stars Superfetazione is the second solo release from Roma based artist Mushy. This last opus (next to various collaborations with Peter M and for compilations) carries on the musical path opened in her previous efforts. Consequently Superfetazione features Theatrical-isolationist- cinematic soundscapes for haunted voices, field recordings and electro loops. In this long blackened ambient escaping, Mushy explores the dynamic-plastic possibilities of neurotic- echoing hall of sounds. The first track opens the album with a blasting industrial noise symphony. With the exception of the infernal "heinz Cibulka" and the atonal "per un'ultima volta", the rest of the album offers a wide range of cinematic ambiences, featuring serious buzzing meditative waves (in the magnificant "Dietro l'innocenza"), spooky electro oscillations (in the claustraophobic "ultimate ratio"), entrancing like atmospheres (in the mystical static "ansiarmonia"). The album closes the musical voyage with a tranquil microtonal dronescape ("my dear") To sum up things, Superfetazione is a pretty relevant mix of moods and timbral atmospheres. Way recommended and essential for those who are into frenzy doomdrones (Stephen Parsick..) and death industrialism (Atrax Morgue...).
