Exclusive video premiere of ‘L’Inconscio’ by Petrolio, taken from the new album, ‘La Disobbedienza’, out October 28th 2022 via ShyRec.

‘La Disobbedienza’ was born from the need to translate these landscapes into constructed and meditated tracks, adding noises and perceptions captured in the two evenings in which Petrolio participated live with his own music.

Petrolio is a project with strong cinematographic connotations. In 2020 he created a series of sound environments for the theatrical performance ‘L’Architettura della Disobbedienza,’ a project conceived by Francesco Fassone, presented at various Italian festivals with an intense performance in September at AstiTeatro21. This record was born from the need to translate these landscapes into constructed and meditated tracks, adding noises and perceptions captured in the two evenings in which Petrolio participated live with his own music.

It’s a solo project started in 2015 by Enrico Cerrato. Over the past few years the artist released a number of singles, EPs and albums, touring all across Europe and sharing the stage with the likes of Lingua Ignota, Of the Wand & the Moon, Winterkälte, Uochi Toki, Bologna Violenta, Mai Mai Mai and Pankow to name but a few. By 2018 the Piedmont-based artist already had a number of high-profile collaborations under his belt with the likes of Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten), Aidan Baker (Nadja), as well as many well-known artists from the Italian noise/industrial/experimental scene such as Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Almagest!, Blind Cave Salamander, Coypu, Larsen, XXL), Sigillum S, Stefania Pedretti (OvO, ?Alos) and Mai Mai Mai.

He also curated a number of compositions designed for contemporary theatre shows such as Angela Teodorowsky’s ‘Intramoenia’ and a new interactive show called ‘L’Architettura della Disobbedienza’ performed live in 2021 into some important theater festivals. The artist worked for the movies as well by creating the soundtracks of ‘The Tale Of The Idiot’ by Seth Morley and ‘Film Fantasma’ (Episodio 5: ‘Respira’) by Gabriele Di Benedetto “Akab” produced by Carboluce. He played about 140 gigs in Italy and Europe.
