In the shadowed corners of experimental sound, Mortòri emerges as Aris Bassetti’s audacious manifesto.

This solo project is as much about challenging language as it is about exposing love’s darker side. Born in 2023, it arose from a raw need to confront and purge the uncomfortable emotions that accompany romance, all delivered in the rugged authenticity of the Ticino dialect.

By harnessing his native tongue, Bassetti not only creates music but also revives a dying language. He infuses it with a global avant-garde spirit that defies convention. Mortòri’s sound fuses diverse influences, weaving together local tradition and contemporary experimentation to forge a narrative that is both intimate and insurgent.

The release of the EP ‘A Mort l’Amur’ on Valentine’s Day is deliberate. Mortòri makes a bold declaration of war against the sanitized myth of love. Across four unflinching tracks, Bassetti dissects fragile illusions and hollow promises, laying bare the raw vulnerability at its core. In doing so, he invites us to question everything we assume we know about love, setting the stage for a transformative reckoning.
