Ezequiel Pizzani is a Venezuelan artist born in 1994, his proposal is super interesting as it encourages you to explore unconventional sounds and immerses you in an experimental and uplifting world.
Today I invite you to get to know the work of this wonderful artist.
Astrid: Who is behind (e___t___e___r)?
Ezequiel: e___t___e___r is the name of my solo musical project, standard bearer of the fifth element, it is perhaps the way to affirm myself as a follower of mystery, music for me comes from the indeterminate, someone told me that the ether is what comes after eternity, before infinity, which has no end. The ether is the substance that comes from the other world, for others it was the conductor of light in the emptiness of space. “There are other worlds but they are in this one”.
Astrid: How did you come to use sound as a plastic element?
Ezequiel: At first I used my body as a plastic material, within a ritualistic language that tried to consecrate the subjectivity of the senses in intimate experiences. Then perhaps that principle was subtracted from the flesh to be part of something lighter, a corporeal fluid.
Astrid: What is the objective of your artistic work?
Ezequiel: Mlabor has a purifying sense, at this moment of the journey I am more concerned with synthesizing a language in which I feel comfortable to pour out the abstraction, and at the same time be digestible in the musical sense. That it can exist as a phenomenon of the subjective, while simultaneously functioning in the most archetypal musical reasons.
Astrid: How many albums or projects have you completed during your career and which ones are they?
Ezequiel: I have almost 4 years without publishing my work, soon I will upload a compilation of improvisations plus a studio album. On bandcamp you can get it, in my profile you can find several of my early works.
Astrid: Do you work with a crew or independently?
Ezequiel: I have worked with many people, my first project was called “La Danta’, then ‘La Conjura’. I’m always in constant sharing with friends and colleagues.
Astrid: Any important national or international event for you in which you have participated?
Ezequiel: There is a project that is in development that had a very good first impact called ‘Recantus Palinodia’, where I am interested in promoting projects that seek to break with the epistemological statements of music and sound art, something like the constant contradiction as a mechanism of creation, a rhetorical figure that takes to the limit the meaning of things, in my case noise and dance.
Astrid: Any artistic influence?
Ezequiel: Vas deferens Organization, Lorn, Oneotrix point never, Not waving.
Astrid: How do you define your aesthetic and genre?
Ezequiel: Going back to the first questions, I think the words noise and experimental are part of aesthetics, however I think they can very easily adjectivize things that are part of a more complex and difficult to define order. Right now I’m digging into sounds similar to some things from ‘Hard bass’ and ‘Techno’, but it’s still in development.
Astrid: What other professions do you have outside of music creation?
Ezequiel: I would like to delve more into sound engineering, but for the moment I only have music.
Astrid: Would you do this for the rest of your life?
Ezequiel: Life is very long, for the moment my life is defined by music, hopefully it will continue and be fruitful.
Thank you very much to Ezequiel for allowing me to conduct this interview today, for me it is always an honor to learn more about the work of these great artists.
