Catopter I: Lost Places (2024)

The Catopter project was born in 2021 from the collaboration between Mattia Loris Siboni and Giulio Stermieri, initially brought together through their work in soundtracks and live scoring. Their practice traces a path in which distant yet complementary musical experiences converge, organically combining textures and melodic fragments, abstraction and groove.

Lost Places documents the duo’s first two years, bringing together live and studio fragments devoted to places—real or imagined—that no longer exist.

Mattia Loris Siboni: Electronics

Giulio Stermieri: Rhodes piano
