In 2008, Erra signed with Kscope and released a string of albums under the Nosound banner before recording the first album under his own name, \u003cem\u003eEnds I-VII\u003c\/em\u003e, in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe now returns with a new album \u003cem\u003eDeparture Tapes\u003c\/em\u003e, reflecting what has been a difficult year with the loss of his father to cancer. In Giancarlo's own words, \"The end result is the most experimental (and darkest at times) material I ever wrote, without compromise or set plan. It contains all the elements of my music in a very unconscious free flow way. It's the first album I wrote without knowing I was writing it, intrinsically linked to one of the hardest and yet more healing parts of my life.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeparture Tapes\u003c\/em\u003e is an album of contemplative recordings, written while traveling between the UK and Italy. The majority of these tracks have been recorded live by Erra, so for the most part they are totally unique and hold a sincerity which cannot be replicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Richter\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eOlafur Arnalds\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNils Frahm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the more electronic\/ambient recordings of \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Eno\u003c\/strong\u003e may offer a reference point by which to enter Erra's world, but the depth within these recordings is truly original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kscope","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50474990764363,"sku":"1125226","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474991354187,"sku":"1125227","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/542f8866-82c0-4bbd-9631-8fdd6e0d2610_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727440940","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/departure-tapes","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
