Nebulae in the Machine: Daniele Ippolito on Yes’ Sonic Rebirth with 90125

A band doesn’t just change course—it dissolves, reshapes, and breathes anew. In this immersive journey, Daniele Ippolito unspools the magnetic metamorphosis of Yes through ‘90125.’ We drift through shimmering echoes, fractured legacy, and the pulse of new machinery, exploring how a prog rock behemoth slid through the wormhole of pop modernity. This is the tale of risk, reinvention, and the spectral ghosts of sound that haunt every note.

Voltage Labs: When Sound Becomes Liquid—The Emotional Journey of Sampling

Voltage Labs invites us to drift through the shifting fog of sampling, a world where recorded sound becomes as malleable as memory itself. In this poetic meditation on machines and makers, the sampler is not a tool but a vessel—transforming fragments into new sonic landscapes. We are guided through the flicker and grain of Fairlight, Akai, and MPC, where every limit becomes a portal and every imperfection a fingerprint. Here, music is no longer fixed: it is cut, looped, scattered—reborn with every touch.
