Collaboration with Chiara Fumai (1979–2017). Fumai asked me to write and produce a techno track using her voice recording of The Thunder, Perfect Mind, a mysterious poem discovered among the gnostic manuscripts at Nag Hammadi. The poems speaks in the voice of a feminine divine power, but one that unites all opposites and which sees the radiance of the divine in all aspects of human life. Two versions of Perfect Mind exist: one with Fumai’s natural voice, the other – which was published in the I Have What I Gave album for 2MR records, New York – in which Fumai’s recording is digitally processed and multiplied, to the extend of sounding like a synthetic voice of an A.I. singularity.
Chiara also collaborated to the artwork of the album with two original collages and by doing calligraphy. The collages eventually didn’t get used as I didn’t feel they did not fit the album theme, but Chiara’s handwriting we used in the the front and back cover, as well as on the 12″ labels.
info about this collaboration is published in the book Chiara Fumai 2007-2017 Poems I Will Never Release
