INFO/BIO:
Xu(e) draws its fundamental inspiration from taoism, but aims to explore whatever represents a meaningful contradiction. It is a unity of opposites, aside from a thesis/anthitesis/synthesis approach. It is a rational method to deal with the irrational. The duo is formed by long time friends Xu (Nicola Fornasari) + Xue (Andrea Poli). It is a group focusing its activity on audio and, in the early years, visual experimentation. The two have not been seeing each other for some years now and have developed a kind of alchemical, asynchronous remote collaboration as a creative process, where time and space play almost no role.
Xu(e) has been recently exploring the intersection between dark ambient music and jazz, as if it was played decades ago in Shanghai's smoky Bund-side venues.
