Not Me But Us

When two very different musicians meet it’s always possible that something magical can happen. This is very much the case with Bruno Bavota (the pianist and composer who records for Temporary Residence and Believe) and Fabrizio Somma (a producer and composer known by the moniker K-Conjog) and their new collaboration, Not Me But Us.

Both born under Vesuvius, the two musicians met on the island of Procida, creating a common song as part of the Capital of Culture events in 2022. The interaction was so natural and playful that it quickly evolved into something much more serious and complex that led the two to work together in the studio for several months.

The result is an album simply titled Two, which will be released by the acclaimed British shoegaze and experimental indie label Sonic Cathedral in 2024. It is a compendium of Bruno and Fabrizio’s influences with echoes of ambient, techno, 2000s club culture, post-classical and vague hints of post-rock.
