MDF stands for MidiD'unFaune, the electronic music composition and performance project of Daniele De Santis. An eclectic drummer and percussionist active in several bands playing improvisation and avant-jazz (solderwire, SAT ASAT, Accademia del Danno, Brassmati Awrkestra), De Santis collaborated within varied musical contexts: including, numerous appearances in the World Youth Chamber Orchestra, historical percussion group IPERTRIO (Francesco Lo Cascio, Mario Paliano, Pasquale Augello) and the duo work with the extraordinary voice of Leila Adu.
Thanks to an in-depth continuing research on timbre, the production contents of MDF extend from multi-timbral magmas, drones and constantly changing sound ambiences to complex harmonic and polyrhythmic systems. This diversity allows the project to take place in performative research contexts as well on the dancefloor, using an heterogeneous language that naturally combines isolationist tendencies with abstract hip hop and IDM forms.
HORVS, the first MDF album released in April 2010 by Farmacia901, summarises the most experimental aspects of the project. The music is a progressive transfiguration of ultra-material sounds in ethereal abstractions. Moreover, the HORVS package is presented with an innovative graphic approach that is perfectly fused with the musical contents in a dense symbolic plan (www.mdfhorus.com).
In November 2011 a new album will be released by Minus Habens Records which will present a series of new MDF tracks mostly oriented to abstract beats. Show less
