english:
mou, lips! is Andrea Gabriele and a project born out of his collaboration with Emanuela De Angelis.
They said: "Mou, lips! explores the modes of an organic, cinematic and enviromental electronic sound, in wich the progressions are embedded in apparently rarefied landscapes though wrapped in the sensation of the human presence, of a hovering feeling."
They defined mou, lips! music as electronica "poetich, intimistic, organic, cinematic, enviromental, sometimes malinconic, concrete, thick, melodic, with pop spirit, cracked...." and so on... : )
They said that "The sound lies between concrete music and an elegant electronic, contributing in a proffering an imaginary link wich leads to an environment between Sonig and the Mille Plateaux of Snd, where jim o’rourke more melanchonic and meteoropatic laptop stands out from the background." : ) !!
Anyways... firsts significant approaches to sound with experiences closer to musical "styles" and "genres" (jazz, rock, reggae... with bass, double bass, guitar). Leaving these experiences mou, lips! decided to express sensations with the same youth approach of the origins, emancipated from schemes and styles. manipulation of free infatuating creative flow.

italiano:
mou, lips! è Andrea Gabriele, da un progetto nato con Emanuela De Angelis.
L'espressione sonora cinematizza la forma umana.
Hanno detto: "Mou, lips! esplora le vie di un’elettronica organica, cinematica e ambientale, in cui le progressioni sono affondi in paesaggi apparentemente rarefatti ma avvolti nella sensazione di presenze umane, di un sentimento aleggiante."
Hanno definito la musica di mou, lips! come "elettronica poetica, intimista, organica, cinematica, ambientale, rareffatta, a tratti malinconica, concreta, fine, climatica, melodica, ludica, con un sentimento pop, fluida, sghemba, contemplativa... " etc..etc.. : )
Hanno detto "che tende fila immaginarie che rinviano ad un ambiente fra la Sonig e la Mille Plateaux, sul cui sfondo si staglia il laptop del Jim O’Rourke più malinconico e metereopatico." : ) !
Comunque... Primi significativi approcci alla materia suono avuti in adolescenza con esperienze, più legate ai "generi" e agli "stili" (jazz, pop, reggae.... con basso, contrabasso, chitarra). Distaccandosi da queste esperienze mou,lips! decide di esprimere sensazioni con lo stesso approccio adolescenziale delle origini, emancipato dagli schemi e dagli stili.
manipolazione del seducente libero fluire creativo.
