What truly makes life special are experiences—those unforgettable moments of joy with a touch of madness, surprise, excitement, deep emotion, pure pleasure, and fun. This is Gelinaz.
Now, imagine bringing together two of life’s greatest joys: music and food. The result? An experience you simply can’t miss.
If you’re in Milan on March 31st or April 1st, make sure to secure your spot at the Motelombroso Gelinaz event. Here’s a sneak peek from the Motelombroso team on what’s in store:
“Our interpretation of GELINAZ! NAH BGM NOW is to reverse the usual importance and roles assigned to the culinary experience and music within restaurants: the concert will be the main event! The food will follow the rhythm of the soundscapes created by the artist.
From being just an accompaniment or, more often, merely background noise, music will take center stage, while food will serve as the accompaniment.”
And music?
Mana is Daniele Mana’s latest project which recently found its home in the legendary London-based Hyperdub,
His works are featured by unpredictable evolutions and an unique taste for melodies. He writes and produces for theatre, film and advertising, alongside his artistic projects as Vaghe Stelle, One Circle, an ensemble formed by Mana, Lorenzo Senni and Francesco Fantini, and his latest project Mana, who recently debuted with an album on the iconic Hyperdub.

After his 2017 debut EP for Hyperdub, ‘Creature’, which was a taut, evocative suite of beatless, almost neo-classical electronics, his subsequent two albums, find his music has caught an alien virus and started hallucinating.
‘Seven Steps Behind’ sounds like musical world-building rather than straightforward song writing. Here the borders between reality and the weird have collapsed on each other, and with each listen through its zigzagging course, you’re rewarded by its strange twists and turns.
His music is electronic, but it doesn’t always sound electronic; a great deal of his sound has been created to sound like prepared pianos, harpsichords, cellos, and flutes. At other times, sampled acoustic instruments and specially recorded sessions have been processed through software and careful editing. It’s this sophisticated layering of contrasting versions of the same sources that help give this record its uncanny balance. The album also plays with your sense of time in its mostly drum-free hall of mirrors, pulling from minimalism, chamber music, dark jazz, and synthesiser experiments. Warm, and rich with earthy detail, defined by complex use of space and contrast, there is a depth of focus and detail to his tracks and Mana leaves the imagination of the listener to indulge in most of the time.
