Once I Died, initially a solo endeavor by Gianluca Rimei, has evolved into a duo with Valerio Pascucci, merging noise, shoegaze, and experimental sounds. Their second album, Will I Die? No., inspired by a psychedelic experience in a hidden forest sanctuary, explores themes of ego dissolution and eternal consciousness through a rich soundscape of heavy distortion and ethereal melodies. Each track presents a ritualistic journey that oscillates between chaos and serenity, capturing the essence of their transformative experience.
What does it mean for music to serve as a vehicle for profound inner exploration, and how might such immersive experiences reshape our understanding of identity and consciousness?
