Matteo Ciminari is a London-based composer, guitarist, keyboardist and player of the theremin, an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact via two metal antennas that sense the relative position of the player’s hands. Ciminari weaves the unusual instrument into a soup of genre-bending music with influences ranging from Thelonious Monk to Frank Zappa to Igor Stravinsky. Recorded remotely during the coronavirus lockdown by musicians in the UK and Italy, “Fried Hippocampus” is inspired by Ciminari’s love of food as well as the limbic system, the set of structures in the brain that deal with emotions and memory, and - in Ciminari’s words - where “all of the archetypes are recorded.”
