Gigi Masin

The Profile

Italian ambient composer and musician from Venice, active since the early 1980s; known for the album Wind (1986) and the retrospective Talk To The Sea (2014).

Venetian ambient/minimal artist linked with Sub Rosa and later rediscovered via Talk To The Sea. The DeBaser review highlights Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Vol. 2 and discusses a sampling-credit path involving To Rococo Rot and Björk. ‘Moltitudine in labirinto’ pairs Masin with poet Giuseppe Caprioli, emphasizing sparse, repeating, rarefied textures.

One review connects Gigi Masin’s minimal, ambient aesthetics to Eno and Satie, praising his rarefied textures. It recalls the elusive Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Vol. 2 and notes a sampling-credit trail involving To Rococo Rot and Björk. The spotlight is on Moltitudine in labirinto (with Giuseppe Caprioli), with favorites Aften, Coral, and Vertical. The reviewer wishes Masin would push further to reinvent ambient.
