Overview

The memory of our childhood years, of holidays at the seaside, accompanied by the nasal sound of a megaphone that spread across the beach, our grandfather listening to football matches from a croaking transistor pocket radio while the noise from our aunt's record player made it difficult for the music to be perceived. The hours spent by the sea shore listening to the Walkman with its meows and rewinding the tape with a pen to save the batteries. The memory of the past takes us back to those fantastic years where everything was more complicated, but life offered unique emotions. Listening again to those characteristic sounds of analog media and transmissions today triggers a unique sensation: the Malinconia.

Features

Malinconia analog Lo-Fi machine was designed to relive in the modern era sensations that only people who lived in the past felt. The controls were designed to emulate characteristics and imperfections of all analog recording and signal amplification techniques permitted by the technology of the time. On the one hand, the mechanical limitations created hiss and periodic/random modulations while on the other the cheap electronic designs did not allow high fidelity recording and reproduction. Other colors were introduced for physical supports and speakers with limited response and power. A guitar, a synthesizer, a modern recording: connect any source and it's immediately Melancholy!
