A hybrid electronic project where cinematic storytelling and sound are inextricably linked
Founder, composer, and producer of the project, Francesco Virgilio shapes an electronic music that is open to organic instruments. His creations are an invitation to travel, exploring surreal soundscapes while remaining anchored in the intimacy of emotions. Freed from any dogma, he combines the use of familiar instruments and the experimentation of more radical textures.
A sound laboratory without borders
His universe merges an electronic foundation with rock, pop, and industrial roots, while embracing jazz, soul, and various global influences. This curiosity turns each track into a canvas where the colors of his imagination unfold. As a sonic director, Francesco orchestrates the script, rhythm, and atmosphere of his works to create singular experiences.
The art of collaboration and image
Depending on the project, Francesco invites musicians, writers, and performers to enrich the mokroïé universe with their own unique personalities. This openness extends to artists from diverse backgrounds, as seen in his collaboration with the multi-award-winning photojournalist Sergey Ponomarev.
Images hold a central place in Francesco’s creative process; he designed all the visuals and music videos for this new EP. This aesthetic dimension is inseparable from his music, heightening the listener’s sensory experience. When collaborating on video, he tailors his involvement to each project: from providing a simple spark via keywords to delivering a full script with a precise shot-by-shot breakdown.
