Threadbare, Vol. 1Electronic • Chillout • SoundscapesPicture a shoreline where two worlds meet. The sea stretches outward, unmeasured and unknowable. Behind, the city glows—windows, lights, and signs forming layers of symbols that promise depth yet return only reflection.Man grows fluent in these surfaces, until experience feels real only when filtered and flattened through a screen. Curiosity fades, words arrive pre-shaped, and the self thins— mechanically rearranging itself into overlapping layers, lingering in the Dead Spaces between them.Threadbare, Vol. 1 moves along this edge, between sea and city, silence and static. It invites the listener to drift beyond flat images, to hear what breathes beneath the layers, and to recover presence by giving sound a new, unfiltered dimension.
Unearthed from the ragged hills beneath the Alps, this 2016 lo-fi grunge relic bleeds the marvel and unease rooted in our land.Tracked with salvaged gear and raw instinct, it pulses with dissonant rebellion, eroding beauty, and youth slipping just out of reach.It doesn’t sound clean—because it was never supposed to.Two friends - an archaeologist and a musician — sift through the noise of memory, chasing eternity one distorted frame at a time.
Support my work
I make audio works that probably confuse your algorithm but (hopefully) make your ears happy.If you like what I do, you can pick up my album on Bandcamp — the old-school way of showing love, where you actually own the music. Revolutionary, I know… kind of like fair trade for sound.Or, if you’re feeling generous (or allergic to mp3s), you can toss a coin into my digital hat on Ko-fi.One-time donations, monthly support — it all goes straight into building new soundscapes, giving me the tools, time, and space to turn ideas into something worth sharing.Supporting me means helping sketches grow into full pieces, and experiments turn into music we can both enjoy. Think of it like watering a plant: a little support makes the music grow, branch out, and keep coming back in new forms.---Thanks for keeping the journey alive!
BIO
Alberto Sardo is a Berlin-based musician and sound designer.Trained in piano and guitar from an early age, since 2005 he has been active in numerous bands and collaborations while developing his own voice as a singer-songwriter, fingerstyle guitarist, and electronic music producer.Driven by the need to unfold sound into multiple dimensions, his work explores complex rhythmic patterns and overlapping harmonies, merging influences from traditional European music (Irish, Spanish, Italian, Slavic) with various strains of rock (progressive, kraut, punk, post-) and electronic experimentation. His compositions often lean on compound time signatures and layered textures, where instruments interlock to form shifting sonic ecosystems—oscillating between organic and digital, intimate and collective.This tension becomes a kind of balance, mirroring a cyclical vision of time in which the journey is both threshold and return. Guided by the symbolism of the southwest as a direction of perpetual transformation, Sardo creates works where past, present, and future intertwine. Each performance is conceived not merely as a concert but as a sensorial and narrative passage—turning listening into a lived experience.From 2012 to 2019 he travelled extensively across Europe, performing solo in unconventional venues and in public spaces.
In 2016 he co-created Picture a Day for Eternity with the collective Altamarca Archeopunk.Since 2022 he has been active in Berlin’s art scene, contributing to multimedia installations and live events for galleries and interdisciplinary projects, moving fluidly between technical support and creative authorship.His most recent projects merge electronic and acoustic music with video and other media—continuing a practice rooted in experimentation, dialogue, and the search for balance through contrasts.
