Music
An emotional theme, repeated until it changes shape.
Composition starts from a simple core and lets it evolve through layers, variations and sonic transformations. What remains is a recognizable trace, but never a fixed one.
S2D01
Beyond the tracks.
S2D01 is the music project of Simone Cappelli.
It works with the unstable shape of sound: composition, sound design, electronic instruments and generative systems.
- Low light
- Slow tension
- Electric memories
- Inner landscapes
Not a genre. A presence.
A sound coming from far away.
S2D01 comes from a long, non-linear musical path: listening, radio, collaborations, studio work, theatre, soundtracks, technology and personal research.
It does not follow a prewritten map. It brings together fragments, deviations and different sound materials, turning them into a recognizable identity.
Sound design
Sound is treated as living matter.
It does not decorate the track. It changes its space, weight, depth and memory.
Research
Nothing is taken for granted.
Every sound can be reopened, shifted, transformed and brought somewhere else.
MOODS
The software born from the more generative side of S2D01.
It turns selected audio materials into continuous, layered and non-repeating sound environments.
A generative sound design engine for macOS, created by S2D01.
MOODS turns selected audio materials into continuous, layered and non-repeating sound environments.
It is not a playlist, not a player and not a jukebox. It is a tool that takes sound beyond the shape of the track.
Where to listen to S2D01.
Tracks, streams, mixes and official channels.
