- Hey Dave Violenza! Welcome to Sinusoidal and congratulations on the release of your new single “Incessante.” The song feels like a sonic paradox. It’s both meditative and restless. How did you approach creating that emotional tension in a seemingly minimalistic track?
Thanks, I really appreciate that description. “Meditative and restless” is exactly the feeling I was trying to create. The instrumental came together pretty instinctively. It’s simple, pulsing, and from there it became more about holding back than adding more. I used repetition to build tension. That sense of being stuck in a loop, or caught in a thought that won’t go away.
Every layer is doing something small, but nothing fully resolves. I held back a sense of satisfaction on purpose. I wanted the track to feel uneasy, like something is always just out of reach. That relentlessness was part of the emotional core of the song.
- The subtle interplay between male and female voices adds to the trance-like quality. What do those vocal elements represent to you? Are they characters, memories, or moods?
I’d say they’re all of the above. When I started working on the vocals, I recorded and pitched my voice in a few different ways. I wanted it to feel like different versions of myself, almost like they were having a conversation across time. There’s this kind of internal echo, where each voice is slightly off from the others, like a memory that keeps reshaping itself.
Then I asked my mum to record some lines. That changed everything. Her voice brought in something raw and honest. It made the track feel more human, more grounded, and at the same time, kind of haunted. So in the end, the vocals became a mix of inner dialogue, memory, and mood — all woven together like this spectral choir.
- The beats don’t overpower. They draw the listener in with subtlety. Was that sense of restraint a conscious production choice, and how did you manage to strike that balance?
Yeah, that was definitely a conscious choice. I didn’t want the beat to take over or push too hard. I wanted it to sit underneath everything, like a pulse that just keeps going. Something steady, almost indifferent. That tension between movement and stillness felt important.
I spent a lot of time shaping it so the rhythm would feel persistent, using other sounds to keep the tune interesting — from little bits of ear candy to the layered vocals. More like it’s quietly dragging you forward. The beat holds the structure, but the emotional pull comes from what’s wrapped around it.
4. What’s the significance of the title “Incessante”?
The title Incessante means “unceasing” or “relentless” in Italian, and that pretty much sums up the mood of the track. It’s about that feeling of going through the motions but not really arriving anywhere. Like you’re moving, but stuck at the same time.
That came through in the lyric “Siamo persi in una notte senza fine, intrappolati in un silenzio che non si spegne” — we’re lost in an endless night, trapped in a silence that doesn’t fade. That line felt like the emotional centre of the track. Everything else was built around it. The repetition, the tension, the pacing — it’s all meant to reflect that sense of being caught in a loop, both musically and mentally.
- How do you decide when a track like “Incessante” is ‘complete,’ especially when working with subtle transitions and minimalist layers?
For me, a track is never really complete. Especially with something like Incessante, I went over it so many times. Once you’ve recorded something, it’s so easy to keep tweaking, reworking, trying to make it “perfect.” But there’s a point where you realise you’re chasing something that keeps moving.
What I try to do instead is let the track stand as a moment in time. Not flawless, but honest. It captures where I was creatively, emotionally, technically — and that’s enough. The imperfections are part of the story. Releasing it is a way of letting go.
- What’s next for Dave Violenza?
I’m already working on new material, trying out different ideas and directions, and I’m looking forward to sharing more soon. Hopefully continuing to build something that feels personal but still resonates with other people.
Right now, I just want to keep exploring minimal forms with emotional weight. Music that’s precise but still raw. I’m really interested in how sound can tell a story or hold a feeling, even without lyrics. That intersection between structure and emotion is where I’m most curious.
