Track List
Drawing from field recordings collected during a trip to Japan, boring tables saturates sonic vignettes in sentimental key, replaying familiar traces of lived experience into something more abstract. The seven tracks on mathematical model 0010, Luca Quartarone's debut album, trail through evolving tonal expanses that envelop the environment in a perpetually expanding haze of serenity. Though sonic fragments hail from the everyday, the compositions themselves inevitably glide towards something much larger—just like a passing instant can extend into an ongoing remembrance.
The title of the album is inspired by a piece of land art by Hiroshi Sugimoto, which Luca encountered during a visit to the Enoura Observatory at the Odawara Art Foundation. The work features a metallic plane that embodies the geometry of a hyperbolic surface with constant negative curvature, continuously converging toward a 5mm gauge without ever meeting. Much like the geometry of this piece suggests a mathematical infinity, the album's sonic cartography evokes the feeling of intimate gestures within infinite expanses.
As mathematical model 0010 parcels fleeting pulses of life within a meditative continuum, the tangible presence of refracted sounds resonates within vast, ungraspable spaces. It evokes an infinity not as a distant elsewhere or further beyond, but as an immanent quality embedded in the textures of daily experience.

"The album's title is inspired by a land art work by Hiroshi Sugimoto that Luca encountered when visiting the Enoura Observatory of the Odawara Art Foundation. The piece features metal planes embodying the geometry of a hyperboloid of constant negative curvature, converging continuously toward a 5mm gauge without ever meeting. Just as the work's geometry hints at mathematical infinity, this album's sonic map evokes a sense of intimate gesture within boundless expanse. Just as Mathematical Model 0010 parcels out fleeting pulses of life within a meditative continuum, the concrete presence of refracted sound resonates within a vast, ungraspable space. It evokes infinity not as a distant elsewhere or beyond, but as an immanent quality embedded in the texture of everyday experience."
