With Unveiled, Nuel—best known as one half of Aquaplano alongside Donato Dozzy—returns with a stunning solo statement: four live recordings made in a single inspired session on October 3rd, 2015. Raw and emotionally charged, these tracks form a sonic diary of desire, memory, and introspection. “The inspiration comes from a woman,” Nuel explains. “The record is my reaction to something she unveiled. It’s about strong feelings, relationships, mental projections… a sexy record, for me.”
Each track traces a different facet of that revelation. “OK Face” opens with dubwise propulsion and dense, Aquaplano-style atmospherics—hypnotic, tactile, and submerged in reverb and delay. “Aphrobite” follows, stretching time into an endless vapor trail of distant drums and mournful synths. “Morning Loving” slows things further, bathing in soft, fluttering textures and warm tonal drift, while “M_Animal” closes with radiant restraint—an oscillating synth suspended over blushing ambience.
Elegantly restrained, yet brimming with feeling, Unveiled moves fluidly between cinematic techno, ambient abstraction, and reverie. It’s music built from memory, not mechanics—always subtle, never sterile.
The sleeve features a photograph of a Greek statue screen-printed in dense black ink, serving as a fitting visual prelude to the music’s weight, beauty, and vulnerability.
