Bombyx Mori presents: “Chaotic Resonance”

Silk is often associated with smoothness and softness, but it is a material with many other qualities. It is incredibly strong and durable and has a rich history behind it. The manufacturing process is painstaking, involving domesticated silkworms humans have bred for so many generations that they no longer exist in the wild.

With such a poetic shot at its name, Bombyx Mori (Which is also the scientific name of the silkworm) is a band that combines various challenging music styles with open-minded lyrics and a deeper focus on existential and social themes. The story behind this project is fascinating. Stefano, the musician at the helm of the band, had to stop playing with his bands due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many other musicians out there, he found himself stranded and unable to do what he loved. Still, he persevered and came up with some unique ideas despite these challenges.

Cool concepts kept rolling, and he was able to come up with some bass patterns that eventually turned into full songs with the help of musicians from all over the world, who joined forces with him in order to bring these tracks to life.

The decision to invite a diverse group of outside musicians had a significant impact on the project. Not only did it bring a broader range of musical backgrounds, but it also introduced fresh ideas and excitement. The open-ended approach to creativity resulted in songs that benefited greatly from the collaboration of musicians from different parts of the world. It shows Stefano‘s ability to continually explore new sounds, but at the same time, remaining rooted in a very personal aesthetic that makes his work all more intuitive and easy to connect with.

From metalcore-inspired tracks like “Freeze The Frame” down to the progressive leanings of “Through The Lens,” and hints of hard rock and folk on “Clockwork Man,” there is room for different directions on every song, making the album diverse and spontaneous. “Chaotic Resonance” is currently available on streaming platforms:

“When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, restrictions made it difficult, if not almost impossible, to continue performing live or even meet to create music. So, I decided to develop the 11 songs I had written with musicians from all over the globe,” Stefano said.

“I started from scratch, beginning with the band’s name: Bombyx Mori, which is nothing but the scientific name for the silkworm, chosen after discovering that these creatures have been exploited by humans for industrial purposes for so long that they no longer exist in nature and have even undergone profound changes in appearance and behaviour (now they are white instead of the “natural” dark brown, and they could not survive freely as they are too easily detectable by predators; furthermore, the larvae are no longer able to procure food for themselves and must therefore be artificially fed). It immediately seemed to me to be a fitting metaphor for the society and the world we live in.”

“Despite the obvious difficulties of a music production carried out solely via the web, the album Chaotic Resonance that resulted from this “global” collaboration turned out to be extremely unconventional and refreshing to listen to, ranging across different genres and managing to be as heterogeneous as the cultural, social, religious, and musical backgrounds of those involved:

Drums => Italy
Bass => Italy
Guitars => India/Brazil/Argentina/Italy/Japan
Synth/Keyboards/FX’s => Ukraine/India/Finland/Italy
Brass (on “Leaves in the Wind”) => USA
Theremin (on “Through the Lens”) => Italy
Bagpipes/Celtic Flutes (on “Clockwork Man”) => Germany
Harmonica (on “Liars”) => Australia
Saxophone (on “The Promise”) => Nigeria
Vocals => Netherlands/USA
Mix/Master => Sri Lanka

The presence of musicians from all continents and the use of unconventional instruments in the metal scene led to the intertwining of rhythmic patterns derived from the most disparate musical genres, which, combined with modern sounds and socially-oriented lyrics, contributed to shaping the band’s trademark.”
