Odd Doubt / Johnny Leech

Released in 2014 under the Granny Records label, Odd Doubt / Johnny Leech represents a collaborative effort between Italian experimental musicians Nicola Ratti and Giovanni Lami. The project emerged from a contemporary landscape of Italian avant-garde music, characterized by an emphasis on texture, site-specific sound exploration, and the manipulation of analog sources. Both artists have built significant reputations in the field of electroacoustic composition, often focusing on the interplay between acoustic phenomena and digital processing.

The design of the record reflects the minimalist and conceptual approach typical of Ratti and Lami's broader bodies of work. By pairing their distinct sonic palettes, the release seeks to push the boundaries of drone and noise, creating an immersive auditory environment that favors subtlety over high-impact gestures. Upon its release, the record was positioned within niche experimental music circles, receiving appreciation from listeners and critics focused on sound art for its precise engineering and rigorous structural experimentation.
