Uochi Toki's Napo on Music, Art, and the Future

In an intriguing conversation with Artribune, Matteo "Napo" Palma from Uochi Toki shares insights into their innovative approach and forward-thinking aspirations. The duo merges hip hop with an array of unique sounds across various mediums, including music, video (Megabaita), and graphic design (Lapis Niger). Napo explains that their songwriting process lacks a defined beginning, often characterized by dormant phases and handwritten notes. He highlights bassist Riccardo "Rico" Gamondi's sound as fragmented, particularly in "La fine dell'era della comunicazione." While they have dismantled the barrier between stars and fans, they continue to explore beneath it. Megabaita, initiated by Cassetto, transformed into the crowdfunded project "Il Cartografo" on Primaomai, with funding available until February 5. Napo imagines Uochi Toki evolving into a corporation in 80 years, overseeing both real and fictional worlds.
