Live dub, built in real time.
A continuous loop station, saxophone, bass, synths and effects, layered live into psychedelic reggae dub style.
Conceived by Vito Lorenzoni.
Intense Pressure is Brazilian saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Vito Lorenzoni's reggae/dub project — connecting Florianópolis roots to a base in Cremona, Italy.
Every beat, timbre and layer is captured and folded in front of the room, so the arrangement grows the way a DJ set breathes — but built entirely by hand, from a saxophone and acoustic instruments up.
Instrumental precision meets the flow of a live DJ set.
How the show is built
Tracked live
Beats and timbres are captured on a loop station in the moment.
Mixed in real time
Those layers are folded into immersive dub arrangements as the set unfolds, live at the desk.
Woven together
Original compositions are threaded with reinterpretations of the genre's masters.
