Documentary: Distorted Proportions
In the vibrant world of music, two artists from different realms embark on their unique creative journeys. Mario DiSanto, an analog maestro, finds solace in the warmth of vintage gear and the tactile connection of acoustic instruments. Luci Fer, a digital prodigy, thrives in the infinite possibilities of electronic beats and synthetic sounds. Their paths are distinct, yet their stories echo similar themes of passion, family, and the pursuit of artistry.
As Mario and Luci reflect on their personal and musical lives, they remain unaware of a hidden thread that intertwines their destinies. Through a series of unexpected events and shared experiences, they gradually uncover the surprising connection that bridges their analog and digital worlds.
