Blind End Now

6 track album, released September 6, 2026 The Last Five Minutes (TL5M) are Alberto Carozzi (bass and guitar) and Matteo Uggeri (laptop) who have played together for over twenty years. Both are involved also in other projects: together in Sparkle in Grey, Matteo with Open to the Sea, Barnacles and Starlight Assembly (along with Dominic Appleton of Breathless and This Mortal Coil). They play a mixture of beat oriented experimental form of ambient music. When live, they perform "Not Indispensable Wonders", an audiovisual performance where every element is in dialogue: the space, the audience, the present moment, so the music is entirely improvised. They believe in sincronicity and in the beauty of everyday. "Blind End Now" is their debut album on Mahorka, following Matteo's appearance on the label with Open to the Sea (reworking Stefan Christoff's piano pieces). For it Alberto recorded crackles from vinyl loops on his turntable. Then freely laid down bass tracks - with no BPM reference - in his home studio in Usmate Velate. He later sent them to Matteo. Who added rhythms and other sounds in Milan. It all took place in the spring of 2020. A time everyone remembers. Aged for about five years.
