Komaframe, through his artistic expression, has been influenced by the underground scene of Rome, emerging from its dark corners, and later by the peaceful environment of his home studio. After a long time in his musical career with different bands, the multi-instrumentalist, who later came from Roma, has, in a very courageous manner, decided to identify himself as a solo artist, not by dismissing the works of others, but by raising the question of what creative solitude can liberate. His recent single, “Working on a new brain,” is a combination of fresh sound and philosophical outline.
It is tough to spot the singularity of Komaframe’s music. In the background, you can recognize the coldwave energy of Depeche Mode, the intense and evocative style of Massive Attack, the delicate and dreamy sadness of Radiohead, as well as the vast emotional range of Pink Floyd. However, he did not choose to conform and become a mere copy. Instead, he dived into the emotional depths of the rock and blues genres to bring out the rawness, and then he enveloped these human flaws in a modern electronic milieu. The outcome is a hybrid that produces very slow, atmospheric, and reflective music, which is not intended for escapism but for personal growth.
The work of evolution is what gave life to “Working on a new brain.” The phrase is not just figurative; it is a central idea. According to Komaframe, this song is a meditation on self, protection, adaptation, and psychological repair, the emotional equivalent of a complete rewiring of the house when the old wiring can no longer handle the voltage of the experience. It has the deep resonances of an internal conversation: fear versus growth, vulnerability versus fortification, human fragility versus the instinct to survive.
The recording was done at his home studio in Rome, and the mixing/mastering was performed by an expert engineer, which was far from a straightforward task. Komaframe created this record by combining a challenging set of both acoustic and electronic elements. This duality reflects the song's topic: the organic side of humanity meets the engineered side of resilience. “Merging these worlds,” he admits, “was the most difficult aspect.”. But the fight was worth it; the production sounds like it has a definite space, it is genuine in terms of touch, and it stirs the emotions, breathing with a rhythm that is both mechanical and deeply human.
According to Komaframe, the song is designed to “take you on a deep inner journey while remaining open to outer space and time if any exist.” It is an existential one, but it is not pretentious; it is philosophical, yet it remains grounded in raw human need. Each one of us is constantly reinventing ourselves. Each one of us restructures our inner framework when life forces us to do so. With sound, Komaframe tells this universal story.
For the Italian performer, "Working on a new brain" is more than just a fresh chapter; it is a declaration of his intentions. Introspective, brave, borderless, and a reminder that transformation isn't a sign of weakness but a way of survival. Komaframe gives depth instead of noise and a soundtrack for all those who are silently rebuilding themselves from the inside out in this increasingly louder world.
