Useless Idea - Demo Tape from 1999
From my archive of cassette demos, a track from 1999, the tune must have been done with a Casio, I don't remember the model. Imperfect music, that will never be released on record, imperfect but full of memories and passion, maybe I will share other naive tracks. Enjoy

Having released a handful of lowkey limited tapes prior, multidisciplinary artist and producer Cesare Bignotti has found a new path with his output on Suction Records. His work has remained mostly undercover for 20 years, until it would begin to see the light of day with the diligently compiled Acid Hologram and Xa Peh for WeMe and EVES. Two of his aliases were introduced to Suction with a split sampler EP earlier in the year, and his Useless Idea project receives its debut full-length vinyl treatment with Glitch In The Colors.
With this album, Useless Idea curates a series of careful braindance susurrations, containing synths washed in cathedral-scale ambience and beats crashing humbly along with them. The material was recorded over a 13 year timespan, evident in the jumps it makes from the ambling hiphop shuffles of the title track, complete with quaintly sparkling melodies, to the solemn, whispering vespers of the penultimate ‘Bright’. Even with the heavier ricocheting beats and turbulent breaks of the opening ‘Remember This’, there is a breezy attitude in its murmuring, crystalline synths, forecasting the idyllic microbeat worlds that Glitch In The Colors explores.
The blossoming piano cuts of ‘Moon Dog’ form a kind of “happy softcore” beat with blissfully chugging house rhythms and peacefully echoing vocals, meanwhile tracks like ‘Maat (Version)’ carry a darker, more mysterious mood, with its submerged thunking and breathy atmosphere evoking ancient night rituals, or perhaps an alien transmission. All of this is testament to Useless Idea’s versatility as a producer, as Glitch In The Colors makes for an enraptured mix between braindance-inspired beats and worldbuilding melodies.

Useless Idea: http://www.uselessidea.it/
Artists: Useless Idea Title: Glitch in the Colors Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction057 Format: Vinyl 2x12”/Digital LP Release date: November 11, 2022 Digital Master by Cesare Bignotti ® 2022
VINYL Comes with a Bandcamp download card: https://useless-idea.bandcamp.com/alb... https://bleep.com/format/1148347-glit... https://suction.shop/products/useless... https://suction-eu.shop/products/usel...
“Glitch in the Colors” is the debut full-length vinyl release by Useless Idea, aka Italian artist and producer, Cesare Bignotti. Useless Idea debuted on Suction Records in 2021, with a limited-to-300 12-inch sampler (alongside Bignotti’s alter-ego Seven Nights Alone), which Bleep.com named as their “EP of the Week” upon release, writing “Useless Idea’s widescreen array of hazy synthesized atmospheres, intricate samples and processed recordings … conjure thoughts of a fictional past in another dimension.” With previous under-the-radar cassette album releases on WéMè Records (2018’s “Acid Hologram”) and EVES Music (2020’s “Xa Peh”), Useless Idea has been quietly recording his own brand of inventive, playful, and melodic IDM/braindance for more than 20 years. We’ve been slowly compiling Glitch in the Colors for several years now, and the result is a varied, yet cohesive, collection of instrumental electronic beat-scapes recorded over the span of 13 years, with influences ranging from the classic braindance sound of Aphex Twin and Cylob, to the hazy hip-hop electronica of Boards Of Canada, but with a depth of programming and sound design that is all his own. From the melancholy, orchestral hip hop of the title track, to the videogame symphonics of “Yster Know”, to the delicate piano-house reductionism of “Moon Dog”, the scope and variety found on Glitch in the Colors is a revelation. 2x12” vinyl LP is limited to 500 copies, and adorned with the artist’s own original artwork, Bignotti is an accomplished, and highly sought-after, visual artist. (Words by Suction Records).

Hot on the heels of a split 12" with himself as Seven Nights Alone, Canada's excellent Suction Records present 'A Glitch in the Colors', the vinyl album debut from Italian producer Cesare Bignotti as Useless Idea. The artis has previously appeared on WéMè Records which like Suction does a fair amount of Rephlex worshipping. Melodic electronica is the order of the day, clearly inspired by Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada et al. but with Bignotti's own musical voice shining through the influences. Features ace artwork by the multi-talented man himself. (Words by Norman Records).

Artists: Useless Idea Title: Glitch in the Colors Label / CAT#: Suction Records / suction057 Format: Vinyl 2x12”/Digital LP Release date: November 11, 2022
“Glitch in the Colors” is the debut full-length vinyl release by Useless Idea, aka Italian artist and producer, Cesare Bignotti. Useless Idea debuted on Suction Records in 2021, with a limited-to-300 12-inch sampler (alongside Bignotti’s alter-ego Seven Nights Alone), which Bleep.com named as their “EP of the Week” upon release, writing “Useless Idea’s widescreen array of hazy synthesized atmospheres, intricate samples and processed recordings … conjure thoughts of a fictional past in another dimension.”
With previous under-the-radar cassette album releases on WéMè Records (2018’s “Acid Hologram”) and EVES Music (2020’s “Xa Peh”), Useless Idea has been quietly recording his own brand of inventive, playful, and melodic IDM/braindance for more than 20 years. We’ve been slowly compiling Glitch in the Colors for several years now, and the result is a varied, yet cohesive, collection of instrumental electronic beat-scapes recorded over the span of 13 years, with influences ranging from the classic braindance sound of Aphex Twin and Cylob, to the hazy hip-hop electronica of Boards Of Canada, but with a depth of programming and sound design that is all his own. From the melancholy, orchestral hip hop of the title track, to the videogame symphonics of “Yster Know”, to the delicate piano-house reductionism of “Moon Dog”, the scope and variety found on Glitch in the Colors is a revelation.
2x12” vinyl LP is limited to 500 copies, and adorned with the artist’s own original artwork (Bignotti is an accomplished, and highly sought-after, visual artist). Comes with a Bandcamp download card.

Useless Idea and Seven Nights Alone are 2 aliases of Italian producer Cesare Bignotti, and this is some of the most evocative and accomplished IDM/electronica being produced today. Cylob and Boards Of Canada are the 2 closest references I can think of, though it really doesn't sound all that much like either of them. This 12" split is a sampler for 2 forthcoming releases under these 2 aliases, both sure to become future IDM classics.
