Doomed Confessionary: Marco Campitelli (Oslo Tapes)

Oslo Tapes is an avant-garde/krautrock collective led by Italian musician Marco Campitelli.

While the Oslo Tapes capsule is in orbit, on board are Mauro Spada on bass and Davide Di Virgilio on drums, Stefano Micolucci on bass and upright bass, Federico Sergente on percussion, Nicola Amici, also known as Kaouenn, on guitars, synths, and percussion. There are also exceptional guests such as Berlin’s Sicker Man from Trialogos on cello and Dahm Majuri Cipolla, the Japanese post-rock band Mono drummer. After being part of the same label as Marco Campitelli, they cultivated a collaboration driven by their shared passion for krautrock.

Oslo Tapes fourth full-length album »Staring At The Sun Before Goin’ Blind« was just released on December 1st, 2023 via Echodelick Records, Sound Effect Records and Grazil Records.

Oslo Tapes is a sort of collective leaded by me. Every album is a trip with all members of this crew between stars and galaxies.
