Mortòri Released New Song

Producer and artist Aris Bassetti (Peter Kernel) from Switzerland, publishes a new song titled “Bordel” under the stage name Mortòri, ahead of debut EP A MORT L’ AMUR (“Death to Love” in english), that will be released via On the Camper Records on Valentine’s Day of 2025. In the EP, Bassetti sings in a dialect that is progressively vanishing.

“Bordel” is the debut single of Mortòri: a twisted and tormented Swiss Italian crooner singing in a dialect that is slowly extinguishing. This song is a tale of love and loss and captures the poignant story of a relationship that couldn’t withstand the girl’s inner demons. Driven by turmoil, she chose a life of chaos over the love they shared. Every attempt by the boy to reach out only pushed her further away, leaving him with no choice but to ask a friend to remind her to look at the stars. And if she won’t, to draw them on the floor where she gazes. “Bordel” is a heartfelt journey through the pain of letting go and the hope of finding solace in the universe.

Mortòri is the moniker of the solo project of the artist and producer Aris Bassetti (Peter Kernel, Camilla Sparksss, Kety Fusco, Monte Mai, Julie Meletta and many others). It was born in 2023 out of an urgent need to explore and exorcise the less pleasant feelings associated with love. Aris decides to do it in his first language, the Ticino dialect; giving the project a particular connotation. Musically varied and avant-garde, Mortòri tries to break down and reassemble the relationship between the local and the global in different ways, giving a new face to a language that is increasingly at risk of extinction.

The song was written, performed and recorded by Aris Bassetti at La Tessinoise, Arbedo CH. It was Mixed by Enea Ponzio & Aris Bassetti at Bynd Studios, Sementina CH and mastered by Andrea De Bernardi at Eleven Mastering, Varese IT.
