There’s something quietly transportive about the music of Sacrobosco—a sense that each track exists slightly outside of time, suspended between memory and invention. On his new single “All I Long For,” Giacomo Giunchedi leans fully into that feeling, crafting a piece that feels less like a song and more like a fleeting state of consciousness.

Out now, the track serves as the first entry point into Dreamlike Places, his forthcoming fifth album, arriving February 13, 2026 via Antinational Noise—the experimental electronic imprint he founded.

A Song Built from Fragments

At its core, “All I Long For” is a study in transformation.

The track originates from an unlikely pairing: a YouTube acapella of the jazz standard Fly Me to the Moon and a playful AI-generated piece shared by a friend. Through granular synthesis in Ableton, both sources are stretched, dissolved, and reassembled into something entirely new—detached from their origins, yet still carrying emotional residue.

What emerges is a delicate interplay between familiarity and abstraction. The vocal fragments feel ghostlike—recognizable, but never fully graspable—floating over a bed of minimalist textures and subtle rhythmic motion.

It’s a sonic paradox: intimate, yet distant.

The Sound of Dreamlike Places

“All I Long For” encapsulates the ethos of Dreamlike Places, an album constructed from field recordings, acoustic sampling, and digital manipulation. Recorded primarily in Giunchedi’s Bologna home studio and later refined with Davide Bombanella in Modena and mastered in London by Jason Goz (known for work with Burial and Massive Attack), the project moves fluidly between microhouse, ambient, and downtempo territories.

But genre is almost beside the point.

What defines the album is atmosphere: nocturnal, urban, cinematic. Tracks shift between dancefloor momentum and expansive stillness, often within the same composition. London street recordings—captured in Brixton, Dalston, and Hackney—blend with Bologna’s underground club culture, creating a sonic geography that feels both specific and universal.

As Giunchedi describes it, the music exists in a “parallel dimension generated by vibrations”—a place where time loosens and perception shifts.

Intimacy as Environment

Despite its technical complexity, “All I Long For” is rooted in something deeply human.

The track was composed during a quiet summer moment, with Giunchedi working while his two-year-old niece played nearby. That presence—unassuming, almost incidental—filters into the music’s atmosphere. There’s a softness here, a sense of stillness that contrasts with the digital manipulation at its core.

It’s a reminder that even the most abstract electronic music often begins in lived experience.

Between Cities, Between Worlds

With Dreamlike Places, Sacrobosco continues to build a body of work that resists easy categorization. His process—sampling everything from pop icons to street sounds to online fragments—creates a kind of sonic collage, where high and low, past and present, physical and digital all coexist.

And yet, nothing feels chaotic.

Instead, there’s a quiet cohesion—a sense that every fragment, no matter how disparate, belongs to the same dream.

On “All I Long For,” that dream is already taking shape.
