## Summary

Sheffield-based musician DIMITRI has released an album exploring how people use buildings, linking architecture with philosophy and music. He says the project took shape after most of its songs had been written, as he recognised a shared theme in the collection: how buildings have been used, are used now and may be used in future.

DIMITRI compares making a song to constructing a building, with rhythm and bass as its foundation, melody as its façade, and lyrics and vocals giving it purpose. The album was mastered by Dean Honer, and DIMITRI imagines performing it as a panel discussion with an architect, a builder and a member of the public. The 12-inch vinyl is available through Do It Thissen Records, with a wider digital and streaming release planned for November.
