Luigi Porto releases the music video for 'Gabor '25' under Respirano Records label

In the world of music, Luigi Porto, a New York-based composer, has released a new single titled "Gabor '25" via Respirano Records. This nine-minute noir-rock composition thematically delves into the complexities of lost identity and class struggle, drawing from a personal family narrative.

Originally sung by Nefer Alexandra Linde, "Gabor '25" is a reimagined version of a song from Porto's 2021 album "Tell Uric." The track begins as a chanson-style ballad, but evolves into a dense hard rock composition with psych-rock and free jazz influences. It tells the story of a girl sold as a newborn to a childless, privileged couple, unaware of her origins. Her life is marked by unspoken truths, culminating in an early death. The song reflects on the consequences of crossing class boundaries and the motif of social and psychological descent.

The accompanying video for "Gabor '25" features visuals from Italian painter Giovanni Manganaro. The integration of family archive footage with abstract animations adds physical and abstract weight to the storytelling, blurring memory with myth. This work is a continuation of thematic explorations found in Porto’s earlier work, delving into social alienation and the impact of hidden histories on identity and class.

Porto, known for his work that blends noir-rock, classical motifs, and experimental forms, has gained recognition through solo releases and collaborations, including the art-rock duo Manicburg.
