#02 Tommaso Agostinelli for FLAT shop Spotify Playlist

Matelica, 2011, my teenage years led me to explore lands that seemed far away at the time (20 km from Fabriano). Ever since, the feeling I get when I step into the store has largely stayed the same, despite the ever-changing landscape of fashion and events.

The store's charm lies in its layout, choices, and pairings, exuding a boutique's mysterious allure. These garments are enshrouded in an intriguing uniqueness, akin to a sublime realm. They feel simultaneously distant and within reach: wearing them is an experience that steps out of the ordinary, yet seamlessly integrates into the fabric of everyday life.

Music is a vital, yet not the sole, element of this experience; it serves as a backdrop, casting light on the shelves and their contents, significantly shaping the ambiance.

The concept behind this playlist flips this notion, making music the focal point against the backdrop of the store and its vibe.

In curating the playlist, I've woven together a variety of genres while maintaining a seamless flow between tracks through harmonious and rhythmic links. I aimed to blend the end of each song into the beginning of the next, softening the stylistic diversity with these subtle connections and aligning each track with the store's cool, somewhat abstract atmosphere. Flat.
