How to turn a moment of worry, uncertainty and isolation into something of a warm-hearted, creative catalyst? How to build bridges when humanity in its entirety seems caught in the nets of decisively painful crossroads? Written and recorded during the lockdown that's put our civilisations to sleep for the past year, the new album from Third Attempt comes as a much welcome balmy treat to our existentially dreadful times.

Dishing out good vibes in copious amounts, the aptly named 'Beats From The Quarantine' finds Third Attempt doing what he does best, i.e. pushing low-slung trip-hop joints and reframed disco blends on a loungey tip. An idyllic opener, 'Addicted' gets the ball rolling in soothing, dreamy fashion - grooving out to a plush, slap-heavy bounce that'll get your hips swaying and feet shuffling without further ado. Channeling polychromatic urban energies, the sample-heavy 'Front To The Back' then serves up a crisp mix of hip-hop drums, fluttering melodies and nu-age-friendly flights steering us closer to organic sound folds.

A heavily dubbed-out jazzy affair, 'Make It Double' stresses an intricate mixture of brass-laden jamming, wistful piano chords and smokey funk bass, all resounding across a dense haze of FX and subtle textural arrangements that grow deeper as bars pass by. Drifting towards more ethereally soulful heights, the brittle 'Missing Feeling' has us teleported to poetic jazz dreamlands in a snap of the finger. Fusing a solid bass with lush flocks of mischievous woodblocks and otherworldly chimes, the track floats in a zone of its own, just as eerily lavish as it is invitingly emotional.

Fuelled on laid-back trip-hop and vibraphonic kosmische, downtempo chugger 'Please Hold' quietly rides on to greener spiritual pastures, whilst 'Rain' reels out a more aqueous swing - mustering a breezy yet introspective package of sonar-like bloops, luxuriant disco shades and dusky Floridian atmospherics. Upping the tempo drastically, 'Images' keeps the feels pouring but tweaks the whole into a further hectic acid-drenched second half. Tapping into traditional Hindu motifs, 'Mirage' is a deeper-than-deep mystic trip, catching its listener in hypnotic webs of sitar-imbued harmonics.

Breathable to the fullest, 'Air' eases us in moody balearic jazz territories again through finely woven flights of languid trumpets and polychromatic pads, paying a nice tribute to the late José Padilla's evergreen melodic touch. One to curl up and drift off to, closing cut 'Cocoon' wraps us in warm layers of piano and synth-strewn accordance, fitting somewhere between the prismatic beauty of Aphex Twin's Drukqs-ian excursions and further sun-kissed Ibizean magic.

Front To The Back

PREMIERE : Third Attempt - Front to the Back

Lemons

Ajnkana - Astringent

"The tale of its origin is utterly superfluous.
The only concept to grasp is that at some point in space-time it became inevitable, hence Music and Light had to escape holistically the obnoxious hollow of Materialism.
The cyclical motion of the Universe did the rest, erasing everything there was before.
The results were harmonies, piano recordings, grooves and kickdrums conveyed in a deep futuristic selection of undefined Electronic compositions and atmospheres."

...Between May 6 2013 and May 5 2014, Galliano embarked on a challenging and wildly ambitious musical endeavour, which saw him compose, arrange, record and upload one original instrumental song a day for a year. 365 songs in 365 days!
----------
......That’s one of the most wonderful things about Galliano’s music – it is always reminding us of things, just vaguely enough to put the image in your head, before pulling back and allowing you to wander and fill in all the gaps. It’s a unique gift to be able to give people – the ability to call personal images to mind simply through the power of sound.......

…….. As I said before, and have said in other reviews of Galliano Sommavilla, he is a master of musical landscape…….. His unique style and arrangements also have a certain familiarity in what they evoke in the listener emotionally: what images of nature, what heat of skin on skin, what energy between dancing feet and pulsing floor……
Alice Neiley, Reviewer

Emotion. Image. Journey. Magic. If four words could describe Galliano Sommavilla’s work as I’ve experienced it, those would be the words....

...The very thought of creating a song for every single day of the year is daunting, indeed. Those that experience writer's block would never imagine taking on such an expansive task.......
Dan Macintosh
-------------
....With an ambitious project of one song a day for a year, Galliano Sommavilla, the master of musical landscape, is back in all his magic, mist, and textured layers of sound..... to create Sommavilla’s classic mellow mood, because they weren’t, in fact, composed in the order they appear. Each one was written on a separate day, complete with the varied nature of what we all feel in various hours of various parts of a week—a tendency toward movement, stillness, downright dancing, or a meditative state.......
---------
...... over a one-year time-span and this is only one release in a slew of releases that showcase this musical endeavour...... worlds of dance, electronic, pop, new age, neo-classical, trip-hop, and instrumental.  Galliano is one amazing one-man band with epic sounds coming from keyboards and such.

Vinyl: bit.ly/BaP_Onertolati / Digital: bit.ly/OnertolatiDGTL

Milan’s Brioski returns to Slow Motion for his first sole record following his appearance on the Italian Dance Wave compilation. Onertolati is four tracks of tweaked-out disco madness, off-kilter rhythms and electronic brain flutters. It’s kind of like being stuck inside a particularly sexy ECG machine. One of the heads and the dancers.
