This is amazing. I can most def feel the message getting through and the emotions that lets me compromize that this was made to be seen 

Verdaderamente profundo, tocó fibras internas, me hizo emocionar hasta las lágrimas.

would love to loop this for a 10 to 15 min morning meditation... sinking softly into the smoothness of this sound! 

How is it possible for a human being to express so much through music? Simply thank you.

Italian electronic music producer, Andrea Mangia, started off his career as Populous back in 2002 with Morr Music. I remember catching a few of his tunes on the debut, titled Quipo. Returning to the same meditative atmospheres, fueled by ambient textures and punchy rhythmic beats, Mangia paints a soundscape of beautifully produced sonic pastures, ones where the sun rays brush a bathing childhood memory, full of floating clouds and enormous space. Names like Tycho, Christian Löffler, Sun Glitters, Helios, and, of course, Boards of Canada, float to the top of my virtual catalogue, as I prepare a mental playlist where I would feature tracks by Populous alongside that feel-good, hypnotic, music that lifts and cradles the soul. On his new record for the Italian La Tempesta Dischi imprint, Mangia explores the feelings of “floating over a calm and mysterious Mediterranean sea” through the concept of Stasi (which means ‘stasis’ in English) – the slowing down of the current insanity surrounding us in the everyday world. It is through this moment of much-needed reflection that we can recover and finally see clearly again, like through the muddy running waters which need a pause to settle down, so that they could be transparent again. Today I’m premiering the opening track from the album, “Orizzonti bagnati dell’Adriatico,” which, with the help of Google I’ve roughly translated to “shimmering horizons of the Adriatic” [feel free to provide me with a better translation].

“Orizzonti bagnati dell’Adriatico” is a clear tribute to “Prati bagnati del Monte Analogo” which is an extraordinary album by Roul Lovisoni and Francesco Messina, produced by the great maestro Franco battiato. I wanted to transfer those suggestions of quietness and transparency in my native area, that is the south coast of the Adriatic sea, where gorgeous suggestive colors can be seen in the horizon between sky and sea."

"Before Jon became the world-famous and respected composer he is today I had the privilege of doing some sessions with him. This is something that we started 8 or 9 years ago and the original idea was less than 90 seconds long. I always loved the feeling it gave me so I decided to develop it for this album as I felt it fitted into what I was trying to say. The words came last. This extract was shown to me by my friend (and one of Belfast’s finest actors), Lalor Roddy because he thought it had a lot in common with a short film I directed called ‘I AM HERE‘, which deals with family and reconnection in the afterworld. It comes from a book called AENEID VI, which was the last work Seamus Heaney translated before he passed; which made it even more special as I consider this to be a very Northern Irish-themed album. When I first read it I was stunned by the similarities and wrote a letter to Mick Heaney (Seamus Heaney’s son) asking for permission. The Heaney family gave me permission (which I am forever grateful for) and the next step was securing the voice of another Northern Irish great, Stephen Rea. A huge thank you to Stephen and the Heaney family for helping me make this happen. It was a perfect way to finish this album." - David Holmes
