Review by Rik MacLean • Ping Things
It should come as no surprise to any of my readers that I'm a big fan and supporter of Bruno Sanfilippo and his music. His "Auralspace" release has been in permanent rotation in my CD player for almost a year now, and I regularly return to his other works when I'm looking for something to listen to. You can understand that I was very pleased to hear about his latest release "Piano Textures 2", a follow up to 2007's "Piano Textures", which was a stunning album of inspired environments using only a processed and effected grand piano as a sound source. 
Now that I've had a chance to listen to it carefully, I'm pleased to report that "Piano Textures 2" continues the idea with similar beautiful results. 
"Piano Textures2 I" opens the disc with a theme from the earlier "Piano Textures" release, which leads into a new meditative piece of great beauty. Employing sparse and simple melodic work over a slowly drifting pad Sanfilippo creates a relaxed environment for the listener to discover at their own pace. Rich in texture and layers, "Piano Textures2 i" sets the tone for the disc as a whole, establishing a mood and a feeling 
that will continue throughout.

"Piano Textures2 II" is up next, a bit more melancholy in tone but certainly just as engaging as the album opener. 
A quiet drone drifts through the background underneath a forlorn melodic line. There's a really clear emotion at play here, a very organic 
and real feeling that breathes through the track, made all the more impressive by the minimal number of notes being used. 
A truly impressive piece of music.

"Piano Textures2 III" follows, a slowly drifting track where forms and shapes are vague and amorphous at best, but still just as warm and beautiful as we've come to expect from Sanfilippo. Tones ebb and flow through the soundscape, gradually becoming clearer and more defined as the track progresses. It's all very languid and beautiful, bringing to mind images of floating on a still lake on that perfect summer's day. 
I've always enjoyed how Sanfilippo's music can transport me to another space like that.

"Piano Textures2 IV" begins with a deep drone that slowly rises out of the soundfield, rich tones building in strength alongside it. 
As time passes, the melodies become more complex, more pronounced, weaving throughout the music but never overtaking the initial drone, just complementing and adding to it. A lovely piece of work.

The sound of twinkling stars begins "Piano Textures2 V", leading into a beautiful example of minimalist space music. 
There's a rich, organic feeling at play here, something very natural and clean developed from simple sources rather than the processed synth work that largely defines the genre. I can't help but think of slow orbits around alien worlds, a solitary beauty.

"Piano Textures2 VI" brings us back to earth, a lush piano piece with minimal processing, just some really wonderful playing that makes me incredibly jealous of Sanfilippo's talents. I really can't do justice to this track, but trust me when I say that it's the most beautiful piece on an album of very beautiful work.

Sanfilippo's talent and mastery of the genre are on clear display with this release and I have no doubt that I will have to find room in my CD player for another one of his releases that I'll be playing all year long. "Piano Textures 2" is a stunning collection of music that I whole heartedly recommend to existing fans of Sanfilippo's work and to those who are looking for carefully crafted organic ambience. Another great release from one of my favorite artists!

Ascesa - the new album from Chasing Dreams.

-------------

Ascesa is chaos and order.

Written before, while and after embracing an emotionally dark place, it's part of one's journey to self-awareness. There's love, anger, rumination, meditation, and realization. It's a lingering, gentle, pensive rise presented as a melodious milkshake of stories, experiences, and feelings.

I hope you'll just enjoy it somehow. Maybe it will make you feel better about your day, maybe it will make you embrace or escape your darkness. Maybe something else. I guess it depends on who and where you are.
