Hi all,
I made a sort of ambient music blending lap steel guitar and electric guiatr textures.
Cellardoor is my new work just finished! (SolyarisMusic CDR05, http://solyaris.altervista.org/cellardoor.htm ). All tracks are available for free via MP3 128KB from my website (I reported here links for convenience) in form of draft remix (downloaded one week ago). Final version it's available via CDR right now. Cellardoor is my modest, free & spontaneous tribute to great Richard Kelly's movie Donnie Darko ( www.donniedarko.com ); in facts my preferred film (a part Andrej Tarkovskij's Solyaris ).
http://solyaris.altervista.org/cellardoor.htm
Titles of tracks are sentences pronunced in some topical scenes of maybe one more complex and spiritually deep film I never seen.
Btw, in the photogram above there is the pheraps more touching "revelation" to God ... "Have you evere seen a Portal?" ... Some notes: Richard Kelly's movie contains beatiful music ('80 new wave era ... and a beautiful choir on touching scenes ...) Of course my music do not have any relation to that soundtracks and any metaphisical pretension (?!); indeed is only my expression as musician, as person. Musically speaking, of course there are in this work pheraps references to aesthetic of ambient music musicians I love, but I 'd like to point out that especially last track is my tribute to composer Robert Rich, wich music open a door of percepion in my mind. Last but not least, I'll very appreciate listeners comments (to possibly be publish on my website, please send exact text to be published at solyarismusic@gmail.com
enjoy Cellardoor (I hope)

quote:
Cellar Door is a wonderful CD. The steel balances as well as accentuates the dynamics within each track. The steel was more prevalent on this CD as you used the harmonics to grab emotions - fear, anticipation, apprehension, and excitement only then to sooth the listener with the soft mood tones. It is an aerobic workout for the ears. Great job!

I glad this got bumped up, I missed it in Feb. This is very nice work. There is a quote on your site describing it as 'the ambient heir to David Gilmour's "The Narrow Way"' and I think that's fairly good description.
Fans of Donnie Darko should check out the Swedish movie 'The Invisible' if you can ever track it down anywhere. Don't read too much about it or it will spoil some great plot twists. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298491/
An American remake is in the works, so here's hoping they don't wreck it. |

following some people requests, here a recap of my CDRs releases:
Western Detunes
It's my debut CDR. Some technical errors due to leak of experience on recording, some uncertainties, mostly simple performance-oriented. There are people that love mainly this work in comparison with my successive ones; maybe there is freshness, already representing an old part of myself. My preferred track is "American Stagnation".
Mellow Stasis
This is a double CDR and is my first work focused on a more "compositional" approach. It's a very long work (almost two and an half hours of music) and maybe contain a sort of narration of feeling change (I hope so). Some artists (I love, as Alio Die and Vidna Obmana) suggest to possibly reduce Mellow Stasis to one single CD; I accepted their suggestions, choosing some pieces and so condensing the double CDR in a single CDR ( "Mellow Stasis - reduced edition", Solyaris Music CDR04, now available at my website). Mellow Stasis isn't easy listening (despite the misleading title); the sound is not full as I would like, but it contain some seeds of soundscapes experimentations that call "timescapes" and I hope will explored in my future musical research. My preferred track are "Frogs Fall from Sky in the Magnolias’ Dales" and "Pain Will Wash Away, Healing Will Commence".
Cellardoor
My last CDR, finished in March. Maybe the better result, in terms of sound. I guess homogeneous with reference to Donnie Darko "narration". Very likely it will be mastered and published in 2006 as CD by an important label; meanwhile my music is available for free as MP3 or better as CDR format, available with a no-profit price (I highly suggest listening my music on CDR instead of MP3s, that are btw pre-final mixes).
All the best

I'm very glad to have received this comment
Dear Giorgio . . . .light . . .trance . . .beyond. Your two cd's ["Cellardoor" and "Mellow Stasis"] arrived and I have listened to them both at least twice...mostly at evening time...I think "Mantram" when I listen to your channeling/compositions....listening to them allows my feeling to glow inside an eternal presence full of timeless luminosity and majestic creation....I am in wonderment.. at what has inspired you into this direction and delivery...the music suggests a devotional awareness of the timelessness of consciousness......very serene.....also your music has inspired me to draw on my own inner sense of the deeply eternal…and toe explore channeling/composing MANTRAM music...I feel it is good especially for those listeners who are opening inward towards our common source... I appreciate obvious dedication to making music of high inspirational impact... Luminously. Laraaji
