"AcustronicA" the album you didn't expect!
"AcustronicA" is the second album by AristeA, an Italian musician who applies the rules of classical guitar and contemporary music to experimental pop to create his own musical style that defies classic labels.
The album is a perfect balance of acoustic and electronic sounds, with AristeA's acoustic guitar taking the spotlight in some tracks, accompanied by a variety of other instruments, including synths, synthetic strings, percussion, and even an aeolian harp. The lyrics are in Italian and cover a wide range of topics, from the speed of technological progress to Gurdjieff's philosophy of knowledge, from emotional and sensual ties to the theory that we are not matter but spirit and soul.
"AcustronicA" is an album that surprises and fascinates, inviting the listener on a sonic journey where the boundaries between musical genres dissolve. It is an album that is not easily labeled, but impossible not to listen to.
The tracks that impressed me the most are:
"Veloce come non mai," which talks about the speed of technological progress and how it is changing our way of life;
"Lontano," a poignant love ballad.
"Sono le cose che cambiano," which is an anthem to transformation and continuous evolution based on a theory by Gurdjeff.
"Suoni su suoni," which is a description of a liberation from negative entities;
"Io non sono il mio corpo," which is a reflection on the nature of reality;
"Meteo," a love ballad with references to weather forecasts.
"Chiedo soltanto pietà," a prayer of love and forgiveness from a poem by Davide Maria Turoldo.
"Non ha nome," for this track the sound of the Negrar di Valpolicella's aeolian harp was recorded and seamlessly integrated creating an avant-garde break.
"AcustronicA" is an album I recommend to all fans of experimental pop music and those looking for new sounds. It is an album that will not leave you indifferent.
In the album, along with AristeA's instruments, are played by: DAVIDE PEZZIN (Band of Ligabue): Acoustic guitar and Piano, LUDOVICA BENIAMINI: harp, PIERO BONOLLO: (Breganze plucked orchestra) Mandola, SAXFIA: Tenor sax.
Moreover, I would like to highlight the originality of AristeA’s project, who recorded the album in a fellow musician's studio. This allowed AristeA to have total control over the recording process, taking care of all arrangements with particular attention to sounds, creating an album that is truly unique and personal.
"AcustronicA" has the potential to become a classic. It is an album that goes beyond genre boundaries and offers a unique and engaging musical experience. If you are looking for something new and stimulating, I recommend listening to "AcustronicA."
