Eight songs played solo piano, alternative versions of some of the songs from Dardust's latest album of the same name, released in November, a work that challenges the conventions of neoclassical/contemporary music, breaking down the boundaries between the arts and uniting music and architecture. Urban Impressionism is the matching folio of the eponymous new recording project by Italian composer, producer and pianist Dardust. He once again challenges the conventions of neoclassical/contemporary music and does so, as is his wont, by breaking down the boundaries between the arts, uniting music and architecture, harmonising contrasts but starting from new sources of inspiration. On the one hand, the architectural geometries of urban suburbs, from brutalism to post-modernism, which in music are translated into genuine expressions, forged without recourse to embellishments or production artifices; on the other, the rapid brushstrokes of pictorial impressionism, reflected in his approach to composition.
Dardust explores new urban scenarios through journeys and sound recordings in the suburbs of different cities and does so by modelling himself on the Impressionists' ability to paint scenes of modern life in the open air, depicting reality subjectively and emphasising personal and immediate perception rather than precision detail.
8 canzoni suonate in piano solo, versioni alternative di alcuni dei brani contenuti nell’omonimo ultimo progetto discografico di Dardust, uscito a novembre, un lavoro che sfida le convenzioni della musica neoclassica/contemporanea, abbattendo i confini tra le arti e unendo musica e architettura.
Il primo singolo Nuage for a Fading Sky – Piano Solo in uscita il 20 giugno.
Il brano è una metafora della ricerca di fiducia in se stessi nel momento in cui tutto sembra confuso e incerto, è l’immagine di un pensiero che si ricostruisce gradualmente, diventando chiaro e concentrato, mentre fermarsi, meditare e rigenerarsi diventa essenziale.
