about

„With Bach (1685-1750) ends not only the Baroque period, but also polyphony itself. By building a polyphonic monument as grandiose as it is definitive, Bach indeed collects within his work the experiences of well over two centuries of musical history. After him, music will have to follow other paths, which it had already attempted during the composer's life. "

1751 represents the culmination of a research on Baroque compositional practice started by Luca Longobardi in 2017.
The study of music is a broad-spectrum cognitive path which through interpretations, reinterpretations, and manipulations of the rules investigates the expressive canons of seventeenth-centuryism.
The album is built on two very specific axioms placed together: on one hand the baroque proportion of forms seen in its interplay between parts, and on the other the singularity of melodic fragments that assume, in a macroscopic vision, their own autonomous architectural identity.
1751 therefore sinks its DNA in this geometric reconstruction. This presents the album almost as a large instrumental electronic suite, a single act that moves through an articulated flow of experimentation and formal purism.
The album also marks the return of Longobardi as a classical interpreter: four sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti performed on the piano are in fact present in the album, with the aim to stylistically support the original compositions that instead move exclusively within electronic experimentation and sound design.

Out of the Valley
by n-So

One of the few albums I genuinely consider to be outstanding. A second perfect album by n-So, the only artist I consider to have more than 1 perfect album. The comfortable, warm tone found within Out of the Valley is near impossible to find elsewhere. This project is refined by an incredibly rare mixture of Ambient, Modern Classical, Electronic, and Dub Techno styles. Seriously difficult to find an album like this. Out of the Valley is my personal AOTY for 2020. DiscoNightFever
