A quiet masterpiece. Damian Dalla Torre’s second album, which is gradually gaining attention in the Leipzig scene. Following his debut—a work of deep introspection and quiet emotional fluctuations—this new release offers “not a choice between light and darkness, but the quiet afterglow that lies beyond accepting both.” It presents a fully realized artistic vision. It arrived a bit late, but I highly recommend checking it out.
“A pinnacle of contemporary ambient music.” — BBC Ranked No. 1 on The Guardian’s list of the Best Contemporary Albums of 2024.
It’s said to be a masterpiece with that kind of aura. Created during an artist-in-residence program in Santiago, Chile, the album organically blends elements of electronic, jazz, and ambient music using the quena—a traditional Andean flute—alongside synthesizers and field recordings. It’s listed as “South American rec,” but personally, I can’t get enough of this sense of illusion… Ruth Goller, who played bass in the predecessor band to Sons of Kemet—which also featured Shabaka Hutchings—is a featured artist. The connection to the UK jazz scene in this context is also fascinating. I can honestly say this is simply beautiful music. Rumors of a Japan tour!? Don’t miss out!
