Guitarist of 3/4HadBeenEliminated, Stefano Pilia is also involved in many collaborative projects as well as intelligent composer of refined solo works like this: a delicate, intimistic album where each piece is softly executed.
Stylized textures, often in a drone vein, created mainly by his favourite instrument that produces a dilated (“Sea”) or more defined sound (“Water”, “Question”, “Window”), always pervaded by a melancholic attitude.
Echoes, reverberations which can be generated by a guitar or gentle touches of piano (the first segment of “Sky”) lead up to the final track (“Land”), a transition into a floating, surrounding ambience, then fading like a vanishing image.
A surprising exercise of style that works which start from a similar approach rarely reveal.
