BRUNO SANFILIPPO & MATHIAS GRASSOW
Cromo -piano & drones-
CD, ad21music, 2010
For this work of art, Mr Sanfilippo and Mr Grassow have teamed up a second time, together creating a smooth and quiet sonic soundscape to follow-up their critically acclaimed "Ambessence".

The six "chapters" on "Cromo" offer 62 minutes of intimate soundings which sees a precise interplay of Bruno’s Old Lady Grand Piano and Mathias vast, transparent and fluid drone tapestries.

The outcome is delicate, sensitive, glacial and hypnotizing, a slow drift with a soothing, mesmerizing effect. My personal highlights are the vast spaces explored on the third and fifth installment, which both reach out to a grand design of things.

Yes, "Cromo" once more truely illustrates the label’s vision that instrumental music can lead the soul into a state of sacred intimacy. Chapeau, Mathias and Bruno.

Next to digital download formats from MusicZeit, the album is also available as factory-pressed cd from the label.
