And at the same time a new album is released: The Little Glass (available in digital as well as in physical format).

BRUNO SANFILIPPO – CLAROSCURO
Classically trained musician and composer Bruno Sanfilippo (Spain) presents a beautiful romantic and somewhat melancholic set of modern classical compositions for piano, violin (Pere Bardagi) and violincello (Manuel del Fresno).
“With the fragility and beauty of some Arvo Pärt compositions and a high cinematic touch, “ClarOscuro” brings the perfect soundtrack for an imaginary movie.”
According to Pleq (Bartosz Dziadosz from Warsaw, Poland)“Ballet Mechanic” is “his most personal, abstract and intellectual work to date, never to be repeated.”
“Ballet Mechanic” contains six tracks, over 70 minutes in total, “inviting the listener to travel through crackle, screech, squeak, sizzle and subtle drones”.
Some of the tracks have a natural feel, like if it was created from field recordings instead of electronic sources. Other tracks sound like distant machines humming while doing their work.
All kinds of subtle shifts are happening in the immersive sound spectrum, but you’ll only become aware if you submerge yourself in the sound. The overall atmosphere is very calm and relaxing.
