Music
An experimental instrumental EP that explores and pushes the boundaries of sound and music: a unique blend of organic vocabulary mixed with elements borrowed from the syntaxes of world, cinematic, and electronic music. In perfect Dario’s fashion, his boutique sound encompasses textures that are grainy and warm, traditional instruments that are produced and reinterpreted in a ‘modernly primordial’ way, and the simply complex – yet compelling – melodies complement sounds that range from hypnotic to visceral, from dissonant and punchy to sophisticated and deep.
ACROSS ALL STATES (2019)
In this album – recorded between Los Angeles and London’s Abbey Road Studios – dense Americana atmospheres seamlessly blend with soaring strings, dark acoustic guitars, pulsing cello and a mix of melancholic and evocative charango arpeggios, exploring the sound of both Americas in a unique way.
