Italian ambient composer, Emanuele Errante lands his second full length release on the only label where it belongs - Somnia. Errante began his musical career in electronic folk-rock bands. In 2004 he released his first solo album, Stand, under Mais alias on a Maetrixsolution netlabel. In 2005, Errante released his first ambient work under his real name, Absolute EP on Maetrixsolution once again. 2006 reaped his debut full length, Migrations, on Apegenine Recordings - a Canadian independent label for electronic textural music that first hit the scene with a compilation of ambient sounds from Julien Neto, Xhale, Xerxes, and Khonnor among a few [definitely worth checking out as well]. Errante's sound is soothing, organic, drifting, and at the same time present in the now. The textures within the soundscapes are carefully laid out, like a crisp white table cloth saved for a special occasion. The music within Humus is more than just a selection of layered ambient pads and smoky dream states. Intelligent design and production looms just around the corner, ready to reveal itself just as you float away. Errante is definitely an excellent addition to the roster of Somnia. Instantly fitting in among the modern classical releases by its owner, Evan Bartholomew, Somnia's third hand made installment propels the independent label to the ranks of Xela's Type Records and Deaf Center's Miasmah. Recommended for the likes of the above mentioned artists. Humus is the second effort from Italian ambient composer Emanuele Errante. His first album, Migrations, was met with an excellent reception that quickly built a loyal following, leading to eager anticipation of another album. With yet more experience under his belt for this new journey, Emanuele Errante does not disappoint. Humus is a meditation that begins in his deft hands, creating the vehicle that sends you on your way. The six-and-a-half minute long opening track washes you into the album like a gentle tide. But this is only temporary, an acclimation. Soon, it’s expansive storyboard sweeps you into it’s inescapable current to slowly travel long, placid distances. Don’t worry if you’re not immediately in the right frame of mind to appreciate this, you’ll get there soon enough. The viscous sequences and deep acoustics act like an aural balm on a frayed mind, calming while simultaneously elevating the listener with lush, stunning minimalism. A heavy flux of densely packed sounds unwinds to reveal textures that are occasionally accented by stealthy buzzes and whirs. Humus is evocative of quiet, solitary moments, and is probably best enjoyed that way, where the listener can sink into themselves and get carried away on expressive and undulating auras. Ultimately, Humus proves that it is a really top-draw release that utilises extremely subtle electro-acoustic, micro-techdrone dynamics to unfurl unbounded across your listening space and seep into your mindset, disorienting you into some kind of hypnotic euphoria where hazy soundscapes contrast stunningly with progressive melodic motifs. Keeping with the organic nature of the album, the packaging is wax-sealed recycled paper printed with soy inks, limited to a telling run of 777 copies. This special packaging does much to reflect the spirit of an album that will leave listeners begging for more yet again. ~ by Angie Pardue |
