Album Theme: Analogue Ambience. Listen to Ordinary Story, Etna, Dusk Thoughts and A Little Distance. When I composed the tracks for ANALOGUE AMBIENCE, I wanted to emphasize musical tones and atmospheres through the use of acoustic and organic instrumentation, starting with my primary instruments: guitar and piano. I also explored the timbres and sound of some ethnic instruments like charango, duduk, oud and mandolin, mixed with more traditional instruments like trumpet, violin and cello aiming to create a unique and dramatic sound. - Federico Truzzi. The distinct character which evolved in this compilation is so pure due to the nature of its authentic instrumentation and at the same time, it is also so incredibly exciting - owed to the thought provoking originality of its compositions.
