Jason Vitelli
Jason Vitelli's latest album, "1. Ambient Corridors", showcases his remarkable versatility and ingenuity as both a composer and musician.
This collection of instrumental tracks offers an expansive array of experiences, spanning from the elegant melodies of a chamber orchestras, to the daring realms of avant-garde soundscapes. Each track contains its own universe of musical landscapes which the listener
can become completely immersed in.
With "1. Ambient Corridors," Jason Vitelli embarks on a new chapter in his musical career, stepping away from his singer-songwriter roots to explore the expansive world of instrumental music.
Vitelli's approach of leaving room for interpretation and imagination, evident both in his compositions and in his discussions about his creative process, adds layers of depth to the listening experience.
Across twelve tracks, Vitelli blends acoustic instruments like cello, viola, and piano with electronically manipulated found objects, crafting a mesmerizing sound.
Driven by his fascination with the interaction between human performance and digital manipulation, the artist's compositions often emerge as sensory experiences, influenced by the phenomenon of synaesthesia. For instance, the piece "Chukchi Sea," originally unrelated to frozen landscapes, unexpectedly evokes images of vast icy terrains through its haunting piano melodies.
Informed by classical structures, such as Bach's preludes and fugues, tracks like "Lost and Found" show skilful interweaving of melodies. Meanwhile, "Exit Love Story," with its moody synthesized jazz trio, hints at cinematic influences, echoing the emotive depth of its indie film namesake.
The collaboration with Barry Diament for mastering underscores a commitment to achieving excellent in sound.
Undoubtedly, the ability of music to spark associative thoughts and fuel the imagination is one of its more potent qualities, and it is clear that Vitelli's work excels in this regard.
