about

Last we heard from Gregario, he was pining for a rythm-focused approach that highlighted aural possibilities within the confines of a jazz-inspired duo. Since that statement of purpose, his restlessness has led to a collaboration with prolific producer-of-the-moment Sacha Hanlet called 'Godwin point in 4'. On his latest offering, the multi-instrumentalist hones in on his craft while showcasing an openness and willingness to take risks that push him to new territory. With "Opera Tom", Gregario explores the divide between loop-oriented atmospheres and the dramatic frisson of live instrumentation (still operating on a traditional drum/piano axis). The track begins with a minimalist synth phrase vaguely recalling 'Glassworks' that lights up against a backdrop of electronic percussion and mallet-like arpeggios (cue Aphex Twin's 'Jynweyethek'!). Blending traditional instrumentation with hang drums that infuse the composition with mild warmth and an invitation to daytime reveries, Gregario uses Japanese electronic and ambient music as unlikely touchstones. On the eponymous closing track, the musician expands on this fertile blend of post-rock dynamics and cinematic atmospheres while the piano dominates the eerie middle section. This web of interlocking instruments - flickering hi-hats, dystopian synths colliding with mallet instruments - unfurls a dramatic yet captivating sound, offering a welcome reprieve from the numbness of the news cycle and the repetition of every day events.
