Thats the Review from Smallfish Records on Misound "Stanze di Te" Album: "This gorgeous album from Misound is a really lovely work that works on plenty of different levels, yet keeps it focused on beauty and depth. Moving between ambient textures and melancholy sounds through to a more layered organic style, there's a wealth of things to enjoy. The variation between the tracks is really nice as one minute you'll be tranced out to the wistful, sculptured soundscapes and the next the classical influence will cut through with pianos and strings making their presence felt. Add to that a couple of slightly more rhythmic moments with clicky percussive elements and you've got yourself a well-rounded and very deep album indeed. I have to say it's superb."
Thats the new review by Tanner Menard on Misound's "Stanze di Te" Release:
" Simply put, Misound’s ‘Stanze di Te’ released on Slow Flow Rec is one of the most gorgeous and well rounded albums that I have heard in the experimental/ambient genre. I never make a claim to do totally unbiased reviews. For me, a review is a way to say thank you to an artist and to a label for sharing their work with the world. That said, thank you Misound and Slow Flow for putting out this really remarkable album. What I love most about ‘Stanze di Te’ is its complex assortment of source material. Characterized by a lush assortment of environmental sounds, roughly recorded choral, piano, saxophone and percussion sounds with an assortment of granular textures the album takes me to a place where the basic beauty of music is never forgotten. My favorite track is ‘Sonno’ the opener. It is rare for most experimental electronica to start with such a powerful and blatantly romantic tour de force track. Though it is only about two and a half minutes long the opening track packs a sonic punch and opens the door for the proceeding tracks which soften in intensity. Whereas i am one of the biggest fans of drone, monochromatic tone poems and extreme minimal soundscapes, its a real treat to listen to an album that embodies all of the best elements of experimental/minimal/ambient music while bringing the listener through a myriad sound worlds with ease and mobility. I am also really pumped that pieces were performed live using max/msp patches and recordings of live instrumental performances. There is something real about this music and something original. Credit also belongs to Ryo Nakata for curating such an amazing series of releases, one after the next, Slow Flow Rec continues to find some of the most innovative voices in the ambient genre. Misound’s ‘Stanze di Te’ is maybe the best kept secret i’ve run into in ages. "
" A flowering of sound on this, the third effort from the promising Slow Flow records. A still, calm, yet ripe reverie and repetition animated the young labels first pair of full-lengths; but Marco Iavarone, 'til now content to putter away in the unknown, takes similar cadences and solid circular structures and allows a richer range of sounds to flow over them, not unlike the first rumblings of a river after the thaw. "Sonno", the opening track, takes some clean, clear synth tones and lines them with processed ambient chords, which rise in intensity alongside wordless male vocals to produce a strong emotional and aesthetic response in the listener. Hereafter Iavarone tinkers over the tracks, exploring various possibilities, approaches to be tested and finally discarded or retained according to their effectiveness. The skeletons of most tracks are generally neat and beautifully effective: the title track is a classical-inspired composition; the piano refrain, skillfully overlapped with percussive hiccups and digital crinkles, is sensual and tactile. There's also a gorgeous transparency to the graphic scores on works such as "Creta" and "So Easy". Stripped back to its basic parts, the vulnerable threads on "Giorni Vuoti" together make for an elegant backdrop, over which the plummy pronunciation of the instrumental lines stand out beautifully. As the record develops, Iavarone manages a strategic payoff between the textural clarity of the aforementioned works with the gestural surprises of a small number of other pieces. The soundscaping harmonies of several other works, for one, is decidedly and unexpectedly vague, which keeps the work from becoming overly settled or uniform. "Se Non Lo Sai", in particular, has processed piano chords spiral around each other like an echoing cathedral. Perhaps most importantly, though, Iavarone knows how to pace his material over the long duration in order to retain an atmosphere of fresh and suspenseful ritual throughout." By Max Schaefer Misound "Stanze di Te" first CDr release on Japanese Record Label Slow Flow Records is out. More info .
