Francisco Espregueira
Time To Play Records just released the debut EP from Stefano Nardon, Eclipse, an introduction to the pianist and producer's expansive musical vision. This collection of tracks conveys an immersive exploration where new jazz sensibilities meet atmospheric soundscapes and unbridled creativity. From the vibrant interplay of flute and intricate rhythms in "Hourglass," featuring Stefano Cosi, to the evocative depths of "Shadow" with its expressive keys laid over rich pads, Nardon establishes a sonic world that is both intricate and inviting. The title track, "Eclipse," itself acts as a bridge, connecting Nardon's foundational influences with his forward-thinking approach.
The journey through Eclipse continues with "Night Fall," a compelling fusion of jazz improvisation and ambient textures, creating a nocturnal atmosphere that lingers in the listener's mind. The EP then gracefully concludes with a serene collaboration featuring Colosimo, leaving a lasting impression of thoughtful composition and nuanced sound design. More than just a collection of individual songs, Stefano Nardon's Eclipse on Time To Play Records announces the arrival of a producer who seamlessly blends genres to craft an experience that resonates with both the head and the heart. Available on vinyl.
