Sentinelle, by Carlo Giustini

Sentinelle

by Carlo Giustini

supported by

Stefan Nieuwenhuis Year after year, I keep coming back at this beauty! Favorite track: Psalm (nell'Armadio Respiri).

Lost Tribe Sound I'm now officially obsessed with the sounds that Carlo Giustini creates. Really not sure that I've heard anyone tackle this style of ambient in a more effective way. Wide open spaces, clouded with soft knocks, padded mechanics, loads of warm bass and constant comforting static.

alec critten The first track alone is worth the price of admission, but this entire set of ethereal pieces doesn't disappoint - this music feels organic, natural, and inviting. Come for the cosmic beauty, stay for the fantastic and textured sound design. Favorite track: Maria del Rovere.

about

Five different expressions that indicate a watchful, alert state, an inner gleam that slowly shakes our fragile walls and volatile ego.
A sentinel is a guardian, a protection, a primordial instinct of survival.
The study of the patterns and paradigms that make up what we call reality, if carried forward with precise criteria can lead us to a bewildering conclusion: the forms and shapes of nature are themselves the result of very precise laws, governed by a unique and essential "Thought". However modern science can only describe the form, the “Thought” remains obscured, unattainable and mysterious. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake calls this process "The Morphogenic Fields". In “easy words” nothing is really knowable.
This concept, as well as completely inspiring this phase of my existence, gave birth to the concept behind Sentinelle.
What you have to listen here is not the music per se (which is in fact a mere symbol), what you need to listen is the vaporescent code behind it.
This process of sublimation, perhaps, can awaken an archaic and common vision, an archetype which is more than ever collective, a great and infinite symbol that governs all our thoughts and affections.

All recordings are first single takes.

All samples were recorded through two walkmans and a philipps microcassette recorder.

The "Psalm" drone is caused by a particular algorithm produced by a reverb that could have been repeated over and over again. However, about every 30 seconds, subtle changes take place to stimulate our subtle inner mental activity.

Colla (Double Album)
by Carlo Giustini

supported by 41 fans who also own “Sentinelle”

have yet to translate the song titles so the artist's intentions are somewhat of a mystery to me, but the wavering surface noise creates the theme of a dialogue between music & technology before becoming invisible to my ears. this conjures memories of listening to music as a child (long before the sterility of digital media), when i rarely took notice of the hiss & pops of records, 8-tracks, tapes, & am radio because they were a normal, necessary aspect of recorded sound. nice to be back again.

Custodi
by Carlo Giustini

supported by 33 fans who also own “Sentinelle”

Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
