When I listen to music I really like, I am generally compelled to listen to a single track on repeat– like very on repeat– maybe 50-200 times in a row, until it has worn its groove in my brain and I can contemplate adopting a new mood, leading to a new track. Three cheers for monotropism!
I want to recognize these pieces of music that help regulate my days, and the artists who create them. So I’m going to try to notice, investigate, mention them, and if I can, actually purchase the tracks on Bandcamp.
Today’s track is Francesca Guiccione‘s A Dynamic Sense of Light, from her latest album, The Geometry of Time.
Guccione is a Sicilian composer and violinist who incorporates synths, and other electronic instruments and methods, to create looping, atmospheric chamber music. Inspired by the relationship between sound and visualization, she has also scored two films, Lubo and Death is a Problem for the Living.
The album is performed by Guccione and eight other artists on violin, fiddle, cello, and voice. It’s produced by Guccione, and three engineers for recording, mixing and mastering.
I’m unable to purchase the track on Bandcamp, as only physical media is available, most of it sold out. I have followed her, and will bide my time.
