BARBANERA, ALESSANDRO — In Darkness let me dwell
More Info
An epic imaginary soundtrack for an imaginary film noir. Something happened, titles can suggest a story that the listener can make up... An old unsolved case. A tormented detective on the trail of a missing girl. Someone is in danger. A showdown with inner demons. Maybe it was all a dream.
"In Darkness Let Me Dwell" is a quote from a piece by Renaissance lutenist John Dowland (1563-1626). In a dreamlike and nocturnal atmosphere, filled with rain and decaying sounds, the album deconstructs, reworks and wants to pay homage to the imagery and clichés of cinema noir, ranging from classic 40s and 50s movies, up to the works by David Lynch ("Twin Peaks", "Mulholland Drive", "Blue Velvet"), passing through films such as "The Element of Crime" by Lars von Trier, or "Cure" by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
Alessandro Barbanera (ROHS! Lontano Series) is a musician, composer, sound artist, guitar maker from Assisi, Italy.
'It’s a lovely album, best played at the end of the day; the lights are still out when the day turns into evening, and darkness slowly falls".
