Verticchio’s best representative efforts in eerie, nostalgic and luminously repetitive ambient music around thematics that oscillate between personal, then affective memory lines, the sovereign nature world and its mysterious path to enter our own psyche.
Eerie, nostalgic and luminously repetitive ambient music
Twist of Fate marks a new turn in Giuseppe Verticchio’s substantial and diversified musical career. This project consists of a duo with Daniela Gherardi and delivers a second and quite remarkable opus. I must say it might easily represent Verticchio’s best representative efforts in eerie, nostalgic and luminously repetitive ambient music around thematics that oscillate between personal, then affective memory lines. The sovereign nature world and its mysterious path enters our own psyche.
The opening theme starts with a gently and emotionally moving guitar motif, slightly and progressively enriched by multi-layered phrases, sustained by electronic notes. A bucolic and dreamily-like estate progressively rises from the background. The second track is a guitar-centric piece built around a gentle pattern that rises to a warm nostalgic and shimmering light. ‘Too far from home’ is a sombre, desolate and plaintive soundscape but with a gentle contemplative arrangement that sums quite well the general tone of the album.
All in all Where the Dusk Has No End is a song-orientated album from Giuseppe Verticchio which results in an intricate mix between acoustic sensitive motives, micro electronic touches, noisy sound structures and one vibrant atmospheric “new agey” vibe. Definitely recommended as post-rock ambient balladries. Between Michael Rother’s intimate e-guitar airs (Sterntaler and Flammende Herzen), Loren Connors’ tearful guitar crying (in Airs and Hell’s Kitchen Park), Stars of the lid, Grouper, Eluvium post-romantical ambient music.
