Not all music can cope with physical reality. Instruments can be pushed until they lose grip. Eventually, they will slip so far that their untethered voice is all that remains. Panoram follows up on his "Pianosequenza" series engaging in seventeen excursions into playing the part of the piano that doesn't exist, coaxing out inarticulate feelings in lieu of familiar characteristics. Sounds and rhythms resulting from thoughts that can't be put into quite the right words.
Reichian in parts, Cale-esque in others, but still very much of the producer's own imagination. If you've a penchant for experimentalism within classical forms, or piano music in general, this one needs to be fimly at the top of your listening pile.

STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: We're all big fans of Panoram in here, and 2015 's brilliant 'Background Story' still gets played in my house quite a bit, so it's always nice when something new comes along. It's always a little different with Martirani's work, so I don't know what I expected but it ceratinly wasn't prepared piano / Bibio style ambient guitar business. Lovely.TRACK LISTING
