     │   When they take a new stylistic direction, it's rare for the artists      │
     │   themselves to understate it. Giuseppe Ottaviani though sees the          │
     │   sea-change music that spans his two æHorizonsÆ albums as more            │
     │   a-moment-in-time ômodificationö to his sound à And not one that          │
     │   represents a permanent change. Nonetheless youÆd be hard pressed to      │
     │   think of a producer within the last ten years whoÆs made quite such an   │
     │   audacious, remarkable and à well à æall-inÆ musical leap as the Italian  │
     │   has ...                                                                  │
     │                                                                            │
     │   It was lockdown that provided the initial inspirational gleaming for     │
     │   the non-club-centric nature of æHorizonsÆ. Its get-go single was over a  │
     │   year ago though and it now feels like just the first of several          │
     │   inspirations, as opposed to its single guiding principle. To create an   │
     │   album that had a wholly different feel, the methodology of GiuseppeÆs    │
     │   studio-craft naturally had to adapt. Perhaps even more challenging       │
     │   though, he also had to tap into a different breed of singer-songwriter   │
     │   in order to realise it. To do that, he searched for vocalists that were  │
     │   all-but unknown within the trance space. This in turn ensured that his   │
     │   own production hand was creatively forced, exploding any final           │
     │   music-making comfort zones that might exist.                             │
     │                                                                            │
     │   In terms of the body of work heÆs arrived with, youÆd have to wonder if  │
     │   even Giuseppe himself realised exactly how evolutionary the end-product  │
     │   would be. From the ever-shifting emotions of Richard WaltersÆ turn on    │
     │   æKeep You SafeÆ, to the bleak-yet-beautiful æWon't Matter MuchÆ with     │
     │   singer Treetalk, the album is unafraid to touch those deeper themes.     │
     │   That goes every bit as much for the stirring lament of æBittersweetÆ,    │
     │   sung by NorwayÆs Katrine Stenbekk and the haunting, but                  │
     │   never-less-than-intriguing æSilhouettes & OutlinesÆ, lent voice by Jess  │
     │   Ball. New to the ear too are the instrumental cuts æUnder Dark SkiesÆ    │
     │   and æCelsiusÆ which resound with GiuseppeÆs studio boom, along with      │
     │   high-achieving harmonies and frequencies.                                │
     │                                                                            │

     │   Of the album, and indeed æHorizonsÆ as a whole, Giuseppe commented that  │
     │   à ômaking this has been as satisfying as any major project IÆve          │
     │   undertaken. IÆm delighted with how it turned out and I know there isnÆt  │
     │   a single track across its eighteen that I wonÆt stand by in twenty       │
     │   yearsÆ time. I knew there would be more of a challenge to making it à    │
     │   but looking back IÆm not sure I anticipated to quite what degree. With   │
     │   some things in life though, itÆs just better not to know!                │
