From Boomkat:
Emanuele Errante is a name that will likely be unfamiliar to most if not all of you, but like the Hannu album
'Worms in my Piano' from a couple of months back, his album has popped up out of nowhere and
captured our hearts. We don't need to reiterate just how much we adore drifting music with a leaning
toward modern composition, and 'Migrations' truly ticks all the right boxes for us. Taking cues from Deaf
Center's stunning 'Pale Ravine' and Marsen Jules' 'Herbstlaub', Errante extracts subtle and devastatingly
beautiful textures from harps, strings, guitars, pianos and synthesizer without ever taking a misstep. Take
the opening track for instance; 'Rugiada' sets the pace for the entire album with its tantalising blend of
delicate harp strums draped in an otherworldly ambience. This parallel land of curled smoke, the trace of
acoustic instrumentation and the embrace of dense harmony is what propels the album ever forward and
for forty minutes Errante has us totally entranced in his velveteen, dense world. There is a poetry, a grace
and a lightness of touch to his compositions, and although there is, like Deaf Center and Marsen Jules, a
leaning towards electronic production methods 'Migrations' is a far cry from the electronic tomfoolery we
were threatened with five years ago. This album is indicative of a great change in the way electronic music
is being made, a change which allows producers to use the technology now available without necessarily
getting caught up and eventually shackled by it. Indeed Errante seems to have just as much love for Steve
Reich and Arvo Part as for more contemporary producers, and with tracks such as 'Wheels' there is a
sense that he has had a musical grounding which far outstrips many of his more electronically minded
peers. As you've probably guessed we've been totally won over by this debut, it's one of those albums I
can imagine going back to again and again, an engrossing record which will supply you with an untapped
wealth of warmth and sonic innovation. Fans of Marsen Jules, Arvo Part or Deaf Center should investigate
immediately.
