ATLAS by Ulises Conti

http://flau.jp/releases/atlas/

Atlas 2003 – 2013 / Selected work

Atlas collects what could be considered Ulises Conti’s most distinguished recording works throughout his 10-year solo career. The selection reveals a great sound display that generates musical spaces and landscapes of a beauty that is unusual in today’s scene, which stresses the timbral element (piano, French horn, viola, lap steel, etc.) This is only a brief sample from his productions as a musician, because his work also expands on other disciplines such as film, visual arts, dance and theater, as the composer of soundtracks, installations and other sound research projects. He is one of the Argentine composers with the most potential and international projection considering his powerful and inspiring work.

"Contemporary and contemplative, Atlas is a timely celebration of an artist in his prime" -A Closer Listen

"all it’s beautiful, solitude state reminds the listener of Erik Satie or Claude Debussy. Melancholic, atmospheric" - Vital Weekly

"The music’s evocative quality lends support to the idea of Conti as a natural film composer, especially when a few passages exude a Nino Rota-like character - Textura

モダン・クラシカル、エレクトロニカ、アンビエント、ガレージロックとボーダーレスに活躍し、そのイマジネイティブな孤高のサウンドスケープで注目を浴びるアルゼンチン・ポスト音響派の貴公子Ulises Conti。
過去10年に及ぶソロキャリアからセレクトされた楽曲は、洗練された優雅さと深い叙情性を持ったピアノ・ソロ、ヴィオラやバイオリンとのメランコリックな掛け合いが美しいクラシカル作品、まるで深海の中にいるようなアンビエント、アメリカーナのニュアンスを見事に取り込んだ牧歌的フォークトロニカまで、バラエティ豊かな全編を通し、耽美かつ映像的なUlises独自の美的感覚が貫かれた集大成的作品になっています。
