Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: Enrico Cerrato has been active since 2015 under the Petrolio moniker. He has already released multiple productions featuring several collaborative works.
Content: “Respira” opens the gate of a dark, sonic, universe which is bringing Dark-Ambient and Cinematic influences together. Heavy sound waves feature a true arsenal of noises, field recordings and electronic sound manipulations together. It creates music with a strong visual appeal but still passages with heavy, chaotic, Noise fields accentuated by drone effects.
+ + + : “Respira” brings related dark music styles together. You rapidly feel it has been conceived as part of a wider artistic creation between visuals and sound. It also is a complex and sophisticated work featuring an impressive sonic canvas.
– – – : Some of the tracks have been progressively built up without reaching an apotheosis. That’s what the work is missing.
Conclusion: “Respira” is touched by dark, evil, sonic forces which will please the darkest souls. It’s a tormenting experience.
Best Songs: “Quando Ti Sento Piangere Sono Felice”, “Epilogo”.
Rate: 7.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
