The Nuclear Observatory of Mr. Nanof, by Piero Milesi

The Nuclear Observatory of Mr. Nanof

by Piero Milesi

supported by

Carsten Pieper "Etheral" is a good word to describe most of this album's music. Interesting mix of traditional and electronic instruments. I'm especially drawn to the sound of the Lyricon (had to google it: The first electronic wind instrument) in the long opening piece, which wonderfully adds to the peaceful mood, putting your mind at rest.
Other songs/pieces are more "upbeat", e.g., "In the Car With Mr. Felsen", where piano and strings take a more promenent role. Favorite track: Mr. Nanof's Tango.

PDD I am not normally a fan of minimalist music, but Milesi's music just carries me along its journey, with the subtle changes being emphasized and the music never becoming repetitive. Favorite track: The Presence of the City.

about

''Suspended motion suggests abyssal depths in these soundtrack instrumentals.'' -Keyboard.

Milanese composer Piero Milesi was one of the most prominent Italian artists in the field of electronic minimalism.

After having studied cello, he graduated with a degree in experimental and electronic music composition from the Milan conservatory. He then joined the Gruppo Folk Internazionale entourage and got a degree in architecture with a thesis on the relationship between space and sound.

"An ethereal wonder from an Italian architect / music installation & soundtrack master. A lush adventure of mediative synth and melodic scores for lyricon and small chamber ensemble.
Highly recommended to astronautic mineral engineers of the mental system."

Working in a melodic vein, The Nuclear Observatory Of Mr. Nanof veers from ethereal solo keyboard electronics to scores for lyricon and small chamber ensemble. Lovely, yet also rich musically.
