AGA is set to release his new single titled ‘Ambient 2.0’ on June 20th. With a sparse sound and obscure sonic canvas, ‘Ambient 2.0’ feels like a dream. Something conceptualized as it is created. The silence between the spaces says as much as the melodies. This could be considered a score for a thought. Something in your head that just got a soundtrack.
AGA (Alessandro Antolini) is a dreamcatcher as much as he is a musician. Someone who skates the line between music and muse. He is one of those artists who takes the obscure made famous by the likes of Sigur Rós, M83, Mogwai, and more and adds his signature to that esteemed list. Emotion as a construct, so to speak.
However you listen to ‘Ambient 2.0’, realize that you will get lost. You will relax and ingest. And, in the end, you will find yourself again. This is what music should do.
About ‘Ambient 2.0’
Ambient 2.0 focuses on light movements, gently guiding the listener to feel their inner state and then to shape the reality that surrounds them. The main inspiration is undoubtedly Brian Eno, filtered through a contemporary approach; nevertheless, the minimalistic sound and its rhythmic interweavings lighten up with the building of the composition, warmed by timbres that could remind Olafur Arnalds, finally reaching a suspended finale.
The act of listening leads to becoming conduction, the act of not listening leads to a model of inertia. The word listening itself merges with the paths, known and unknown to us, where the perception of places can mutate. The video clip – shot by Alexis Ciancio – through psychedelic ‘deceptions’ fixes as unique the mixture of actions that are lost between the fluctuation of the song.
Ambient 2.0 was composed, performed, and mixed by Alessandro Antolini. Mastering by Alessandro Piatto (NOIA).
