Rated: * * * * *
Just over a year ago, I spoke about his "Glass Orchestra EP", named after the title of the song that a Sicilian wine company commissioned for an original advert, a taste of the musical wit by Italian composer Mario Bajardi, who recently signed the third release for ONDE Electronic Contents, the sister label of Paolo Bigazzi'Iter Research. The title track "Inverse" opens the release by means of sizzling beats and metallic hits that got combed by airy layers of violin that flow into a carillon-like melody, a sort of robotic cardiac resuscitation whose style could surmise a combination between the ones by Funckarma and Apparat. The following track "Crusty" follows a similar strategy, but he inoculates spelling bees and a floating piano melody in the lively rhythmical patterns. The only vocal track "Rest" is the one which I enjoyed less, but I could assume that its very simple structure could act like a transparent veil in order to let listener appreciate the voice of Eleza, the singer of Teardrop-Glory Box cover (2008). Mario inoculates harmony within harshness in the central track "Interlude" before steering further more chilling and cinematic sonorities ("Standing", "Missing"). The remix of "Crusty" by talnted Italian sound-artist Carlo Ascrizzi doesn't upset the delicate balance of "Inverse".
