Bleep

London based Kowloon Records present florestano- producer and multi-instrumentalist Leonardo Salvaro. Having grown up in Verona, there is a rich traditionalism to Salvaro’s experimentally-driven sound which is present across the entirety of his debut. Opener Broken Mp3 juxtaposes a siren-like synth wail with a stripped back chord sequence provided by Salvaro’s own piano. This neo-classical approach is what makes the florestano sound so applicable to cinema or theatre. There is a pathos and heart to his compositions which seeps through on every phrase. A synergy of analogue and digital which is also achieved by visionaries like Nils Frahm and Kiasmos.
