*200 copies limited edition* Open to the Sea, an eclectic music project led by Enrico Coniglio, Matteo Uggeri, and Saverio Rosi, returns with a new album, guiding the listener into a world of delicate intimacy, where sound is but a glimmer of light that seeps beneath the surface of the sea. With "Ten Rooms Under the Sea," we travel through the rooms of time, guided by melancholy but with no risk of falling into genre stereotypes. This album definitively celebrates the collaboration between Enrico and Saverio, who exchange audio tracks remotely, giving birth to fragments of recordings that are later deciphered, translated, and assembled by Matteo, in a working method that has become customary within the trio.
"Ten Rooms Under the Sea" is an ode to eclecticism, an auditory immersion that combines disparate musical elements in a delicate interweaving of guitars, piano notes, synth arpeggios, and vocal samples. It is never over the top, never excessive, and never predictable. One of the album's brightest gems is the inclusion of King George VI's "king's speech," which adds a touch of melancholy to the already rich soundscape that sparks the imagination. These are melodies for empty days, like rooms imagined beneath the sea, with bare walls, but ready to fill with memories, regrets, desires, and even humor at the touch of play.
