After exploring environmental themes in his latest album H2O, inspired by the movements of water across our planet, composer and keyboardist Corciolli delves even deeper into the realms of electronic and ambient music with his new project, SONGS OF DUST AND SHADOW. In this work, the artist revisits sonic memories that blend nostalgia with experimentation, drawing inspiration from 1970s electronic music, particularly the Berlin school. Characterized by hypnotic, atmospheric, and minimalist sequential patterns, the compositions unveil a refined set of textures, offering an organic immersive experience while allowing space for improvisations that evoke a sense of timelessness.

Although the tracks feature dominant melodic lines, with occasional revisitations of previously recorded works, rhythmic pulses reminiscent of Krautrock and the extensive use of electronic sequencers are frequently present, serving as key elements in the arrangements. Combining analog and virtual instruments freely, Corciolli seeks to harness the best of both worlds. Though instrumental, the music tells multiple stories through open-ended narratives that connect with each listener’s personal experiences. No two listening experiences are ever the same.

With an impressive career that includes over 2 million albums sold and 400 million global streams, Corciolli has established himself as a pioneering figure, breaking through the boundaries of the Brazilian market and popularizing ambient, world music, and classical crossover genres. His music continues to evolve, blending timeless influences with contemporary sounds and offering listeners a constantly transforming musical universe.
