Description:
Urban Impressionism is the matching folio of the eponymous new recording project by Italian composer, producer and pianist Dardust. He once again challenges the conventions of neoclassical/contemporary music and does so, as is his wont, by breaking down the boundaries between the arts, uniting music and architecture, harmonising contrasts but starting from new sources of inspiration. On the one hand, the architectural geometries of urban suburbs, from brutalism to post-modernism, which in music are translated into genuine expressions, forged without recourse to embellishments or production artifices; on the other, the rapid brushstrokes of pictorial impressionism, reflected in his approach to composition. Dardust explores new urban scenarios through journeys and sound recordings in the suburbs of different cities and does so by modelling himself on the Impressionists' ability to paint scenes of modern life in the open air, depicting reality subjectively and emphasising personal and immediate perception rather than precision detail.
