about

Blessing is the debut album of Jacopo Buda, an experimental musician whose research investigates the infinite possibilities given by the encounter between the trumpet sound and that of human voice through modular synths’ manipulation.
'Incanto', the opening song, immediately transports us into a narcotic and timeless dimension. Here, an ancient folk chant blends with an hypnotic and enveloping texture, kidnapping the listener into an ecstasy\hypnosis that could be imagined as a perfect soundtrack for a Tarkovsky’s movie scene.
The 2nd song, ‘Temple’, is a very short but emblematic composition - the pointillistic dissolution of the trumpet in this interlude prepares us to the exotic excursion of Hassellian memory that is 'Jungle’: a deep dive into shamanic sounds deeply influenced by african rhythms.
In 'Ritagli', the trumpet returns to its classic timbre and fills, with its warmth, the spaces traced by a technoid pattern which cyclically appears and disappears in a mesmerizing loop.
'Blessing', the title track, is a slow and mysterious ceremonial that reminds us of lynchian’s Twin Peaks scenarios and stands out as a true manifesto of Jacopo's work, between organic elements and electronic manipulation.
Closes the Album the bonus track ’Black Is’: recorded Live last February at Klang in Rome, the track is a dedication to the famous video art work by Aldo Tambellini.
