A dynamic ambient-driven spell emanates from “Lulla By – [Modulo#5 Vs.],” a single released today from Italian composer and sound designer Guido Affini. Also excelling in the fields of contemporary art, sound installations, and other productions throughout his career, Affini melds an array of musical influences — including post-rock, drone, free jazz, and noise — within artistic tendencies for gripping atmospheric exploration across his musical works. This track also features the guitar work of friend and collaborator Federico Fantuz, and was created specifically for a show by the ballet theater company Balletto Civile / Michela Lucenti.
Spacey, illuminated textures pair with serenely clanging guitars for an immersive introduction. The glimmering result builds with enjoyable momentum into rhythmic hints as the two-minute turn approaches; a ghostly faintness takes firm hold here, and then cohesively arises into arp-y synth momentum. A renewed vigor enamors across the production’s second half. The rise enthralls from serene intrigue into powerful, heady synth ruminations with intensifying charisma. “Lulla By – [Modulo#5 Vs.]” is a wholly satiating, atmospheric treat from Guido Affini.
