Ends

Description

Ends is the first solo album by Giancarlo Erra, frontman and main composer of the post-rock collective Nosound. On his first solo album Ends, Giancarlo Erra demonstrates a masterful talent for producing timeless, intimate, and deeply moving music. Composed of a suite of eight instrumental pieces, Ends unfolds sparse piano motifs among various synth textures, string quartets of strange beauty, and subtle electronic pulses to create a fascinating whole that makes Erra a composer with a rare sensitivity and a singular objective. Ends presents a connected series of sound reveries that shift and build in unexpected and often heartbreaking ways, reminiscent of the contemporary classical miniatures of Arvo Pärt and Max Richter, the soundtracks of Nils Frahm and Clint Mansell, and the electronica of Roedelius and Schulze. Based entirely on classical music and 100% instrumental, Ends is an exciting new chapter in the musical direction of the talented multi-instrumentalist and composer.
