It is never too late to discover albums that hide a certain fascination about them, even if the albums in question might have been released some time ago.
Our website stumbled in a very interesting record called Sottili Polveri (Thin Dusts) released back at the end of 2021 from the Italian Synth-Phenomenon Giorgio Ricci, a.k.a. Templezone, who has made his name in Italy and several European countries in the last decade, especially, thanks to an highly thrilling and sometimes impenetrable sonic pastiche that combines Electronica and 90's Trip-Hop with layers of Ambient, Jazz or even Industrial-Rock, at times.

One of the best sides of Jazz, as a genre, it is that it can move very fast to unexpected directions, due to its freedom of expression and the power of going off tangent at every stage of a composition or an improvisation and still sounding great.
Moreover, Jazz has been among the very few genres that has moved on since its very beginning, where the improvisational skills of a musician or a composer were defined as Avant-Garde, an expression that is commonly used still today to define someone that is willing to experiment with music without following a certain structure but just by following their instinct and talent.

One of the most intriguing and highly fascinating sonic mash-up in American music history of the last half century, it is what is called by many as American Desert Music, where Folk, Desert Music of Arabic roots, Bluegrass and Blues merge together in a perhaps unorthodox (to music's purists) but undoubtedly effective style.
American Desert Music, through its shape, allows music artists to build personalized sound structures of different nature using as their basis instruments like banjo or mandolin, sounds that also help said artist to shape their songwriting and their vocal deliveries at the same time in a very unique and yet very evocative way.
