Lost Tribe Sound Not that I doubt the greatness of anything that Shimmering Moods puts out, but holy balls, this one caught me by surprise. Was not expecting that beautiful finger-picked guitar, bathed in the most melancholic waves of static and synths one could ask for! It's as if GAS retired to the coast of Spain or Italy, and took up classical guitar. Lovely! Favorite track: Melody not Melody.

about

In Light not Light, as the titles suggest, each track could be, or not be, each draws a scenario where the listener is the subject, and the composer has already completed his task.
The sound, too, comes from an instrument (classical guitar) that is no longer itself, shaped and transformed by electronics into its future projection. Sometimes you can find traces of natural sounds, as if to preserve a connection with the original idea, sometimes I inserted some field recordings, as little suggestions.

Federico Mosconi

Fluid Radio review by Mick Buckingham:

The final release is perhaps the true enigma of them all, combining finger-picked classical guitar with layers of amniotic noise from the sound technician Federico Mosconi. Collaborating with the KrysaliSound label boss Francis M.Gri on a recent limited album, I was very pleased by the sounds offered to me and how Mosconi’s sound has compacted and matured like a cheese kiln. This record, titled “Light Not Light”, takes the concept of two different meanings for the same word, or two different inferences at least, and along with the guitar and noise duality, creates that altruism in sound almost perfectly. A criticism could be the album is too short, because this feels like the stuff my dreams are made of, and once I went for it, it was all gone. Still, you can gather from my excess of two hundred critiques on this site that anything I do criticise must be very special indeed.
