    A selection from the album CD Subliminal Pulse - releasd by Spotted Peccary - U.S.A.

    by John Shanahan - Hypnagogue http://hypnagogue.net/
    Bruno Sanfilippo continues his run of excellent CDs with his latest release, Subliminal Pulse. Sanfilippo's tour this time moves through nine tracks that follow a soul-pleasing path of reducing themselves slightly in complexity as they go, from the starlight shimmer and mathematical rhythm of "The Third Geometry" down to the prayer-like sighs of "Mantram." Within that framework each piece stands on its own, but the whole still carries a strongly unified feel, an unwavering continuation of intent. The difference in tracks comes off as less of a change of direction than the way the mind courses from one thought to the next, taking up an idea and moving off with it. The centerpiece here is the 14-minute "Intrinsic Fluctuations," a thoughtful landscape of sound that keeps folding in on itself to find new identities. It passes through quiet spaces, spacey quietude, shadowy moments and the border of rhythm (with some nicely understated percussion), each transformation modestly making itself noticeable. My problem in trying to write this review has been that every track borders on being too lovely for words; they simply must be heard. "Santa Luminosa" has a hint of gypsy violin mourning through its sad song. The title track begins with a music-box-type melody and gently builds from there as misty washes ease in at the edges. It feels like remembering. "Pulsum Sacrum" will absolutely carry you off with it, a slow-breath drift centered by two repeated sets of three notes-one set rising, the other falling, both carrying, as the title suggests, a sacred-music feel. This is a deep prayer for the soul, and a balm for the mind. Loop just this track and you may be setting yourself up for a religious experience. As always, Sanfilippo's mastery of sound textures enriches the experience of each track. Deep, focused listening reaps incredible rewards and opens entirely different worlds. Quite simply one of the best CDs of 2011 so far, and definitely a Hypnagogue Highly Recommended CD.

    Por Roberto Vales - A Ultima Fronteira Radio
    Bruno Sanfilippo es un músico que ya no necesita presentación, es uno de esos nombres reconocidos por su estilo y por su buen saber hacer,
    que siempre nos deleita con sus trabajos, que siempre nos hace sentir con su música.
    "Subliminal Pulse" es su nuevo trabajo y la primera y gran sorpresa, es que no está publicado por su sello de toda la vida, sino que da un salto más en su carrera y está publicado por Spotted Peccary Music, uno de las grandes referencias de la música Electrónica Ambient de la actualidad.
    La otra sorpresa, es que el compositor, abandona por unos momentos el piano para retornar a los sonidos electrónicos, a los ambientes subterráneos, a las atmósferas envolventes,...
    Nueve composiciones son las que nos encontramos en este trabajo, un disco lleno de bellas texturas electrónicas, de preciosos paisajes musicales que poco a poco te van atrapando, te van envolviendo en su sonido de forma que no eres capaz de separarte de él. En este trabajo vuelve a estar presente elementos electrónicos, samplers y sonidos a los que no nos tenía acostumbrados en sus últimos trabajos, pero demuestra, que no se ha olvidado y es que además de un grandísimo pianista, es una grandísimo compositor.
    Bruno siempre ha demostrado un especial saber hacer para crear esos paisajes sonoros y en esta ocasión, no es una excepción, sus bellos sonidos vuelven a estar presentes, su delicadeza musical es embriagadora, es sin lugar a dudas uno de los grandes creadores de paisajes musicales de la actualidad.
    Resulta muy complicado destacar algún tema de este trabajo, todas ellos forman parte de este conjunto, de este poema, de este pulso subliminal y nada mejor que dejarse llevar, dejarse sumergir en el mundo de la música de Bruno Sanfilippo, un creador de paisajes sonoros, un creador de sueños.
