Emphasis

A magical EP by Antonio Arcieri.

“Emphasis” is based on a real-life experiment. In the last few years, I’ve made it a point to capture every one of my improvisational shows. I was able to extract the melodies and harmonies that made the audience more emotionally connected by listening to the recordings again. Emphasis is a work that results from the audience’s unintentional interaction with the artist.

Be quiet. It’s a lullaby” is a song inspired by many moments of lightness I experienced during concerts when I was one with the instrument, the environment, and the audience. This music is made up of a compilation of these moments that have been layered on top of each other.

Dancing Lights is a song that has captivated audiences who have listened to it at all stages of its creation in performances. People seemed to be relaxed by its repeating structure and little acoustic interferences, which I detected.
Dark Crystal Palace is a song that was born out of necessity. It was necessary to study melody, distortion, and their blend in depth.
After tripping on a mountain path, I wrote Slow Downhill. Maybe I would have appreciated it more if I could have slowed down in that moment.
