GIANFRANCO MALORGIO
Gianfranco Malorgio’s latest single, Dark Nights is indeed an impressive demonstration of his cross-genre skills, bringing together sound and style that is both familiar yet new. Being a gypsy jazz and classical guitar connoisseur, it is no wonder that Malorgio lives on this fascinating song.
The song is emphasized with full, emotional, and atmospherical arrangements complementing the pieces of the Dark Nights. This is inevitable because the piece is pictorial like one would imagine it and perhaps this is a certification of Malorgio’s years of creating scores and music’s for films, some of which are award winning. The range of sound created from the delicate strumming the strings and husky ambient noises demonstrates suffocating rawness that his pieces possess.
In Dark Nights, what is certainly remarkable is Malorgio’s ability to develop the ambience of the piece in such a manner so as to tell a story without lyrics being present. The composition is carried beautifully, and somewhat invites the listeners to a space of contemplation and serene beauty.
For those who’ve been captivated by his works for a long time, and also for first-time readers, Dark Nights is an altogether new, yet somehow déjà vu experience. It is one of such arrangements which can be certainly a delight to those who love jazz, classic and modern music genres. Make sure to listen to it wherever you usually stream music!
