English ambient electronic composer Pia Silvi debuted with a collection of
songs and instrumentals, Atmosferiks (2002).
Virtually Handsewn (2008) offers 13 more fragments of her delicate art.
After the ethereal instrumental overture (Intro from a Night in Crakow),
thicker electronic sheen and loud beats envelop Surf People.
The crystal tones of her voice intone the ballad A Boy And A River in a spectral soundscape of discreet percussion and mournful electronics.
Shifting mood again, the witchy Cipher indulges in exotic drumming and free-form chanting.
A Night In Crakow and Laguna Lunar explore different ways to produce soothing ambient music, whereas Ted's Green Roof dabbles in heavily-arranged dance-pop music
I Scared marks one of the emotional peaks: an industrial loop creates a sinister rhythm with which Silvi's oneiric vocals engage a dialogue by sampling the spectrum that runs from Ennio Morricone to Sinead O'Connor.
Ombra (2009) contains elegiac pieces such as
A Boy And A River,
Qui Primum,
Adagio for a Rainy Day.
