A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark \u0026amp; uplifting in equal measure, '\u003cem\u003eHauntings\u003c\/em\u003e' is influenced by a nostalgia for the past \u0026amp; future \u0026amp; for things that didn't happen yet still manage to haunt the mind \u0026amp; soul. What is real \u0026amp; what is simulation? The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard \u0026amp; sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London \u0026amp; drifts into grainspeckled snapshots of Belle Epoque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, \"\u003cem\u003eTraveler\u003c\/em\u003e\" \u0026amp; \"\u003cem\u003eA New Simulation\u003c\/em\u003e\" bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work. Contrasting the sound designs \u0026amp; electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians \u003cstrong\u003eMorgan Agren\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums \u0026amp; percussion), \u003cstrong\u003ePercy Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass guitar) \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eLuca Calabrese\u003c\/strong\u003e (trumpet). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kscope","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Red Vinyl","offer_id":57447553401177,"sku":"SDZ-29462","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Richard_Barbieri_-_Hauntings_-_2LP_Red_Coloured_Vinyl_-_2026_Indies_Exclusive.jpg?v=1772647176","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/richard-barbieri-hauntings","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
