This new release takes his music somewhere that\u2019s both consistent with those pursuits and pushing the boundaries of his styles. Wholly instrumental, <i>Humanbeing<\/i> is an album of gentle soundscapes, often realized using electronic instruments yet wonderfully organic in its realization. The music does indeed have a soundtrack feel, but not in any kind of a stagey way. The six tracks \u2013 each titled using a single evocative word like \u201cFlesh,\u201d Blood,\u201d \u201cLiver\u201d and so on \u2013 have feel that might suggest to some listeners the aural components of Nordic noir television like <i>The Killing<\/i>, <i>Wallander<\/i>, and <i>The Bridge<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The stasis of some of the tracks is entrancing and meditative, never boring. This is fascinating music that deserves a close listen. And see if you don\u2019t find (as I did0 that the titles correspond quite closely to the particular ambiance found in each of the tracks. \u201cBlood\u201d does sound like the kind of music you\u2019d expect to hear while visual images of blood pumping through veins and arteries are displayed on screen during some kind of PBS <i>Nova<\/i> science special. Fascinating stuff indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rossano Baldini has a background in soundtrack work and scoring as well as jazz.
