"Bringing a fresh sound to the Anticipate label, Italian multi-instrumentalist and sound sculptor Nicola Ratti sets out to transform the instantly familiar timbres of guitar and piano into something slightly more concealed and - as the label would have it - subtractive, meaning that certain elements of this language are removed, leaving a more vague, impressionistic approach to instrumentation. Add to this the understatement of Ratti's electroacoustic treatments and the end result is an absorbing and beautiful listen. This music is atmospheric in the most ambiguous sense, even on the comparatively upbeat, strummed processing of 'Coconut' there's a sense of emptiness lurking at the heart of it all, and the major key setting is more by implication than practice." www.boomkat.com
