BJM Mario Bajardi - Inverse Ep by ONDE Electronic Contents published on 2014-05-22T08:29:39Z His music and sound composition approach is constantly evolving as seen in the case of Metamorph an electro-acoustic and designed sound library Mario coproduced for Twisted Tools. His Inverse EP will be his second EP for ONDE following last years Glass Orchestra EP and his debut album Archives which was released in 2012.Inverse opens with Rest featuring vocalist Eleze who has previously released on Ministry of Sound and Ego. The intro is awash with ambient textures as a gentle piano and Elezes crystalline voice float on the surface of the background swells. The female vocals and ambient textures bring to mind Bonobo's recent tracks with the vocalist Szjerdene. The high comparison continues on the following track Standing which was taken from a theatrical soundtrack, for Riccardo III W. Shakespeare which was composed and produced by Mario in 2013. The pizzicato strings and long wavering notes rise and fall together before fading away into Interlude which opens with a snippet of natural recordings. Cinematic swelling strings then morph into electronic pulses and waves before the two intertwine.Drawing from a wide range of influences gives Mario a broad palette of inspiration to draw from. He lists some of his own influences as composers like Bach, bands like The Cure and fellow film scorers such as Hans Zimmer. His cinematic approach can be found on Crusty which opens with what sounds like a field recording of faint sounds of the city. It then builds and swells with the same emotion found on Jon Hopkins Mercury Music Prize nominated album Immunity. Crusty then progresses into an industrial style breakdown before bursting back into the light and back to life with Marios signature strings.Inverse features glitchy electronic pulses with an array of buzzing sounds flitting around the track - sinister low synth rumble before being joined by a burst of background strings which break through the futuristic white noise. Inverses chaotic use of electronic sounds is reminiscent of Luke Abbotts recent releases on the Border Community label. Missing then closes the EP with plucked strings and fast strokes of the violins bow creating a tension building that creates an evocative and cinematic final track.Sound artist and producer, Carlo Ascrizzi, creates a slow burning remix of Crusty which introduces dark skittering drums and glitches, deconstructing and stripping away the brightest elements; switching the mood of the track from midday to midnight. His interpretation gives us intricate and complex sound textures, reminiscent to his sonic worksMarios sheer talent shines through in his music which balances elegant electronics with evocative natural instrumentation. His experience of composing for film gives his music a cinematic feel with textures overlapping and sounds floating in from all angles. His years of hard work have led to this expertly realised body of work. BJM Mario Bajardis Inverse EP is one of this years most accomplished and impressive collections of music.
