sergionoir I had the privilege to listen in preview this new album of Lorenzo Montanà. Perfectly produced tracks, with meticulous arrangements and top-notch sound design. Very interesting the idea to mix jazzy elements with ambient and IDM. In some moments the record sounds like Japan, of the "Tin Drum" era, crossed path with Telefon Tel Aviv! A masterpiece!

about

Lorenzo Montanà is an Italian soundtrack composer, sound engineer, and producer with a prolific career spanning decades. Vion is his 29th full-length album and marks his first solo effort for the Oakland-based emotive electronics outpost n5MD. Montanà's musical journey began in the 90s, and he has produced and arranged over 40 albums across various genres, including electronic, ambient, leftfield, jazz, classical, and rock.

Vion started as an exploration of jazz brush drum patterns, evolving into a rich tapestry of experimental electronica motifs and percolating ambiance. Montanà's signature motion-filled compositions are evident throughout the album, characterized by ever-evolving details and a sense of lightness juxtaposed with melancholic tonality.

Montanà's discography includes his debut solo album 'Black Ivy' (2009), the 5-CD Labyrinth collaboration series with Pete Namlook on Namlook's FAX label, and rewarding collaborative releases with artists like Namlook, Yamaoka, ILUITEQ, and Alio Die for the Projekt label. His work as a soundtrack composer has been featured in trailers for notable films such as The Hunger Games 1 & 2, Blade Runner 2049, and Coriolanus.

Vion will be released on May 31st on transparent red vinyl, showcasing Montanà's continued exploration and innovation in the electronic music landscape.

===================================================

IT

"Vion" segna il 29esimo album completo a portare la firma del compositore italiano di colonne sonore, ingegnere e produttore Lorenzo Montanà. Questo è il suo primo lavoro solista per la rinomata etichetta di elettronica emotiva con sede a Oakland, n5MD. L'ispirazione di "Vion" nasce dall'esigenza di Montanà di sperimentare con schemi di percussioni jazz a spazzola. Progressivamente, l'album ha preso forma con ulteriori esplorazioni che hanno ampliato la sua palette stilistica, includendo sperimentazioni elettroniche e un'atmosfera multicolore. Il dinamismo è una costante in tutta la produzione di Montanà; i dettagli sono in continua evoluzione, raramente statici. Le percussioni a spazzola e la produzione leftfield si integrano armoniosamente, conferendo a "Vion" un'aria di leggerezza in contrasto con la sua leggera malinconia. Con "Vion", Montanà si è spinto oltre le sue più recenti incursioni ambientali, offrendo una panoramica della sua produzione musicale elettronica fino a oggi.
