Artist: Gianfranco Pescetti: Bass, keyboard and programming
Music Video: ‘Sundog;’ Released: May 25, 2024
Creating a profoundly personal and evocative sound in order to share a diverse range of emotions highlights the true ability of a versatile musician. Gianfranco Pescetti is one such artists who’s able to do just that, without conforming to the rigid specifications of a particular genre. The musician, who regularly defies labels in his work, is sharing his passionate sentiments through his latest album, ‘Daystar Nocturnal,’ which is first full-length release in nearly a decade.
The 10-track electronic record, which showcases Pescetti’s fondness for synths in all their forms, takes inspiration from his previous LPs. He has honed the craft of covering almost all the EDM beat structures that fuel the current genre. That skill is a testament to his success of incorporating his feelings first, and then the genre second model, into his songs.
‘Sundog,’ the fourth entry on ‘Daystar Nocturnal,’ is serving as the project’s latest single. The tune emphasizes how the artist is once again challenging the expectation of what the beats are meant to sound like in his music.
Driven by an ambient melody, ‘Sundog’s video is illuminated by a mesmerizing performance by dancer Archer Rose. Pescetti’s intricate EDM and dance flavors, which delve into the intricate interplay between light and darkness, guide Rose’s contemporary dance routine.
Pescetti’s sound throughout the track features a mesmerizing fusion of chillwave vibes and downtempo facet that’s reminiscent of such electronic-new wave bands as Depeche Mode and The Cure. The resulting emotive and meditative synth ambient tones on ‘ ‘Sundog’s instrumentation create a profoundly personal and evocative sound.
Much like its fellow songs on ‘Daystar Nocturnal,’ ‘Sundog’ is a carefully crafted blend of ambient textures, electronic beats and emotive melodies. The vibrant single and its accompanying video, which thrive on its electronic dance elements, explore the depth of Pescetti’s emotions without conforming to the rigid specifications of any particular genre.
The tune, which toggles between light, melodic elements and serious soundscapes, challenges the norm by embracing the fluidity of the artist’s music. Much like Rose’s dance routine in ‘Sundog’s video, Pescetti emphasizes the tension that exists between the instrumentation’s opposing forces.
