Leaving our imaginations on overdrive with heavily ambient storylines, composer Mattia Cupelli is ready to officially unveil his album RUINS via MC Records. Several years in the making, this album has been his most experimental work to date and will be any ambient music lovers kryptonite without a doubt. This album shares the producer’s thoughts about humanity, time and space. Although lacking words for context, the song title for each track is a fair giveaway of the storyline the composer wanted to convey.

Starting off on a sinister note with the track ‘MONOLITH’, we are introduced to an ominous atmosphere with a somewhat divinely nostalgic effect that will have you wondering about periods before our existence. Following that the track ‘EGERIA’ takes a softer and more lively approach with its direction, yet the ominous energy still exists which pulls this album together. Going down the list we are enchanted by delicately ambient offerings ‘CHANT’ and ‘IRIS’ which are a nice contrast from the textures of the other tracks. 

RUINS is a definite change from Cupelli’s previous work, but we are not mad at it. He gives us an emotionally rich listening experience as we form our own unique narrative with the source material we are given. If you actually think about it, we are left to be creative with our own imaginations as we picture characters and adventures of yesteryear. Mattia Cupelli is a musical wizard.
