Painted with the ethereal wilderness of surrealism, Cataldo Cappiello brings his best with his unique music. This artist is not only someone who enjoys all genres, but takes away an essence from them that guide his music. There is a collage of styles, yet you can feel the imprint of his fingerprint. This one is called Taiga.
The focused, narrator styled opening grabs your attention. It is just the piano, the atmosphere and you. Cataldo Cappiello tailors the music to the event, and this instantly teleports you. Phrasings make you muse at the wonder around, the gilded picturesque moment you have been gently guided to. Cataldo studies the music as passing moments, composing it with a clear vision in mind. This is why the chorus has the impact it does, a sensory dive into so many different instrumental sensibilities. He isn’t focusing on the moment as a composer alone, but as narrator, protagonist and synthesised environment. The result is a breathtaking display of compositional mastery.
His album A Tale of Vanishing is incredible to listen to, the kind of stories he is able to conjure. You can listen to songs like Jade Coast and Caress as well, his collaborations are fascinating to hear unfold. Listen to Cataldo Cappiello with Taiga here and make sure you follow him on his socials!:
