Concetta Abbate – “LAMINARIA”

Loving a new album is a joy, and let me tell you, I adore “LAMINARIA” by Concetta Abbate. This haunting folk horror chamber music suite is not just any collection of tunes, it’s a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of deep emotion and the complexities of the human psyche. This album, a follow-up to Abbate’s critically acclaimed “Mirror Touch“, explores the nuances of mental health and trauma through a synesthetic blend of film genre and orchestration that is downright revolutionary. The addition of hand-built instruments and an ensemble of uniquely voiced musicians, including a singing French horn player and string players, creates a soundscape that feels as though you’re navigating the very depths of the ocean. Abbate’s bold venture into translating folk horror into music results in a composition that is as profound as it is poignant.

The intricate dance of orchestrated motifs and improvisations in “LAMINARIA” invites listeners into a world where art confronts and plays with the most secluded of emotions. I urge you to dive deep into this mesmerizing album and let its powerful currents sweep you away.
