Milan’s mutant chamber pop composer Heith traverses wormholes of Italian renaissance music, trip hop and future AI folk-pop in the uncanny otherworlds of their 2nd album for PAN.
The past informs the present in diffracted waves of inspiration on ‘Escape Lounge’, whose imaginative explorations of generic downbeat and etheric interstices expand on ideas registered with 2022’s ‘X, wheel’. Its dozen parts feel out sepulchral recesses of contemporary atmospheric musick where prog, folk, 4th world jazz and classical feed into pop and ambient via the slippery prisms of up-to-the-moment software and mindsets that chime with PAN's roster of influential outsiders.
Daniele Huerrini aka Heith notably now heads up his own electro-acoustic ensemble, writing for and producing the likes of Alexander Izzi (drums), Aase Nielsen (saxophone), and Leonardo Rubboli (flute), who supply rich instrumental colour and timbres to the ringleader’s electronics, as heard in a lead single of fluttering vocoder and chamber jazz licks locked to ruggedest downstrokes, ‘You In Reverse’, and teased out into stranger permutations as the album unfolds.
Also inflected with possible return influence of working with Kareem Lofty as Ghost Lemurs on his Haunter label, Heith persists in stretching electronic music conventions between the breakcore-sparked AI trip hop prayer ‘The Scrollkeeper’, thru the genteel slosh of ECM and Hassell-skooled ambient on ‘I Am a Strange Loop’, with its most attractive moments found in the 2nd half’s sequence of a curdled trip hop ace ’23 Shifting’ recalling Laszlo Hórtóbagyi, into crafty drum programming on ‘Come, Sweet’ reminding of M.E.S.H. metamorphosis to Hesaitix, and the saccharine ’00s folktronica meets prog in ‘Awoken by a Lamp.
