Electro-ambient<\/strong>\u00a0music made of synths, piano and drums for\u00a0a deep inner journey through physical and mental space of the listener. This is\u00a0Nebula<\/em><\/strong>, the new album by\u00a0Pulsar<\/strong>,\u00a0the audiovisual solo project of the electronic musician and drummer\u00a0Leonardo Pucci<\/strong>, to be released on vinyl and digital on\u00a0April 8th, 2022<\/strong>\u00a0via\u00a0Rous Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the Italian composer, based in Foligno: “The album is called\u00a0<\/em>Nebula, and it was written and recorded between March 2020 and June 2021 during the period of lockdown, while we all felt lost, floating beings in limbo. The writing for this album was inspired by these sensations, and I wanted to describe them through a journey inside a nebula. Initially overwhelmed by the beauty of the giant molecular cloud and its cosmic elements, your thoughts move to something more familiar, the Earth. Through primordial memories, the waves, the clouds, the wind, you realize that there is nothing more beautiful than our planet, and that is why we must respect and preserve it<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Nebula<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>is a record characterized by a strong duality, starting from its title with a double meaning, relative to both that of nebula and that of cloud: the first three pieces in the tracklist, with a more electronic imprinting, are related to Space, while the next five were created starting mainly from acoustic instruments and a more melodic approach, placing themselves in proximity to an imaginary connected to the Earth.<\/p>\n

Former drummer of Espada and Danny Mellow, as well as one of the founders of the Holydays Festival, Pucci started his solo project\u00a0Pulsar<\/strong>\u00a0in 2015, when he developed his passion for electronic music and synths, as well as for a certain type of sound language similar to names such as \u00d3lafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and Rival Consoles.\u00a0Nebula<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0follows the more rhythmic debut album\u00a0Empty<\/em>\u00a0– released at the end of 2018, always by the independent label Rous Records, managed by a collective of musicians that includes Pucci himself – and presents itself as a more thoughtful and at the same time softer, lighter and more enveloping work,\u00a0thanks to live experiences and the use of the acoustic piano that pushes everything in a\u00a0modern classical<\/strong>\u00a0direction. This time all the tracks were recorded with real instruments and effects, gravitating with a “human” sound around the electro-ambient satellite but also floating on psychedelia and Kosmische Musik, progressive and free jazz influences. “I have always liked to think of music as a means of communicating what otherwise I would not be able to express with words. My records are the transposition of my sensations into music, as if they were the soundtrack of what goes through my head<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Nebula<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0was entirely written and performed by Pucci, with the participation of\u00a0Laura Agnusdei<\/strong>\u00a0on the saxophone in three tracks, including the title track chosen as\u00a0first single<\/strong>. The brand new second single\u00a0Distant Waves<\/strong><\/em>, available\u00a0today\u00a0March 25th<\/strong>, is\u00a0the first track that was written for the album and is also the one that then guided the full creative flow. The song begins with a synth texture that sounds like the waves and intensifies more and more until it leads to a hypnotic 80s-style arpeggio. The video of this track, featuring the dancer\u00a0Veronica Biondini<\/strong>, was shot and edited by Pulsar. \u00a0“Combining music and dance was an experiment. I believe that my music is related to images and that dance as an expression of the body is very close to what I try to convey with sound. Also, I enjoyed collaborating with other artists, and find out how they would react to my compositions<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Sound astronaut, and architect and designer in his everyday life,\u00a0Pulsar<\/strong>\u00a0has even created by himself the artwork of the record, adding geometric stylizations to some satellite photos. “The leitmotif of my project is Space, intended as an attractive journey into the unknown. The name Pulsar refers to a neutron star that emits electromagnetic radiation: the pulsations generated from its rotation are transformed also in sound. My first album\u00a0<\/em>Empty, which also contained some sounds made available by NASA, was the start of this journey, and\u00a0<\/em>Nebula\u00a0is now developing it. Will it continue? Will there be an end? Probably yes, but I don’t know yet – we’ll find out<\/em>“.<\/em><\/p>\n
