Sven Wunder - Impasto / Prussian Blue (Original Soundtrack) - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

In collaboration with Piano Piano Records, Mr Bongo is thrilled to present a taster 7Inch single, 'Impasto' / 'Prussian Blue'. The single showcases the colourful palette of Sven Wunder's fabulous forthcoming third album 'Natura Morta'. The album is set to be released on Piano Piano Records later in 2021 with this 7Inch acting as the perfect prelude.Sven's 2019 album 'Eastern Flowers' took us into the world of Anatolian rock, European jazz, library, funk, psychedelia, and traditional folk melodies. The 2020 follow up, 'Wabi Sabi', mixed jazz and Eastern and Southern Asian sounds to present an aural aesthetic of the Japanese ancient wisdom. 'Natura Morta', Inchstill lifeInch in Italian, owes it's inspiration to art. Sven Wunder explores it as a bridge between nature and the human ability to judge and observe through eleven unique musical compositions, each one brightly coloured and textured with an emphasis on vibrant melodies.As with previous Sven Wunder material the tracks here on this 7Inch are covered in rich orchestration, evoking the rich musical soundscapes of a previous era (think library music or the film scores of Morricone). First up is the beautiful 'Impasto', which refers to the technique used in painting where the paint is laid in very thick layers on a surface. With it's lavish sweeping strings and melodies there are echoes of the arrangements of Arthur Verocai, but it then takes a turn into 60s detective movie territory. You can imagine it being the score to a scene in a Harry Palmer film which breaks for a romantic interlude in between the action and suspense. 'Prussian Blue', is built on Sven's 'Shinrinyoku' from the 'Wabi Sabi' album, sharing the same melody but here with an uptempo beat and another arrangement. It begins with a moment of calm with it's soothing piano intro before it bursts into a percussive breakbeat workout. It skates and glides wit
