Apollo Records<\/strong> present a masterpiece of ambience and beyond \u2013 \u201cCalypso<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 the stunning new album by Venetian maestro Gigi Masin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The LP is inspired by the mythical Greek island of Ogygia and its alleged real life counterpart Gavdos \u2013 also known unofficially as Calypso \u2013 a place of extreme beauty, which upon visiting had a profound effect on the musician.<\/p>\n

\u201cGavdos gives you profound sensations in every corner, as here you can find enchantment, mystery, the getting lost to forget, to erase and drown the memories in a light and salty water. A place new and ancient, between cedars that have seen exiles, pestilences, blood and desperation, isolation and abandonment, it\u2019s the absolute of a life that every heart in love seeks, desperately, in the arms of Calypso, divine among the goddesses. An infinite love, and the infinite horizon of our dreams\u201d, says Masin<\/strong>, eloquently.<\/p>\n

The aqueous and sky-filled vistas of his native Venice are deeply intrinsic, but the best and simplest way to describe \u201cCalypso<\/strong>\u201ds sound might simply be Aegean, as every track takes you directly and vividly there \u2013 to timeless Greek beauty, glistening seas, picturesque landscapes and the sun\u2019s bright, balmy heat.<\/p>\n

But, much more than just pleasant dapples of twinkling of audio balm, \u201cCalypso<\/strong>\u201d is music of the gods, goddesses and heroes, subliminally capturing all the celestial beauty, awe, romance and adventure of an epic saga.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalypso<\/strong>\u201d marks a new phase in Masin<\/strong>‘s musical evolution after re-releases and retrospectives on the Music From Memory label and new releases with the Gaussian Curve trio alongside Jonny Nash and Young Marco. Aptly released on Apollo<\/strong>, Masin<\/strong> joins a label who count other classics like Aphex Twin\u2019s \u2018Selected Ambient Works 85 – 92\u2019, plus Biosphere\u2019s \u2018Microgravity\u2019 and \u2018Patashnik\u2019 in its catalogue.<\/p>\n

Climbing in incremental steps to the pantheon\u2019s summit, Masin <\/strong>now is close to reaching his rightful place alongside giants like Brian Eno, Laurie Spiegel, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tangerine Dream and Midori Takada.<\/p>\n
