EDITOR'S PICK AT CD BABY.
THEIR REVIEW.........
Good filmic music will generally fill you with a sense of place. But
rarely does it invite the listener to inhabit several worlds at once.
Toronto composer Edgardo Moreno has created an instrumental album that
is comfortable with its own contradictions and colliding influences.
The sound is cold and glacial, and yet it steams with the warmth of a
barren desert expanse. It pulses like the buzzing streets that twist
beneath a city of glass and neon, and yet it feels as placid and
serene as a summer picnic in the forest of dreams. Each piece centers
on trance inducing acoustic guitar patterns. But the meditative effect
is tempered by tasteful counterpoint of syncopated, minimalist
electric guitar figures that would make Steve Reich and Philip Glass
proud. Moreno also introduces enough varied textures and instruments
(Hawaiian slide and slack key guitar, charango arpeggios, synth and
cymbal swells, coily Afro-Pop guitar tones, and miniature, crystalline
electro-beats) to lend an exploratory feel to these restrained tunes.
“Travelling Guitars” is similar to the Eno/Byrne masterpiece “My
Life in the Bush of Ghosts” in that they are both imaginary
soundtracks with sweeping cinematic feel, but without having to
subordinate the music to any moving images. Instead, you’re left to
create the movie in your mind.

Was spiritually born in a cross fire coup detat. The child of music,
politics and tragic revolutionary dreams. Loudly banging on tables
and chairs from an early age his parents failed to see the potential
noise that was emerging and told him to be quiet. Only much later
was this energy channeled into music. Now there is little in the way
and his compositions are a mix of influences and styles that only he
understands.
He writes extensively for film, television, modern dance and theatre.

Yo edgardo morenoasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.

Hello friend like these. After making my vacation I'm back. Greeting you with a big hug and all the best for you. Thank you for being part of your friends. Greetings from Chile.
Thanks for the kind comment. Sorry for the delay, but I've been putting the final touches on the debut record. It's up now on itunes and amazon (amiestreet, rhapsody, etc.) There are 2 sides: Sink and Fall. "Sink" is more pop and electronic; "Fall" is more punk and country. We appreciate all your support. Have a happy MWU year
