FAUX NATUREL FIRST REVIEW @ VITAL WEEKLY Nº 1363 _ 29.11.2022

Faux Naturel my recently released [14.11.2022] solo soundscape composition album by Unfathomless, got its first review by VITAL WEEKLY. Here's an excerpt of the review, to read the entire review check it @ VITAL WEEKLY Nº 1363
"I believe Pinto does a great job in these eight pieces, that act as one long piece of music. His processing is just enough, his sound choice is excellent, and his editing is superb. The soundscape takes you from nature into the city, and from then, it slowly alienates the listener. [...] I am told that Pinto works with surround sound installation pieces, and I can imagine that it works very well with this kind of delicate music based on field recordings. Also, in 'just' stereo, Pinto knows how to create tension and atmosphere. An excellent release. (FdW)"
