Federico Albanese - Blackbirds and the Sun of October

Between past and present, between reality and imagination, between memory and recollection. The pieces on Federico Albanese's astonishing new album "Before And Now Seems Infinite" capture - and inhabit - moments and passages in time; fusions of neoclassical and electronic sounds with hints of jazz and avant-garde pop, inspired by memories and the suggestion that, in the words of French writer Marcel Proust, "the memory of things past is not necessarily the memory of things as they were."

Ultimately, "Before And Now Feels Infinite" is not only a beautiful and haunting collection of memories (and reflection on them), but also a portrait of the artist in his many layers of emotion and experience - with a new memory; and at the same time Albanese's most profound and beautiful album to date. And last but not least, a signpost to a future full of new memories and new musical possibilities.
