Creative compositions and impressive musicianship

“Short Stories, Infinite Corridors” by the artistic Sebastian Lorefice is a spell-binding collection of epic electronic soundscapes. The musicianship on this CD is very impressive. “Soldier,” the opening track, sets a perfect theatrical mood for the rest of this CD. Perhaps the most compelling part of these tunes is their ever-changing structure – changes in tempo, driving instruments, drum arrangements, and emotional atmospheres progress seamlessly and effortlessly! “Espionage” perfectly illustrates Sebastian’s skill for creating music that conjures up a specific mental image. This track appropriately radiates a dark atmosphere of mystery, conspiracy, and secrecy. Even more impressive is this CD’s quality production! Fans of electronica, jazz, ambient, and instrumental music will loose themselves in this mystic adventure!

author: Latest Recordings
Sebastian Lorefice’s latest recording venture utilizes cutting edge studio technology to present his unique hybrid of fusion, Latin, soul and electronic sound scapes. The opening track gives a good indication of the composer’s craft. "Soldier" is a stunning journey through time and space interweaving sculptured synthesizers, yearning guitar fusion, orchestral brass sonorities and ruminating piano over a haunting siren chorus. Other tracks exhibit similar narrative qualities; the bouncy funk of "Street Gangs", the unravelling explorations of "Espionage", the textured architecture of "Shaolin Temple" or the get down, soul groove with unexpected twists of "Water Slide". The meticulous attention to detail in production values is reflected in the drum programming alone on such tracks as "UFO". Overall this is a CD worthy of repeated listening by one of the most original and eclectic voices over the ether.
