Sergg, a digital music artist from
Brooklyn, New York City, has released his most recent official record
album, an extended play production titled, “Purgatorio.” The
album features three all new and original tracks for a total running
time of approximately eight minutes long, but the effect of
“Purgatorio” lasts for hours after listening.
“Purgatorio” is unlike most modern
digital music releases in that its feel is very ambient while
remaining direct. Sergg's use of cellos, single piano keys and casual
drums played extremely layed back, and infrequent choruses of brass,
combined with his brilliant use of space between chords, create an
atmosphere darker than a mist blown midnight in a bayou swamp – and
it's luxuriously, decadently so.
The darkness of his music makes sense
when taking into consideration his stated influences. Sergg writes
that some of his favorite artists include Portishead, Radiohead, and
DJ Shadow, all of whom love to use minor chords and melancholy,
almost Gothic imagery in their tone, every one of their tracks a
digital “Moonlight Sonata.”
Sergg's track titles are also more
insidiously named than most Silent Hill titles. “Purgatorio”
includes the devilish “Preygrounds,” which sounds as frightening
as it reads; the ghoulish “Breed Me In,” which showcases Sergg's
jazz-minded treatment of drum and percussion; and the Japanese film
inspired “Ringuu,” which would have made for a fantastic theme
for the film, and which film could easily have been inspired by
Sergg's song, if the track could have been composed first.
Music fans with an ear for the ghastly
and deeply shadowed would do poorly to miss this masterpiece of
digital music composition. The three-song EP is hardly ever
published, anymore, but if they could all be as powerful and
strangely passionate as “Purgatorio,” chances are that the music
world would see many more of them, and would benefit greatly for it.
Sergg's EP “Purgatorio” is not one
to miss. It is available online worldwide beginning February 8, 2013.
