The Farelive HD Label presents Cellomar, its third album in Stereo DSD, 5.1 Channel Surround Sound DSD and “Farelive Atmosphere” Spatial Stereo DSD. Cellomar features Ilaria Paolicelli on marimba and Luciano Tarantino on cello playing Damiano D’Ambrosio’s ten piece Suite.

Farelive Atmosphere is a recording technique in DXD and DSD developed exclusively by the Farelive HD music label where a unique microphone array recreates the acoustic space in immersive mode. The Spatial Stereo edition of this recording is created by Farelive using the Multitrack DXD recording after the fact by mixing it to Spatial in the studio.

Dinko Fabris says “Damiano D’Ambrosio continues to expand his already vast catalog of composer of our time with works for different formations, demonstrating both a tireless curiosity for combinations of instruments and a total consistency with respect to his personal, unique and unmistakable style. Cellomar. The title is obtained simply by combining in an acronym the two intended instruments of the piece: the cello and the marimba (the dedication is to the two respective reference performers, the virtuoso cellist from Bari, Luciano Tarantino, and the percussionist from Matera, Ilaria Paolicelli, a very talented young woman who turned 19 in 2021).

From a structural point of view, we are faced with a Suite, a denomination born in the Baroque age to indicate a series of dances with different trends, to be performed in the form of a concert in a given order. This tradition is strictly respected in the 10 pieces that make up the Suite for cello and marimba. These chamber scores by D’Ambrosio are therefore sound arabesques, built on sound alchemies and rhythmic pulsations, on popular or oriental scales that smell of an ancient Mediterranean, a tribute to his own land, to the harsh Murgian and rocky landscapes but also to the colors of the sea and the sky, but they are, above all, memory games conducted with a compositional skill worthy of a great composer of our time.”
