Donato Epiro is a name that I come across quite a bit when browsing labels and I was curious to what he was up to when I saw his latest release, on Stunned. Epiro is a different case in the experimental spectrum. His style is very distinct and unique. It focuses less on just straight-forward drone and adds a foreign touch to it, although I can’t tell which foreign country I’m thinking of.
He uses a significant amount of instruments on Sounding The Sun, or at least enough to think that this isn’t just a one-man band. I can’t even tell the majority of the instruments that are used, but they most certainly add color to the album. Normally, I get a craving for some sort of electric instrument in a song or else it feels empty but in this case it seemed unnecessary. The use of acoustic instruments give the songs an abundance of ideas and textures to choose from, and with the use of Stunned’s distribution, Donato Epiro could one day become a big name in the experimental music genre.
