*75 copies limited edition* Emerging from the resonant stillness of a centuries-old monastery, Monastero unfolds as a series of improvised modern compositions — each track a spontaneous dialogue between space and sound. The instrumentation drifts fluidly between structure and abstraction, allowing reverb-soaked tones and percussive textures to breathe and bloom within the natural acoustics of stone walls and vaulted ceilings, giving the music a haunting, sacred dimension.
