Massimo Amato, a multi-instrumentalist and experimental artist with over twenty years of experience, is renowned for his exploration of deep and evocative ambient melodies. His work blends modal and Eastern influences, skillfully incorporating instruments such as analog and digital synths, piano, melodica, bulbul tarang, and the Indian harmonium. His tenth album, Next Time Now, released as he approaches 60, is deeply inspired by the natural environment and the evocative landscapes of Southern Tuscany. The album captures eight stories, eight narratives. The melodies lead to unexplored sound territories and the auditory dimension is transported through infinite echoes and reverberations. An opaque light pervades the entire work where chiaroscuro alternates with episodes of sidereal light.
