Garnet Dusk is an album of migration and maturity. It involves the abundance of reflective thoughts created by impermeable, unavoidable situations that life serves or doesn’t serve you on a silver platter. “Garnet Dusk” blends the ocean sound with a woman’s departure. It tries to catch a special encounter like ships that pass slowly in the blue enamel evening. The mysticism of rediscovered love and affection. The truth in the children’s eyes and the parents’ lack of consideration. “Garnet Dusk” is a fire in the sky that lasts very few seconds but concentrates the essence of intuitions, the carpe diem. Then comes the night with its glorious shades and blinding lights, A reel for the poets, a tryst for the unsatisfied.
Singer-songwriter Claudio Conti balances his impressions and his artistic/stylistic choices twisting and turning between Italy and the United States. Even though he displays a certain influence of Italian and British musicians, most of his repertoire and colorful sound is given by the West Coast.
Undoubtedly encouraged by the souls of Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley, John Phillips, Sam Cooke, Love and The Doors he considers both L.A. and San Francisco his multilateral Mecca. Psychedelia and folk rock try to embrace hues of jazz and rock in a non-imposed, biological journey that after “Saltworks” will allow “Garnet Dusk” to see the light next November, both published by Seahorse Recordings.

I have known Davide’s accurate attention to details since I started recording professionally with him when I was 27 years old. I can only say that you will rarely find a person who takes you to the core of your ideas in such a short frame of time and succesfully. Artistic delivery is an extremely delicate and difficult process and Davide knows well how to use ears and advice. All the instruments involved in the songs he works on become never orphans. He gives you a mark that helps your musical world last regretless with the passing of time. If you’re a serious, interesting musician you should really give your projects under his wing.
