Concert review - Dardust and its sound frescoes between brutalism and impressionism (scaletta and info)

In the monumental twilight of the room, the seven celestial buildings of Anselm Kiefer of Pirelli Hangarbicocca of Milan Dardust has staged his “Urban Impressionism”.

A complete artistic work that goes far beyond the logic of a concert but intersects with a varied art performance that translates the geometries of brutalism and the nuances of impressionism into sounds. A concert that is not only execution, but an immersive experience between architecture, light, shadows, reflections and music.

An inner and aesthetic journey, in which music becomes an instrument of reinterpretation of reality. Art is seen as a means of liberation and courage, a celebration of life that crosses fragility and rebirth.

His music tonight has become a flow of consciousness that reflects on art, life and personal rebirth. Dardust through the fifteen sound paintings explores the concept of beauty hidden in the cracks of reality.

It speaks of emotional wounds, of suburbs of life and unresolved paths and the need to cross them to find a new awareness. Art becomes a bridge between chaos and understanding, a means of dealing with inner tensions and transforming them into something harmonious, as a resolved musical agreement.

The personal experience linked to loss and reconstruction is also mentioned, seen as a metaphor for growth.

On stage, Dardust's piano has moved between minimal reverbs and kinematic progressions, alternating moments of pure abstraction with more intense episodes, supported by a discreet and refined electronic production. The acoustics of the place, with its imposing structures and the sense of almost sacred suspension, has amplified the dialogue between sound and space, transforming the concert into a sort of sound installation.

References to impressionism are clear in liquid melodies and in the elusive phrasing, while the influence of brutalism emerges in harmonious solidity and in the rhythmic construction, precise and hypnotic. While musically we move from classical music to rave electronics to the echoes of Krafterkian matrix.

Together with him, a trio of arches and a drummer-percussionist who have given impact to the sound construction completely.

A concert that does not just perform a repertoire, but tries to build a visual and sensory narrative, perfectly in balance between classicism and contemporaneity.

Dardust confirms his immense talent and his multifaceted that leads him to be a skilled sound architect, capable of making his every performance a journey through the forms of art and the city.
