Matteo Ferrara is firstly producer and sound engineer. But in his spare time, he creates music for movies or at least sounding as if tit would fit a movie perfectly. This is exactly the case of his new album "EVA" that would make a great soundtrack for a space exploration oriented sci-fi.
The story as told by Ferrery begins with a "Letter From Nowhere", poetic spoken word that, although in Italian, has some clear references to the universe. It is confirmed by the sounds of the following tracks, starting in "Mission Start" with implemented backwards counting to the journey's beginning. It's the same for the rest of the album when the radio dialogs between astronauts appear and they do it accompanied not only by a space electronic music but also some post-rock guitars (as in "We're On TV") making me think of the phenomenal soundtrack for "Moon", the movie.
The tracks create a coherent story, sometimes very much unsettling, as in "Water" in which the Earth-based engineers try to help an astronaut in distress. The music here skillfully beats up the drama just like in the best space thrillers.
"EVA" costs 7 EUR.
