Martina Bertoni – Hypnagogia

When I first heard Martina Bertoni’s »Hypnagogia«, I was scooching in a crowded low-budget carrier. Fatigued, I was hoping for some somnific background music. Yet, I was completely captivated from the first tone onwards. The cellist places every note, every modulation, every static as if she was caressing a newborn. »Hypnagogia« is my most listened to album of 2023. Near-perfect pacing makes it one of the best Ambient compositions this decade had to offer so far.
