Artist: Callisto
Tracklist:
David Wright and Stephan Whitlan combine to continue their callisto electronic music collaboration and produce music inspired by Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Vangelis. The stunning new album presents 70 minutes of powerful, melodic and sequencer driven electronic music laced with atmospheric ambience. This will have fans of traditional Berlin school em as well as fans of the two musicians and the Callisto project, in raptures. Just as with the first collaboration (The Reflecting Sky), ‘Either Side of Reality’ came from a series of improvised sessions at David Wright’s Suffolk studio between 2020 and 2021. This time however, the duo decided to continue as ‘Callisto’. The music is a combination of powerhouse sequencing, searing leads and atmospheric ambient music.
While the duo clearly pay a passing nod to the more established luminaries of the genre, ‘Either Side of Reality’ is another original and sophisticated slice of powerhouse instrumental music.
It clearly reflects the musical vision and expertise of both artists, but with a clear intent of the collaboration metamorphosing into something completely new.
