“Tangible was composed towards the end of the Covid lockdown. It’s inspired by personal reflection about real and virtual experiences; society has been forced to evolve in terms of how we relate to each other, and to spend a large amount of time staring at screens.
However, as the poet Pedro Salinas reminds us: “You always live in your actions. With the tips of your fingers you press the world, you tear off auroras, triumphs, colors, joys: it's your music. Life is what you touch”.
In this way, the album aims to evoke the strength and purity of the tangible – the experience of hugging, touching wet soil, or getting gently wet from a fine drizzle, arms open and looking up at the sky” B.S

“Right from the start, Bruno Sanfilippo’s Tangible is a blissful, serene dream. The record’s songs blossom gently, like an autumn sunrise, and convey a profound sense of joy and euphoria. Combining piano, strings, and minimalist electronica, there’s real beauty here too; fragile piano lines woven with soaring strings and soft synth washes. Yet Bruno doesn’t merely evoke deep emotions – his work is playful in places, imbued with a little mischief. It’s what gives Tangible its heart and humanity. Sinking into these twelve tracks is wondrously life-affirming, and confirms Sanfilippo as one of the best, most soulful pianists and composers in the world”

“Bruno Sanfilippo‘s Tangible offers one of the more refreshing and inspiring takes. The title is a prompt for a radiant collection of songs from the prolific Argentinian composer that encourage us to look up from the screens that absorb so much of our attention and connect with the tactile world around us both natural and human” Stationary Travels

"Mentre tanta musica contemporanea si concentra sull’astrazione, l’ultima creazione di Bruno Sanfilippo si misura con la concretezza dei tocchi fisici preclusi dalla distanza forzata. La loro sublimazione risiede nuovamente in risonanze di note pianistiche che scolorano nell’atmosfera, nella quale aleggiano con la delicatezza di trame armoniche appena delineate e lasciate libere di espandersi in un ambiente vuoto e ovattato, da loro stesse riempito per contrasto.
L’essenziale formula del compositore argentino è a tratti arricchita dal violino di Laura Masotto e dal violoncello di Antonio Cortesi, che donano coronamento cameristico a pièce di misurata emozione" Rockerilla Mag. #494

‘Tangible’ is the twenty-seventh LP by Argentine composer and pianist Bruno Sanfillippo. The music was written during the lockdown brought about by the global pandemic. The inspiration was to bring to mind tangible things such as hugging, rain and the feel of the earth beneath our feet. As with most Bruno Sanfilippo compositions, we get beautiful minimalist piano and ambient soundscapes. Norman Records

"Again, Bruno shows his expert skills of merging refined, minimalist electronics with piano and delicately flowing string textures that keep the listener’s attention from the start" Bert Strolenberg · Sonic Immersion

L’importanza della fisicità che trascende i contatti virtuali, sentire con pienezza la presenza delle persone e dell’ambiente circostante. Si concentra su ciò che ci è stato ed in parte ci è ancora precluso il nuovo lavoro discografico di Bruno Sanfilippo proponendo una riflessione in musica sull’importanza di ritrovare il calore della vicinanza reale.

Contrariamente a ciò che si potrebbe immaginare, il compositore argentino non si avvale della voce solitaria del pianoforte per dipingere questo suo vivido immaginario preferendo invece utilizzare una tavolozza sonora più ampia che intreccia le melodie dello strumento con luminose modulazioni sintetiche. Da questa formulazione elettroacustica improntata ad una delicata essenzialità di matrice modern classical prendono forma ariosi paesaggi sonori innervati sui fraseggi fluidi dello strumento, che in due occasioni dialoga intensamente con le trame elegiache del violino di Laura Masotto (“Amapola”) e le risonanze emozionali del violoncello di Antonio Cortesi (“Amber Light”).
Quelle proposte sono istantanee atmosferiche tese a ricostruire impressioni sensoriali nitide e che nei passaggi più diluiti a tratti rimandano flebilmente a certe rarefazioni à la Sigur Ros venate di seducente malinconia (“Fleeing in the City”, “A Child Hugging the Tree”). Un rinfrancante tuffo in un mare di ammaliante armonia. SoWhat
