about

“Arc” is the first album release by Parched (Eraldo Bernocchi and Davide Tiso). This stunningly beautiful ambient album is like a soundtrack to a non - existent road movie, primarily filmed in a hot desert, through a rose tinted wide angled camera. Imagine the ethos of an Ennio Morricone 70‟s soundtrack, directed by Wim Wenders and Brian Eno alongside Robert Fripp, in the leading roles!

In 2005, Italian guitarist, electronic artist and producer Eraldo Bernocchi met Davide Tiso, guitarist and founder of the extreme/experimental band Ephel Duath (signed to Earache Records.) Bernocchi asked Davide Tiso to contribute to 23/30, the last album by seminal Italian industrial electronic band „Sigillum- S – a project that was originally founded by Bernocchi himself.

In 2007, Bernocchi conceived a musical project focused on the use of ambient guitars, with the aim of composing a soundtrack for desert landscapes - urban deserts, deserts within deserts, he then decided to involve Davide with the project and thus Parched was born. Arc consists of nine compositions, focusing on baritone guitars, to enhance the sound, the two guitars engage in an inter twinning flowing dialogue.

The album has taken nearly two years to finish, with a long time spent striving to achieve perfect tonal balance - every track focuses on a different aspect of music dynamics, on the act of appearing and disappearing, to enhance the sound and the emotional depth of the songs.

It is a deep and thoughtful record, highly complex in its arrangements but equally simple, it is to be savoured over and over again, as it reinvents itself for the listener every time.

Unheimlich Manoeuvre
by Jo Berger Myhre

supported by 5 fans who also own “Arc”

Captivating! A concise 37 min drift into dreamy, slightly unsettled atmospherics, buoyed by analog synths and eastern percussion, full-on reverie prevented by glitch and static. A centerpiece Raymond Carver narration by Singaporean Vivian Wang brings a temporarily muted awareness, but then drifts onward. Love the eastern influence and contrast between clear, clean recording of certain instruments, while beats are often muffled, coming in and out of focus. Moody and fascinating. ❤️ Aviary, Perils Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)

Music Of Our Times

This recording can move the listener beyond the world of piano and guitar. Pay close attention and hear what is taking place here with these musicians and you too will be moved. daniel a zongrone

Tranceportation Vol.2
by Sonar w. David Torn

supported by 4 fans who also own “Arc”

At first listen, the juxtaposition of Sonar's rhythmic constructions and Torn's soaring, furious/tender voice would by themselves be enough of a pull. But digging beyond the surface will reward the listener greatly. There is great depth, emotional nuance, intrigue and change, rewarding repeated listening. Ref: Miles/80's Crim/Tibbetts, but this is truly new music. grate ape

How can music be this good? It's both unlike anything else and such a great example of jazz at its height. With Stavi and Sirkis, Dharmawan has a core trio with an all star pedigree, supported by equally powerful featured artists. Peter Jones
