The album Addaenpi's " Deserted Street" is a work that exists at the intersection of refined technique and the primal instinct of rhythm. If we were to map its sonic DNA, we would find a complex yet extremely welcoming ecosystem.
Genre and Instrumentation: The Architecture of Sound
Although the album moves within the Jazz-Fusion-Funk triangle , its execution reveals an almost artisanal attention to sound textures:
Modern Jazz: It's evident in the sophisticated harmonic progressions and use of space. It's not static jazz, but a continuous dialogue between the instruments.
Electric Fusion: The integration of keyboards and synthesizers creates a modern soundscape, reminiscent of the great productions of the 80s revisited with the digital polish of 2026.
Groove Funk: The backbone is made up of "rock-solid" bass lines and drums that favor ghosting and syncopation, giving each song a constant propulsive push.
The Key Instrumentation:
Rhythm Section: A present and vibrant electric bass that "walks" together with an extremely dynamic acoustic drum kit.
Keyboards and Piano: Using Fender Rhodes or hot pads gives that velvety feel that's typical of urban nights.
Wind Instruments or Soloists: Saxophone or electric guitar licks often emerge that cut through the mix with precision, carrying the main theme to emotional heights.
Emotions and Atmospheres: The Color of the Night
Listening to Deserted Street is a deeply introspective experience. The title is no coincidence: it evokes the feeling of being the only awake soul in a city at rest.
Regenerating Solitude: It's not a dark sadness, but that sweet melancholy you feel when you finally have time to think, far from the chaos of the day.
Mystery and Elegance: The fusion sounds create a sense of anticipation, as if every corner of the " Deserted Street " hid a story or a secret.
Urban Energy: The funk touch keeps the album from becoming too ethereal, maintaining a physical connection with the listener, instilling a charge of confidence and determination.
Why is it a valuable work?
The beauty of this work by Giorgia Beretta lies in its balance . Often, technical music (like Fusion) risks becoming a stylistic exercise for musicians alone; Deserted Street , however, manages to remain accessible and profoundly human.
Sound Narrative: Each track feels like a scene from a modern film noir. The music "speaks" even without the need for complex lyrics, letting the notes describe the landscape.
Crystal-Clear Production: GB Musix's signature ensures audio quality where each instrument has its own vital space, allowing the listener to distinguish every single nuance of the musicians' touch.
Versatility: It is a rare album, capable of acting both as a perfect background for a moment of relaxation, and as a careful listen for those who want to study the harmonies and tempo changes.
