   MusicDish Review: Armonite's "Suitcase W

   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   Performed by Paolo Fosso and violinist Jacopo Bigi, this piece incorporates   
   both traditional and psychedelic features. It is incredulous in its ability to   
   combine Indian traditional elements with rock style features creating an   
   amazing new sound.   
      
   Beginning with a metronome like beep, the start of this piece helps to   
   establish a recording studio atmosphere. This allows for the video to come   
   across as raw and unique style.   
      
   The video special effects of the shaking when the drummer uses the double   
   pedal adds to the transient like atmosphere portrayed by the music. Paolo   
   Fosso's decision to include the motif of Stravinsky's Firebird in this piece   
   is ingenious. It adds    
   different tonal colors to the already well known and amazing theme from   
   Firebird and helps to attract a wider range of listeners. All in all,   
   "Suitcase War" is a great example of how the artists of today are achieving   
   ways to create tremendous music by    
   combining different musical genres.
