Stephanie Sante (Sant: Immaculate Conceptions
ByOn “Radiance” and “Twilight” one can easily find themselves adrift, rapt in swoon, and transported into regions of deepest dream-moment. With “Rainmakers” things are more Native American-esque and percussive – lively. On the plateau of “Giza” yet another region and time’s peoples are brought alive again – the dawn illuminates the Great Pyramid – Ka rises – ghostly boats drift among ancient ruins – echoes of forgotten rites drift across the eons – I see god-kings and the shadows of Anubis. Only Sante’s music so paints such a vivid memory. You can feel a deep awe cast upon the sun-scorched desert lands so long ago Egypt’s mysteries reigned. It continues with the somber tones of “Iridescence” where Sante employs very unique synth voicings and midi-guitar strummings to evoke jeweled places regal – the courts of opulence and leisure seem near.
I shall cease here, to not “overdo” my praise for a must-have release. Nor will I reveal all the great joys one can discover in their own listen to Immaculate Conceptions. Discover Stephanie Sante’s vision – all over again! Recommended to roam inner worlds majestically.
