Wanda Wulz is Ludovico Padovan’s ambient poetry, darkwave, experimental project, and Manifesto Intrepido' is the second full-length release after the beautiful 'Colorermetico' (2013).
Wanda Wulz has established theme of exploring human existential problems,despair,isolation and loneliness through music. Melancholy has defined the music throughout the previous release and it remains a distinct force on Manifest Intrepido' but also the whole musical odyssey is surrounded by a hazy feeling of nostalgia.
Each note has a slight inflection giving the music a very warm, passionate feeling. Gentle electronics flow through the music, so soft they may be missed on the initial listen, but go to elevate the music to a spine chilling emotional level. The balance is quite even with most songs on the album fluctuating between sounds and poetic words with a nice dose of neoclassical and ambient instrumentation.
Favourite songs the melacholic intro track 'Nuvole E Alberi', 'Il Battito’ and ‘Di Notte’ that emphasize the ethereal layers combining the male narrative parts with the beautiful Sara Lepri's female vocals on backround , the colder ‘L'Effetto che Fa’ with synths that create a coldwave atmosphere and ‘ Un Ballo Immobile ‘ that sings slowly ambient melodies, dreamy and distant as if Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins was the composer.
In conclusion,Wanda Wulz deals in ‘antipop-cinematic-nocturnal-melancholic soundscapes,’ claiming inspiration from ‘poetry soundtracky ambiences’ sustained by evocatively emotional vocal parts in a poetical narrative mood. I have listened to 'Manifesto Intrepido' and imagine I will be playing it frequently in order to fully digest it. I think the listener can really feel the dedication and talent of this artist have poured into each and ever song. Wanda Wulz offers to the dark emotive music fan the chance to feast and indulge! The album will be released at 5th of February and is recommended for those looking for music that is unique but is still refined and elegant.
