Before creating the moniker of n-So, Nick Angeloni was enrolled at Berklee College of music in Boston, taking courses in film scoring, production, audio engineering and piano. It’s after graduation that more electronic influences began to take hold and Angeloni brought a fresh style of energy to his new project, invigorated by a quickly developing familiarity with modular and analog synthesizers. The resulting sound of n-So often flows around a centre of neo-classicalism, with cinematic piano drawing in gentle, emotion heavy rhythms.

With his 2018 LP ‘A Stroke of Blue’, Angeloni brought his explorations of organic and artificial together to produce eight tracks of gradually expanding ambient sound with his more classical roots evident in percussive piano tracks such as Blue ii and Blue iii. The second LP ‘Out of the Valley’ arrived June 12th, created with the support of Canadian label Moderna Records, whose commitment to those on the boundary between ambient and classical music will have made the connection an easy choice.

‘Into the Valley’ announced the ten track release, maintaining the characteristic leading piano, carried by vintage analog synth and fortified with layered drum hits. There’s a more tangible presence of natural power here, a culmination of the cinematic quality and emotional core.
