Mark Guiliana - Beat Music Beat Music Beat Music - Motéma

On the third release of Guiliana’s dynamic Beat Music, the team assembles dense layers of live drumbeats, bass lines, keyboards and electronics. Throughout the album, recorded voices are sprinkled on for added effect, from quotidian one-way phone conversations, to poetic eulogizing and Guiliana’s son spinning cute stories. It’s almost as though listeners progress through the levels of ever-changing live and looped music, traversing landscapes of futurism, euphoria and the imaginary, the boxy and pixelated lettering of the album cover underscoring the distinct 8-bit video game aesthetic.
