Flowing orchestrally inspired passages laced with vocal textures
Sylvain Lupari / gutsofdarkness.com & synth&sequences.com –
To appreciate Adonia to its right value, it should be placed in its context. In this work written for a theatre play, having for topic the history of Easter and the last moments of the Christ, Robert Fox deploys his immense talent of composer, sound engineer and orchestral arranger to create an epic music which oscillates between the contemporary and electronic styles on impressive tribal bases. A known Biblical story of all on a music mainly ignored by most of all.
A violent thunder roar opens Pieta Part One”

This release from 2008 offers 62 minutes of eminent electronic tuneage.
Composed for a stage production that tells the Easter story from a more human perspective, this music possesses a strong dramatic flair. While the religious aspects are integral to the project, this music adopts an outlook that is more emotional than ecclesiastic in nature.
The electronics are rich and majestic, utilizing a full range of sound, from fragile tones to commanding chords. There are synthesized strings and harpsichord hints contributing to the overall definition. Textural layers and cyclic embellishments and nimble riffs combine to produce a lush and satisfying experience.Ethereal passages are airy and pulsate with shafts of divine illumination. These heavenly soundscapes imbue the atmosphere with characteristics of textural delight. Cathedral chants are employed to enhance this fulfillment.
Other parts are vibrant with imposing melodies that grip the heart and elevate the audiences communal ecstasy. A sense of expansive glory permeates these tunes.Noble percussion lends suitable locomotion to the music, injecting a stately motivation that serves to catalyze the melodies into a state of demonstrative presence.
These compositions are highly cinematic in their evocative disposition. One becomes swept away by the passionate temperament. Dreamy passages instill a vivid serenity, while the more dramatic songs capture fervent tension and impart climactic magnificence with skillful dignity.
