Ascesa is a warm, captivating & introspective journey. Dario has created such a wonderful album that drifts between reflective, nostalgic textures & delicate soundscapes. Beautiful work!
Favorite track: What I Couldn't Do, Now I Will.

about
Ascesa is chaos and order.
Written before, while and after embracing an emotionally dark place, it's part of one's journey to self-awareness. There's love, anger, rumination, meditation, and realization. It's a lingering, gentle, pensive rise presented as a melodious milkshake of stories, experiences, and feelings.
I hope you'll just enjoy it somehow. Maybe it will make you feel better about your day, maybe it will make you embrace or escape your darkness. Maybe something else. I guess it depends on who and where you are.
Side note:
Our listening patterns are very sparse. We listen to music in many situations and different ways. We play it in the background while doing something else, or while looking outside the window during a trip and engage in some introspection, or we turn off the lights and try our best to feel immersed, having that whole personal listening experience.
We smile, cry, meditate, dance, shake over an incredibly huge and assorted catalog of beats, melodies, voices, and noises.
This album is a long climb, it's very personal and might be arduous for some to experience in one single session. In case you feel that might be your case, consider dividing your listening experience into 2 parts: take a break at track 10, assimilate, and when you are ready, start from track 11.
Thank you for listening.

about
Dario Lupo Berlin, Germany
Hello, I'm Dario.
I write electronic and ambient music.
My musical
style has an electronic backbone with acoustic and cinematic influences. It's predominantly easy-listening — at times groovy, experimental, or completely meditative.
Over the past decade, I published music as Need a Name, Chasing Dreams and Katahimikan.
In 2019, I started releasing music with my real name.

Everything and Nothing
by Hammocksupported by 19 fans who also own “Ascesa”
Regrettably I came late to Hammock, missing their wonderful music for too long. This album especially redefines what I thought about beauty in music, as it goes far beyond any possible expectation. It will stay with me for as long as I live.

I definitely fell in love with Hammock's music.

This ambient pop album from Chute Records label head Jan the Man captures melancholy, contemplative moods simply, and without words.

He might be better known by aliases (Fila Brazillia, Solid Doctor, etc) but it's what's in the tin that matters, innit?

Dresden artist Søjus1 explores the shadowy end of electronic music, in songs rich in ambiance and texture.

Four essential tracks hidden away on one side of a special vinyl edition. I love everything Hammock releases, but the more ambient they go, the more I love it.
