Info for H A V E N

A little over two years after Wonderful Life, Langella returns to the public with H A V E N. his new musical and recording project, his sixth.

There is a year's work behind this record recorded essentially as a Trio. In September 2022, I started working on the musical notes I had and, within four, five months, the record took shape, I had complete auditions of all the tracks. Then the finishing work and the recording of the final guitars began. Unlike previous works, I tried to draw dreamlike soundscapes through the combination of guitar tracks in which I used more effects than before. This vaguely ambient sonority that pervades the entire record is perhaps the main characteristic of H A V E N, perhaps the most relevant novelty of this incessant musical search.

The record was essentially recorded in the home studios of the musicians involved, those of bassist Aldo Capasso, the two guests Roland Cabezas and Massimo Gargiulo, and leader Mimmo Langella, and was completed on 22 October 2023 in the studios of Artistika Recording with Pasquale De Paola's drumming.

There are also two guests on this record: the German/Spanish musician Roland Cabezas, already present in the two previous records, who contributed the colour of his voice to embellish three tracks including the Beatles' Come Together cover, and Massimo Gargiulo, already present in a track on the record A Kind of Sound and in my first single from 1996 Jonathan the seagull, who played the piano in two tracks.

H A V E N continues the musical journey that began twenty-two years ago with The Other Side, the debut album; the typical elements are all there: the strong melodic component, the improvisation, the full-bodied, chunky sound that together with the hypnotic groove produces an enthralling, enveloping pulse. H A V E N is another musical journey that Langella undertakes together with other musicians in search of a new sound, without barriers of genre and language.
