The Occulted Measure
"Is this music jazz? I'd argue yes; there are improvised pieces and parts assembled in a very thoughtful inspired manner by two sympathetic musicians."
All About Jazz (Mark Corroto)
""An Eclipse Of Images" is an uncategorizable treat. It combines a haunting, electroacoustic feel with spacious drones and loose percussion. Not quite in the ambient,
classical, rock, free improv, or jazz vein, Discepoli and Barbiero borrow deftly from each of these styles and combine them into new forms. Highly recommended."
Avant Music News
"Fantastic...really really fine work" Don Campau (No Pigeonholes)
A collaboration certainly successful, interesting especially for its ability to generate "hybrids" able to escape any attempt to catalog"

All About Jazz
"“An Eclipse of Images” displays a sense of loveliness courtesy of Discepoli-Barbiero’s uncanny ability to communicate with each other."
Beach Sloth
"A successful album, which is worth savoring carefully." Traks
"Massimo Discepoli and Daniel Barbiero are able to provide the audience with a composition that whilst not following regular pattern doesn’t leave the brain confused by the
ideas as they are equally capable of tempering the juxtapositions in a manner that doesn’t reveal discordance, rather combinations of contrasting harmonics which are able to
gradually interweave and the finished product is a calmness of movement which has a sense of organic evolution." Emerging Indie Bands
"By combining their amazing talents, Massimo and Daniel were able to create melodies that are texturized electronic abstractions, music that is both soothingly melodic and
startlingly discordant" The Voice Magazine

Between the creative impulse and its material image is the opacity
of translation, whose shadow is the resulting work—a hybrid of
intuitive forms and conscious craft. If the sonic image’s ultimate
source is in the currents running beneath the threshold of
reflection, its realization lies just as much in the choices of line and
structure made in real-time performance or in the studio.
The seven multilayered pieces presented here are hybrids
meticulously built up of acoustic and electronic elements both
composed and improvised. Synthesizing a complex relationship of
lyricism and abstraction, acoustic double bass and drums define
melodic and rhythmic figures against an ambient field constructed
of electronic textures. The emergent sound is a weave of modally
inflected melodies floating over propulsive, intricate rhythms and
harmonic blocks carved out of electronic matter. Daniel Barbiero
Composed and recorded February-June 2016 in Silver Spring,
Maryland USA and Assisi, Italy.
