Clouds by Gaussian Curve
“Clouds” is the debut album of Gaussian Curve, a collaboration between Italian ambient pioneer Gigi Masin,
Land Of Light’s Jonny Nash and Marco Sterk (also know as Young Marco).
Each of them established in their own rights, the three musicians from Italy, UK and the Netherlands,
came together during a weekend long recording session in April of this year.Without preconceived ideas
and developed around often purely intuitive improvised jams, the eight tracks on the album
are all 'one take' live recordings. With Gigi Masin on Rhodes and piano, Jonny Nash on guitar,
melodica, synths and trumpet and Marco Sterk on synths, rhythmic structures and production duties,
the three of them succeed in developing a musical language all of their own.
Recorded in the heart of Amsterdam's Red Light district, the album reflects the unusually warm Spring
and the buzz from the open windows that filled the derelict downtown studio space during
that particular weekend. Whilst on the more introvert late night compositions the music quietly soars,
reflecting the brooding melancholy of an evening in that particular part of the city. With a heartfelt
simplicity “Clouds” is a record of an inspired meeting of unique souls and unique surroundings.
