Excerpt: “Another beautiful instrumental from the Roman electro-ambient artist, from her upcoming new album. Warm harpsichord and vibes tones wrap around slow droning guitar sustains, with space-static swells arriving from the wings. A gorgeous journey, laden with emotion. Backed with the cosmic ‘Pixie Space Rock’ from last year’s wonderful Chromatic Sigh album.”
Excerpt (translated from the French): ‘Elisa Luu does not hesitate to tackle various genres, spending time on the edges of an atmospheric, post-rock sound, with intermittent drums and electric guitar parts or programmed rhythms… Textures develop to embellish the guitar, flute and other instruments.’

Excerpt: “It takes mere moments for Elisa Luu’s Chromatic Sigh to make a strong impression when its title track blossoms like some brilliantly hued meteor shower, its metallic materials slowly exploding into a panoramic field of glistening haze… It’s a full-blown plunge into digitally-crafted electronic composition, with Luciani weaving flute, sax, and guitar sounds into the quietly radiant fabric of her material. Moments of blissful reverie are captured in “Perhaps” and “Arteline,” both of which breathe like the softest of sighs, while the ruminative “Slow Bass Flute” carves a slow and stately path through a sleepy forest, its tranquil calm punctuated by sudden swoops. At forty minutes, Luciani’s album is also admirably concise and to-the-point, and ultimately registers as fully-formed music-making that blends melody-based song structures and bold instrumental arrangements into a thoroughly satisfying whole.”
