Pete Moraites is by nature a visual artist, and this
shows through in his musical atmospheres. From his background
as writer, director, illustrator, photographer and editor, Moraites
leans every instrument towards its most percussive qualities;
emphasizing hammered guitar strings, pizzicato trombones, tentative
but mellifluous piano lines, and the occasionally identifiable
4/4 rhythm pattern in an otherwise odd-sox of tempos and time
signatures. The impression is overall beguiling, especially
as he has only been creating music for just a year.
The forty-three exploratory works on“Cinemathematica”
(Day 088) evolve through gentle melodic
shifts and drones amidst colliding rhythm programs and percussion
centers, where experimental ambience reigns in a fourth-world
kind of way. Tense and anxious, while alternately hypnotic and
beautiful, Cinemathematica elaborates upon the young artist's
multimedia and film-scoring potential. Never lacking in gravitas,
these abbreviated compositions – many under two minutes
– flow together or signal an editorial sea-change.
