Every once in a while an album
touches you in unexpected ways and “Momentum” by Tulio Cremisini is one of
those albums. Cremisini studied the acoustic guitar at an early age but had to
give it up in exchange for percussion as a result of an accident, which severed
several of his tendons on his fingers. But after many years of diverting his
musical skills in other directions, Cremisini bought a guitar and started fooling
around trying to reconnect with the young boy who, decades ago, began learning
how to play the instrument. After many hours of practice, several ideas began
to flow as musical pieces and Cremisini found himself working overtime to keep
the “Momentum” going and let the flow of ideas manifest itself into musical
works, which he then recorded at his home studio. The result is a heartwarming,
fresh and beautiful set of acoustic guitar pieces comparable to the works of Pierre
Bensusan, Michael Hedges, Anthony Phillips and many other acoustic guitarists. Tulio
Cremisini is a multitalented, classically trained musician, composer,
songwriter and producer with over 35 years of experience working on original
music for films, TV (shows for NBC/Universal/Telemundo), advertising, records
and musical theater. He has been the Principal Timpanist with Miami Symphony
Orchestra since 2008 and he has won several ASCAP and TV awards as well a 2010
Latin Grammy. He has worked as producer/songwriter or arranger for numerous top
Latin and international artists. Tulio’s multicultural and eclectic educational
background has given him such a special versatility to seamlessly embrace any
musical style with class and effectiveness. And as a sample of such versatility
please check out his work on a grand scale symphonic project: “Symphony of the
Soul” (Ilan Chester). Chester expressed perfectly the achievement of Tulio
Cremisini’s latest work: "…In his latest work, "Momentum", Tulio
reveals his introspective and sensitive nature through the careful selection of
melodies; and playing as if caressing his guitar, he manages to take the
listener to a serene and beautiful place, a place where the feeling of longing
and the goodness of heart are the all-pervading elements. ”Momentum" is a
musical privilege to have and to cherish…"
