专辑简介

For those who have seen Matt Venuti's live performances, Rise is the CD that you have been asking for. If you haven't seen him then Rise will be the next best thing. Simple and beautiful, Rise will "open your heart, quiet your mind, and touch your soul". Matt's songs have a deep and inviting lyrical content with timeless subject matter that explores timeless elements of life and love; loss and surrender. Aside from Matt's rich vocal tone and poetic lyrics, the other outstanding element is his accompanying instrumentation, the Hang and the Gubal, two incredible creations from PANArt in Bern, Switzerland. Matt is considered one of the premier players of these "sound sculptures" and explores the potential of what these instruments are capable of producing. His voice and the instruments become so intertwined and perfectly balanced that you might think they are all one in the same. Rise is truly a master-work from an award-winning artist that has contributed greatly to the world of music.
