MusicDish Review: Armonite's "Suitcase War"


Performed by Paolo Fosso and violinist Jacopo Bigi, this piece incorporates both traditional and psychedelic features. It is incredulous in its ability to combine Indian traditional elements with rock style features creating an amazing new sound.

Beginning with a metronome like beep, the start of this piece helps to establish a recording studio atmosphere. This allows for the video to come across as raw and unique style.

The video special effects of the shaking when the drummer uses the double pedal adds to the transient like atmosphere portrayed by the music. Paolo Fosso's decision to include the motif of Stravinsky's Firebird in this piece is ingenious. It adds different tonal colors to the already well known and amazing theme from Firebird and helps to attract a wider range of listeners. All in all, "Suitcase War" is a great example of how the artists of today are achieving ways to create tremendous music by combining different musical genres.
