A mixture of jazz and electronica, Nick Marks funky and groovy jam of genres and styles on “Paradiso” is a sonic ear worm to entirely immerse yourself into. Opening with an up tempo and positive sequence of chords, it quickly cascades into this incredibly delectable medley that incorporates a touch of Brazilian flair before taking a surprising leap into a hyper synth driven orchestral back-beat jam. There’s simply so much happening throughout its rather extensive six minute runtime, but there isn’t a moment to be lost on boredom or pensiveness. It’s a flurry, an absolutely furious barrage of so many different elements that just meld so seamlessly into one another and after one another on this fascinatingly intricate and expressive composition.
The overarching choice to blend elements of acoustic with larger than life synths creates a soundscape that feels inherently grandiose and cinematic, a truly opulent sensory experience that you find yourself ecstatically engaging with.
