Saapato is the music project of upstate NY based multi-instrumentalist Brendan Principato. While Saapato can loosely be described as “ambient,” Principato uses a distinct blend of manipulated field recordings and lush electronic soundscapes to explore the intersection of our conscious and unconscious worlds. Since 2018, Saapato has released a series of LPs and EPs that encourage listeners to explore “alternate” realms, while also prompting listeners to reconsider their place within nature. In 2020, he created the Virtual Sound Bath Quarantine Concerts Series, which featured Saapato performing a monthly virtual sound bath for the respite of listeners, while raising over $15,000 for charities in need. On Somewhere Else, Saapato’s upcoming album and first for famed ambient-label Aural Canyon, Saapato continues to explore the fabled liminal space, merging bright synthesizers, lush string arrangements, and icy piano with the captured sounds of the everyday. It’s a surreal, yet grounded journey – one that explores how a lifetime’s worth of feelings and experiences, silently, but inexorably, informs our perception of the “now.” Somewhere Else is out everywhere November 3rd.
- Gil Israel
