Centripetal Force announces the release of the self-titled album from The Far Sound. The digital and cassette editions of the album will be available on June 2nd. The Far Sound is a solo project of Rick Pedrosa, a multi-instrumentalist from Portland, Oregon best known for his pedal steel guitar work in both Abronia and Federale. His playing is informed by the worlds of bluegrass, country-western, jazz, and the Grateful Dead. His list of influences and favorite players ranges wide, from traditionalists like Buddy Emmons and Pete Drake to modern innovators such as Daniel Lanois and Susan Alcorn. One listen to The Far Sound, and you’ll quickly realize that Pedrosa’s style has also been shaped by more global steel players, including India’s Debashish Bhattacharya and Nigeria’s Demola Adepoju. The Far Sound is also deeply steeped in the world of Italian composers like Ennio Morricone, Alessandro Alessandroni, and Piero Umiliani. The sum of all these influences, in combination with Pedrosa’s unique approach to songwriting, makes this debut from The Far Sound a captivating listening experience. Or, as Pedrosa says, his intention is "to create something as if John Cale and Sun Ra wrote a song like "Sleepwalk" for an Italian soundtrack, using American country instruments." All of The Far Sound’s instrumentation is performed by Pedrosa himself and includes pedal and lap steel, banjo, guitar, bass, percussion and his beloved Lowrey L2 Wandering Genie organ. Surprisingly, most of Pedrosa’s compositions start off as banjo pieces, with pedal steel guitar usually being added as a final layer. As unorthodox of an approach as this seems, it’s a move that serves him well, as it is on the pedal steel that Pedrosa can really expand the sonic reaches of his songs.The solos are improvised, and his ability to use these moments for boundless exploration is definitely a strength of this album, carrying the listener through soundtrack-like worlds full of sepia toned backgrounds and sparse landscapes. The Far Sound is invested in creating dynamic narratives filled with drama, much like the Italian film scores Pedrosa greatly admires. Each song is a vignette, each one tapping into a different mood and emotion. Taken as a whole, the album comes together much like a film, each vignette contributing to the overarching plot line, complete with a rise and fall in action, a heady climax and a satisfying denouement.
