Released under Mariano’s own name on the new age-oriented label Instution, the album features Mike Herting and Paul Shigehara. The record moves through several different territories, from pieces rich in the ethnic sensibility that has long been one of Mariano’s trademarks, to urban-tinged fusion and new age tracks that make bold use of electronics. A4 is especially beautiful, with Mariano’s saxophone and Shigehara’s guitar floating through an ethereal soundscape created by Mike Herting’s deeply atmospheric synthesizer work. B1 transforms rhythmic ideas drawn from Indian music, a field Mariano had explored many times before, while B2 stands out for its vivid, rhythmic momentum, evoking the expansive landscapes of Africa. A fascinating album that reveals sides of Mariano rarely heard elsewhere in his discography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA4: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20261006\/OMH26011050_a4.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Path\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20261006\/OMH26011050_b1.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAl Hadji\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20261006\/OMH26011050_b2.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKalimba\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751609794784,"sku":"OMH26011050","price":2530.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_2153_1de48f79-3101-446d-867b-38ada5680e46.jpg?v=1791275446","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/charlie-mariano-mariano-2","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
