Our Endless Waltz between Wonder and Mud by Fallen
Lorenzo Bracaloni and his project Fallen is very obliging when it comes to providing much needed diversity of atmospheres and moods as well as stylistic versatility that surround his music.
This album released by the Bulgarian label Mahorka is a set of nine tracks which I guess is a reasonable number which gives a listener to dive deep into Bracaloni’s compositional mindset and a chance to explore his inspirations. In this case it’s a bit of a hauntological mystery trip to XIXth century.
This album, despite quite modern references of noir jazz, trip hop, elements of post-techno, cinematic illustrative ambience, bears the marks of somewhat a ballroom type of music. Or at least a strong affluence and reference towards it.
In a shifting melodies and dynamics of the album, you can definitely hear this otherworldly vintage charm and compositional balance that takes you there – to the tale of the past, not so distant, not so far – but present here.
Lorenzo is a master of creating climaxes and moods that come to you, as a listener and haunt you deep inside. This album is no different if amplified by his approach to compositions and his inspirations.
Above all – it has this classical charm and balance that moves on towards versatility and how inter-applicable can his music be. And that’s the best but not only one of the advantages of what he has created.

Fallen's brand new album "Our Endless Waltz between Wonder and Mud", coming out in beautiful digipak CD edition, is the artist's second with Mahorka after his debut on the label "Soft Skin Eternal Verses", released in 2022 on cassette.
Fallen's notes about the album:
"Our Endless Waltz.." came to light in a very delicate and intense period in my life, with great changes from many angles.
Musically, this very precious to me new album of mine, keeps going in the direction established by my very first Móatún 7 release in 2023 and after my most recent releases on Intellitronic Bubble, Neotantra, Shimmering Moods Recs and ROHS!, where my ways and approaches to electronic ambient music have started to become much more dynamic, whilst never losing (instead, enhancing it, in my opinion) my will/aim to sound as spontaneous as possible, without forcing anything, as usual.
This album is about Love and Resilience and how much this messed up world, keeps going ahead with his crazy race, losing grip day after day, in a cruel way we aren't able to discuss with open heart, without the will of hurting each other. This is Our Endless Waltz.
I could say the album is pretty connected and tied up to the Victorian Era, in terms of literature and poetry before all. I grew up with that Era in my heart and this time I have done a conscious tribute, including with graphic ides - references to the XIX century.
