The Secret of the Sea

A 11 track new classical album (41m 51s) — released April 21st 2014 on Psychonavigation

The stunning third album from the popular Italian Pianist

"The thing I love the most about Naples, my home-town, is the Sea...;and about the sea I have always loved the waves, their sound and even more their rocking movements, suggesting to me the idea of the deepest human gesture, the embrace."

The "Secret of the Sea" represents for Bavota a step towards experimentation, even if the piano is always the core of his compositions he felt he wanted to give something more. Beside the sound of the eighty-eight keys, now we find delay and reverb as in Me and You, the track where the research of himself into the sea begins.

In The man who chased the Sea the sound of the piano is accompanied by acoustic guitars producing the impression of a relentless rush that never seems to stop. If only my heart were wide like the Sea is the shortest episode but it is representative of the album as many, here the charming arpeggio of the acoustic guitar is lightly touched by the piano distantly.

Nevertheless there are also some episodes of solo piano as Les nuits blanches inspired by the homonymous book of Dostoevskij, and Plasson devoted to a character of the book Oceano Mare by Alessandro Baricco. Plasson is an artist who loved to paint the sea on a canvas just using sea water, as a consequence he illustrated oceanic landscapes on canvas that was persistently white.

The Secret Of The Sea is the artist's most accomplished album to date and a fitting addition to the Psychonavigation catalogue. Sit back turn the lights down and allow these eleven carefully sculpted pieces calm your inner self.

Live Date : January 14th 2014 @ Societaets Theater Dresden,Germany

Overall this is a really good effort,the album as a whole flows very well, giving us different lovely relaxing classical pieces and is a good album to unwind to. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to listen to some soft relaxing classical music. - http://swirlsofnoise.wordpress.com/ Blog

‘The Secret of the Sea’ comes across as a lovely and relaxing album that certainly does manage to achieve what it set out to do. 4 / 5 - http://thecdcritic.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/the-secret-of-the-sea-bruno-bavota/ CD Critic

Bruno Bavota is both minimalist and terribly moving, melancholic melodies that leaving too much room to welcome ramblings of the soul. - http://gwendalperrin.net/blog/2014/02/08/album-bruno-bavota-secret-sea-teaser/ Blog

The Secret of the Sea', Bruno Bavota, is one of those magical, essential records, you need to keep in mind not to lose sight of one of the most interesting pianists of the last years - http://www.mmusic.es/2014/02/bruno-bavota-secret-of-sea-2014-un.html Blog

The Secret of the Sea” seems to harmonize with those sentiments as it no doubt represents a great deal of creative sweat on the part of the artist, and I would not be surprised if more than a tear or two were shed in the making of this enchanting album - http://stationarytravels.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/album-review-the-secret-of-the Blog

Bruno Bavota has really outdone himself: he's returned to the sea to be reborn with a new life. And, chasing his dreams as a stubborn captain and eager to discover new lands, he has allowed and will continue to allow all of us to regenerate with him. - http://www.mydreams.it Blog

There are moments during the album when Bavota's music could conceivably be mistaken for something by Amélie soundtrack composer Yann Tiersen, an equally strong melodicist. - http://www.textura.org Textura.org

Absolutely delicious - Elnorton http://www.indierockmag.com/article24176.html

From the opening moments of 'Me and You' to the final seconds of 'Chasing Stars' , The Secret of the Sea displays that is in no short supply of brilliant selections. The evocative power of the minimal melodies is notable and the lush soundscapes created by the warm piano chords is sublime. - Daniela Patrizi http://echoesanddust.com/

At the foreground are the simple, homely gestures that decorate the universal language of love – the brushing of hands, an arm placed gently upon the back – which manifest through piano chords whose simple intention glows as pop sensibility. - Editor http://www.attnmagazine.co.uk/
