It be comes more evident just how fitting the name #pursound is as each track passes you by off of Chris Varvaro’s 2021 Waking Up EP. The experience is nothing short of heavenly as the 4 main tracks, combined with an intro and outro, consume those who listen in a warm essence of soft pads, gentle orchestra instrumentation, moving piano, and so much more. The all around positive feelings overflow and surround through an near-all instrumental delivery with invigorating imagination built in.
Waking Up EP utilizes a 128 bpm framework through songs like, “Depth,” “Elysian,” “Twilight,” and “Waking Up,” Varvaro bringing a unique and memorable theme to each track as the tempo integrates the experience in a fluid, over-arching manner.
Title track “Waking Up,” was a personal highlight as it delivers a sense of anthemic completion, the previous songs on the EP helping it build up the ever-so-gradual tension that this single ends up expelling. The experience is a rush in all the right ways.
Chris Varvaro has hit several highpoints over the years under this alias. From a thick handful of releases being in his catalog today to landing a residency at Parazhit Radio, his love for music and letting it take him on the journey he’s meant to be on has landed him some serious scores over the years, Waking Up EP being one of the latest examples of his adventure.
