about

"In Rancor:Succor, ChiaraOscuro has managed to craft an exquisite piece of sound sculpting, one that takes a listener on a true journey [...] The atmosphere created is spectral, haunting, at times touching on the ethereal – particularly when Viscomi goes into full banshee-wail mode." - Echoes and Dust

"Rancor:Succor is a 10-track album of drone/ethereal music, taking influence from the likes of SunnO))) and Diamanda Galas. The result is an otherworldly work of art that fits comfortably into Nefarious Industry’s oeuvre [...] Albums such as Rancor: Succor are not part of the tawdry business element that has so infected music, but about the act of creation. You can feel, in every single track here, a piece of the artist invested in the music and, as a result, it touches you. [...] It’s an album of deep emotional connection – between the artist and the art, and between the art and the listener – and it leaves you feeling somehow cleansed." - SonicAbuse

"The debut album by Chiara Viscomi, recording here as ChiaraOscuro, is a hauntingly beautiful experimental vocal album. Sometimes ethereal, sometimes operatic, sometimes lyrical, Viscomi’s wide-ranging vocal palette is accompanied by her own layered vocals, looped effects, and drones, along with solo piano (“Hiraeth”, “Rancor”), and even guitar (“Fishwife”). These all tend to be long pieces, with slower tempos, giving them time to develop in often surprising ways – “Her Life-Giving Caresses” begins a cappella, eventually evolving into an almost shamanistic, rhythmic sound. Even the menacing interlude “Narcissus and Echo” surpasses three minutes. Every moment felt essential – so pick a track and make time in your set for the whole thing." - KFJC 89.7 FM

about

ChiaraOscuro San Francisco, California

ChiaraOscuro is the solo experimental ethereal project of vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter, and multimedia artist Chiara Viscomi. Raw, anachronistic torch songs and lush, cinematic anthems are created via the use of live and prerecorded loops, effects processing, and a broad vocal palette, as well as unconventional recording locations and instrumentation. ... more

Such an amazing album, these folks really know how to make such emotive, creative, and spiritual music. This is a must listen to anyone who likes atmospheric black metal and doom, as this crosses over into both. The ambient bits are such an excellent touch to build the atmosphere. Their description of playing this live is perfect, and something I yearn to witness one day! Much love❤️ Derek
