Being a keyboardist for about 27 years\u00a0<strong>Craig<\/strong>\u00a0thought it was time to explore the ambient genre. A genre he has admired since the start of his musical journey. \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of movie scores\/soundtracks so I wanted to go into this genre by creating ambient tracks with song structure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAYS IN THE ABYSS<\/strong>\u00a0will be a series of 5 song EPs that chronologies the journey of a small intelligent probe drone that was sent to an uncharted planet to collect data. It loses contact with it\u2019s home planet and lives the rest of it\u2019s \u201clife\u201d exploring the unknown world. Through it\u2019s journey it uncovers some very dark places, and learns that it may not have been the first one to visit\u2026..and it may not be alone as well.\u00a0The very first EP is entitled\u00a0<strong><em>HERE FOREVER<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and 5 animated videos were also created for each track on the debut EP. \u201cI\u2019ve been a video editor for quite sometime now so I started out by creating this animated video made up from stock footage. Before I knew it I had two videos completed so I just decided to create animated videos for all 5 tracks\u201d\u00a0<strong>Craig<\/strong>\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Craig Rossi<\/strong>\u2018s approach to the ambient genre weaves from light and airy to dark and abysmal. With the use of multi layered synths both digital and analogue the level of depth will make you feel as if you are on this journey as well. Craig also incorporates some very lush guitar and lap steel passages\/nuances throughout the Here Forever EP.\u00a0<strong>DAYS IN THE ABYSS<\/strong>\u00a0also features violinist\u00a0<strong>Ben Karas<\/strong>\u00a0(Windfaerer) whom provides his electric and acoustic violin expertise throughout the last track of the EP. The songs are structured and fit the mood according to each moment within the journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS IN THE ABYSS\u00a0Is a dark ambient project of multi-instrumentalist\u00a0Craig Rossi\u00a0from Sayreville New Jersey.\u00a0Craig\u00a0is also the vocalist, guitarist, and keyboardist of the melodic doom\/death band\u00a0Drift Into Black.
