ABISSI by Clouds After Rain

Clouds After Rain is an "Ambient Dreaming Project" born in 2018, a sonic reflection of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri's inner world. Through the ethereal rhythm of sequenced synthesizers and the organic flow of improvised sounds, he seeks to unravel the intricate tapestry of stormy emotions.

"Dreams Noir," the project's inaugural chapter, marked the beginning of this introspective journey. However, it was during a family vacation in northern Sicily in 2023 that the true essence of Clouds After Rain emerged.
Immersed in the island's raw beauty – the deep, azure sea reflecting the vastness of the sky, the ancient stones whispering stories of the past, the vibrant culture pulsating with life – a profound sense of introspection washed over him.
These visceral experiences found their voice in nascent musical ideas, which he meticulously nurtured throughout 2024. Overdubbing the original sequences with layers of synthesizers and weaving in the soulful voice of the electric guitar, he transformed these fleeting impressions into enduring sonic landscapes.

"Abissi" is a testament to this introspective journey, a sonic reflection of Sicily's heartbreaking sunsets, its intriguing surrounding islands, and the profound sense of both joy and melancholy that permeates the island's soul.
It is an invitation to delve into the depths of one's own being, to explore the quiet spaces within, and to find solace in the beauty of the unknown.

Founded in Rome in 2021 by Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri, Textvra is a platform to release the music of Plaster, Kaeba and Clouds After Rain, but which is also open to new projects.
