Angelo Pitone, the creative force behind Of Shadows And Lights, invites us on a contemplative journey with the EP “Poems From The Edge.” Collaborating with lyricist Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, Pitone weaves a tapestry of introspection, exploring the dualities of life, good and evil, through four tracks that resonate with a chill, poetic, and truthful vibe.

In the opening act, “On The Ledge,” penned by the wordsmith Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, Pitone’s vocals soar over a backdrop of synth piano, electric guitar, and drums. The lyrics speak of standing on the precipice, yearning to fly beyond haunted dreams. “I’m on the ledge. There are whispers in my mind, but I don’t listen anymore,” Pitone croons, capturing the tension between the desire for freedom and the echoes of ancient whispers.

“Unbecoming” unfolds as a poetic revelation, navigating the spaces between light and darkness. Pitone’s vocals echo a quiet rebellion against the silence of the night, ushering in a spirit of unbecoming. The lyrics paint a canvas of introspection, where the spirit rails against the constraints of daily trials, finding solace in the shadows.

“Into The Silence” carries an ethereal quality, with Pitone’s vocals acting as a guide through the subtle nuances of the soul. The track reflects on the sublime radiance of existence, encapsulated in a thought or a seed that transcends into the vastness of the silence. A sonic meditation that transcends the boundaries of the tangible.

Closing the EP with “Emerge,” Pitone’s vocals take center stage, backed by a fusion of electric guitar and drums. As the lyrics profess, “And so, finally, I took the leap and found such treasures that I have never known,” the track becomes a triumphant declaration of embracing growth and change. A poignant reminder that emerging from the shadows can lead to newfound treasures within.

As the mastermind behind Of Shadows And Lights, Angelo Pitone brings a wealth of musical prowess and academic accolades. A recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Commercial Music from the University of the West of Scotland, Pitone’s commitment to musical exploration is evident in every note and lyric.

“Poems From The Edge” is a sonic expedition that transcends the conventional boundaries of rock and pop. Angelo Pitone, with the artistic collaboration of Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, invites listeners to confront their inner demons and navigate the uncharted territories of the soul. Each track is a poem, a contemplative journey into the depths of existence, where shadows and lights coalesce.

In a world where music often serves as a mere backdrop, “Poems From The Edge” stands out as a testament to the transformative power of sound and poetry. As you delve into the ethereal landscapes crafted by Of Shadows And Lights, be prepared to embark on a profound odyssey — one that explores the very essence of what it means to be human, vulnerable, and ultimately, triumphant.
