Lemongrassmusic present the 3rd longplayer album „Mosaic Of Thoughts“ by Dutch musician and producer Dennis Bonam (alias Faro).
After the debut album „Shape Of Sense“ was released in 2009 Faro soon came with the 2nd album „Dreaming In Orange“ in 2010 – both albums having a long and stable success sustain until nowadays.
Now, after 12 years, Faro has decided to put out this 13 tracks album which unites some singles and compilation releases of the past decade with some fresh, unreleased works.
During this long span of time Faro has managed to maintain his uniquely warm, timeless and magical sound that makes his music vibrate in such a wonderful way…
Faro describes the album like this:

Wandering through places,
a collection of experiences,
a mosaic of thoughts.
What a wonderful saga it has been,
with so much more to look forward to.
Wind down, relax, let go,
and listen to the soundtrack of my past decade.

1. Primal (November 11, 2022):

On his second longplayer “Dreaming In Orange”, Amsterdam-based artist Faro carries on what he has begun on his debut album in 2009.
Through his music he easily triggers our imagination – taking us on journeys across continents, across dreams. We find ourselves floating through scattered clouds, travelling deep forests and balmy beaches.
“Dreaming In Orange” does not only tranquilize – it also enchants the present moment into a state of happiness and peace.
It creates a space which opens ways of communication with yourself and your counterparts and allows to have presentiments of the invisible structures of life.
Since one year Faro’s relaxing music can be heard in many spa resorts and hotel lounges worldwide – and opens hearts, souls and minds on the journey through the universe.
Chill out and take a deep, deep breath and feel yourself relaxing…

After appearing on „Lemongrass Garden 3“ and „Lounge Du Soleil 4“, Dutch artist Faro finally drops his debut album. His artist name not only refers to his third name, but also pays tribute to the beautiful shores of Faro (Portugal), a place which stimulates him while creating ambient and downtempo music. His African descent is mirrored in recurring ethno elements, and in his mission to unite the worlds of lounge and R&B. Influenced by artists/producers such as Pat Metheny, Afterlife and Rue de Soleil, he has reached a distinguished personal style with roots in both genres.

His music transfers disturbing emotions to a calm and tender place. His tracks either stir up some profound, inner clarity or let you breath in a blissful serenity your peace-hungry soul craves for. Every soundscape on „Shape of Sense“ is different, with a host of images and emotions colouring its realm. But every soundscape is the same in the way of its soothing quality, setting restless spirits at ease. Or as Faro puts it himself: „Music should have an image contained or a story to tell. It should provide space to meditate and dwell on varying cloudy shades, without any disturbance or inconvenience.“

The titles of his tracks are telling. It’s all about love, self-reflection, the beauty of the outer world and the wonders of the inner self. The peaceful eponimously titled „Shape of Sense“ makes you close your eyes, sit back and enjoy, while the sound of the tablas pleasantly keeps you going. „Bridge of Sighs“ best reflects Faro’s effort to combine lounge and R&B music. While the laid-back arrangements seem to prepare you for sonorous, crooning vocals, you gradually drift into your own storytelling. „Clouds“ comes gently dripping into your auditory canals, and from there straight into your soul. „Spiritual guidance“ takes a more serious stance, advising with authority to look after yourself. „Bohemian Dreams“ offers breathed-out vocals, whispering some far-away wisdom into your ears.

Other tracks are worth highlighting, too, but it’s time to stop reading and reflecting, and to start listening and admiring. „Shape of Sense“ is stellar in both its elegance and profundity. Go catch your own wishful star.
