Vraell

Vraell (real name Alessio Scozzaro) makes music in the quietness of spring and summertime dusk. For that one hour of cerulean sky, the London-based musician’s ideas come to life, illuminated by the poignancy of evening as it turns to night.

Vraell discovered his passion for experimenting on the instrument through a period of busking with his nylon stringed guitar. That led him to begin writing his own works that infuse the sensibility of ‘10s indie folk, like Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver’s “For Emma, Forever Ago”, into his picking style, while simultaneously drawing on the rich sound of composers like Olafur Arnolds, Max Richter and Portico Quartet and Szun Waves’ Jack Wyllie.

Scozzaro sees the guitar as an instrument that can hold the universe within it. In his music, he seeks to show this — its guts and glory, its gentleness and darkness, the way it takes the color blue and unravels all its insides. “Guitar has endless possibilities,” Scozzaro says. “I love figuring it out.”
