“Tangible was composed towards the end of the Covid lockdown. It’s inspired by personal reflection about real and virtual experiences; society has been forced to evolve in terms of how we relate to each other, and to spend a large amount of time staring at screens. However, as the poet Pedro Salinas reminds us: “You always live in your actions. With the tips of your fingers you press the world, you tear off auroras, triumphs, colors, joys: it’s your music. Life is what you touch”. 
In this way, the album aims to evoke the strength and purity of the tangible – the experience of hugging, touching wet soil, or getting gently wet from a fine drizzle, arms open and looking up at the sky” B.S

“Right from the start, Bruno Sanfilippo’s Tangible is a blissful, serene dream. The record’s songs blossom gently, like an autumn sunrise, and convey a profound sense of joy and euphoria. Combining piano, strings, and minimalist electronica, there’s real beauty here too; fragile piano lines woven with soaring strings and soft synth washes. Yet Bruno doesn’t merely evoke deep emotions – his work is playful in places, imbued with a little mischief. It’s what gives Tangible its heart and humanity. Sinking into these twelve tracks is wondrously life-affirming, and confirms Sanfilippo as one of the best, most soulful pianists and composers in the world” Derek Robertson, Freelance journalist and music writer: Guardian, Independent, NME, VICE, Timeout, The Quietus, The Face.
