Mike Omni – Diloculo Salus

Diloculo Salus

A powerful new orchestral piece from Mike Omni.  Juggling it’s motifs between 3/4 and 4/4 the double basses and timpani boom with energy while the piano trickles notes down out of the higher regiment dexterously.  “Diloculo Salus,” is Latin for, “Dawn’s Salvation.”  Listen to this one LOUD.

Who would ever think a djembe and a piano would be so somber together?  The two play off each other until the orchestral hit locks the listener down.  The drum work is smooth and mellow to give the emotion a place to breathe.  Yet another beautifully crafted piece of piano work by Mike Omni.

Rich violins swells command the mood.  Piano chords add a tense but sweet gravity.  The drums pump hypnotically along.  All the listener can do is zone out and relax.

A beautiful concert grand weaves melancholy within an eerie atmosphere in this piano solo from Mike Omni.  What starts with mourning crescendos into a powerful piece that sings of hope only to reiterate that the hard part is still ahead.

Mike Omni busts out the NI Akoustic and proceeds to channel his past life as a Vienna pianist.  This shifting piano solo lingers between loss and hope.

The melancholy of Viktomajarmo’s composition drove my pessimistic vitriol outward.  As you can tell, I have little faith in my generation to do anything worthy of merit.
