It’s hard to describe Massaro’s sound while doing it justice: the terms ambient, noise and psychedelic don’t quite capture what all three do in combination. Imagine the hard-driving guttural growl Hendrix managed to capture in his guitar, then imagine that sound being used by the ambient artist of your choice, but in a totally non-noise way, with discernable melodies and chanted vocals. This sort of comes close to capturing what Massaro does with music. Perhaps it would be easier to think of him as a sound artist, but that conveys some sense of detachment from the music. Because that’s ultimately what Massaro is all about: music, in the sense of pleasing and moving noises that wash over your ears, stirring something in us that we can’t quite place.
