Heavily inspired by the European adaptation of Bossa nova in the 1960’s, Salvator creates his own unique mood that’s equal parts sunny and joyful using simple melodic themes opposite lush string arrangements.

These are the very sentiments that lay as cornerstones in Salvator Dragatto’s debut LP for Colemine Records. The allure and drama of black and white photography have always played a vital role in how Salvator (aka Joseph Reina) not only views the world but how he hears music. Parallels in film processing to his own recording methods started becoming more and more apparent as the record was being formed; Limitations in exposures rivaling limitations in tracks. Film grain and dust sediments rivaling tape hiss and dirty EQ pots. What most would consider to be imperfections, Dragatto leaned into and found inspiration. This record is an homage to the likes of André Kertész, Robert Frank, Jean-Luc Godard and René Groebli, who’s works have impacted Dragatto’s world so greatly both visually and sonically. \u003ci\u003eThoughts of You\u003c\/i\u003e is an unabashed reflection of the noir. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colemine","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50775509958987,"sku":"2231263","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50775512318283,"sku":"2231267","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50775514022219,"sku":"2231268","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Salvator_Dragatto_-_Thoughts_of_You_3d8df9b0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1730970214"},{"product_id":"number-1","title":"Number 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eDragatto’s debut 45 \u003ci\u003eNumber 1\u003c\/i\u003e is an exciting addition to the growing collective of modern instrumentalists influenced by the greats in library and soundtrack music.
