Critical Acclaim
Press & Reviews
Scott proves the bass can do things few attempt. He's created music which deserves everyone's attention.
Petito realizes music at the limits of his instrument's capabilities and of his own as a composer and virtuoso player. Fills space rather than creates space, which is the goal of any self-respecting composer in the genre of Ambient Music.
A collection of hypnotic, textural yet melodic compositions that soothe the overworked soul. Ideal for massage, meditation or chilling out.
Novel concept...a solo bass ambient recording. Petito opens up a whole new spectrum of sound with his space bass.
It is as if one is floating in space carried on waves of liquid light, while being supported by the ground below. This is not spacey music. It is very grounded in the pulse of life.
A visionary sonic exploration where Outer Space + Bass Guitar = SBASS MUSIC. Using only a bass guitar as his sound source—layered tones, bending notes, e-bow melodies, and deep swells—Petito renders the conventional instrument unrecognizable, creating an immersive ambient soundscape unlike anything else.
Chuck van Zyl of STAR’S END ranks Petito alongside legendary bass-to-ambient innovators like Bill Laswell and Skuli Sverrison, crediting him with “successfully combining imagination and creativity with technique and technology.”
Recorded at NRS Recording Studio in the Catskills, this album alternates between trembling vulnerability and waves of strength and light, all anchored by a consistent deep subsonic foundation. The result is music that fills space rather than creates it—the hallmark of masterful ambient composition.
