“We’re delighted to announce the debut full-length album from Federica Deiana, out this June. Her fifth release overall on Home Normal, Instant Light is a radiant and deeply affecting work, balancing evocative piano compositions with immersive ambient swells and cathartic synth textures.
A graduate of the University of Cagliari and mentored by acclaimed Sardinian composer Stefano Guzzetti, Deiana delivers a work that feels like a defining moment within the ambient neo-classical landscape. As her debut physical release, Instant Light is remarkably complete in both vision and execution — organic, immersive, and quietly breathtaking. Aurora Zandara’s blurred, dreamlike imagery further enriches the release, evoking memory and atmosphere in a way that beautifully reflects the music’s tenderness and purity.
‘Instant Light’ is a radiant and deeply affecting work, balancing evocative piano compositions with immersive ambient swells and cathartic synth textures. It has been so wonderful to receive so many messages about this amazing album today upon release, and we’re very thankful for the radio play and early reviews from Mirco Salvadori at Rockerilla, Josef Sedloň at Radio 1 in Prague, E-Lodie (Richard Heinemann), KEXP, and her upcoming review at Textura.”
