Panoram, the Rome-based sonic architect Raffaele Martirani, unleashed his innovative album Great Times with ‘Cameos‘ as his latest single, last year through Balmat, adding another chapter to his storied IDM legacy. With a catalog that’s racked up over a million streams, Panoram has earned a cult following, lauded by Pitchfork, Mixmag, and The Vinyl Factory, and featured on stations like RTÉ 2FM, SBS Chill, and NPR Music. His performances, from Sònar Festival with acts like Kraftwerk to Primavera Sound and Koko in London as part of Amen Dunes, showcase his dynamic presence. A highlight? Thom Yorke spotlighting a track from Panoram’s Pianosequenza Vol.1 for a Sonos playlist.
The lead single, ‘Cameos’, is a sonic kaleidoscope, layering glitchy, detuned synths with haunting vocal flickers over a soft, hypnotic keyboard pulse. Its abstract, almost cinematic quality nods to pioneers like Susumu Yokota and Aphex Twin, blending whimsical experimentation with a tender, reflective core. The track’s ebb and flow, with sounds that appear and vanish, crafts an immersive experience that feels both intimate and boundless, a testament to Panoram’s boundary-pushing artistry.
Panoram revealed: “The whole song is all about the idea of a cameo. All sounds appearing and disappearing quickly. I imagined children jumping out of their seats shouting vocal tones and flutes played by people walking by.” This playful, transient vision drives the track’s charm, inviting listeners to embrace its fleeting, vibrant energy.
