Ron Gallipoli Unveils Single 'Hearteater' (Waltz For Andre) + Video

Ron Gallipoli has returned with 'Hearteater (Waltz for Andre)', a new song heralding the forthcoming release of not only the Aotearoa tropical-industrial artist's latest album Prisnarchitect, but also a publication titled Gripes and Apocalypses, both set to launch on 6th December. A transcendental "tribute" to world-renowned Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu, Gallipoli's dreamy yet tense ballad's Damian Golfinopoulos directed clip explores the song's synergistic qualities with glitzy promo visuals for Swarovski Crystal.

Ron Gallipoli explains: "A promotional video for Swarovski Crystal (Swarovski, like Rieu, being the choice of sentimental, aesthetically stunted tyrants) was found to have a Pink Floyd-vs-Wizard of Oz mystical symmetry with the song in both music and lyrics but in far greater concentration. It can be said to demonstrate a kind of self-awareness of its own esoteric origin."

You can catch Ron Gallipoli By Candlelight performing with Bill Direen and Hermione Johnson on Friday 29th November at Auckland's Audio Foundation – tickets available HERE via UTR.
