The title has a dual meaning, referring to both the practice of mourning and the path left behind by a boat, a symbol of movement and progress.” _– **Gianfranco Pescetti ** _“Since I can remember I’ve always approached music from a place of fantasy, emotion, and escapism and while I draw inspiration from various electronic styles, my focus now is  on creating a sound that is personal and evocative, rather than adhering to a specific genre/technical approach.”_ The Hawaii-based musician is gearing up to launch a new album in the fall of 2023, preceded by three fresh singles, _**“Sundog,” “Clownspunk,”**_ and_** “The Wake.”** _Additionally, in 2023 he has released an instrumental dance cover of the beloved** Frank Sinatra** classic _**“Fly Me to the Moon” **_as a side project, separate from his forthcoming album. _**“The Wake” **_was released on April 20th.
