Infectious grooves, heavy riffs, sentimental lyrics and powerful one-liners is the game played. Spaghetti Eastern Music Spaghetti Eastern Music is the genre-leaping solo project of NYC & Saugerties-based guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. Cataldi marries acid jazz-fueled guitar instrumentals with bare-bones acoustic ballads and folktronica out of the Nick Drakeschool.  The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York praises his "the delicate guitar work and the hauntingly moody atmosphere he conjures.” Called “truly excellent” by The Village Voice, “beautiful and unique” by WFUV’s Mixed Bag and “charmingly melodic and off-center” by WFMU.  Hudson Valley One has called Spaghetti Eastern: “Part Sergio Leone fever dream, part Ravi Shankar raga, a whirling dervish of musical creation.” Chronogram Magazine called his most recent release, the exploratory solo guitar score for the dance piece 2x2x4,“cool, melodic, inspired and transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth and light” while Psychedelic Baby Magazine calls it “the perfect sonic tonic for these trouble times.”
