Spaghetti Eastern Music is the genre-leaping solo project of Hudson Valley-based
guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. Spaghetti Eastern Music marries funky, acid jazz-fueled guitar
instrumentals and ambient soundscapes with bare-bones acoustic ballads straight out of the Nick
Drake school.  Cataldi debuted the project with the critically acclaimed 2016 album, “Sketches of
Spam,” followed by several EPs and singles. The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat
unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York praises his "delicate guitar work and the
hauntingly moody atmosphere he conjures.” Called “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… a must-see.” Chronogram Magazine called his music “cool, melodic, inspired and
transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth and light.” Psychedelic Baby Magazine labels it “the perfect
sonic tonic for these troubled times.” Cataldi is also a member of the ambient guitar duo Guitars A
Go Go, the poetry/music project Vapor Vespers and the psych/surf quartet, Spaceheater.  He is also
a contributing writer on music to The New York Times, Rolling Stone, PopMatters, InsideOut
Upstate NY and NYSMusic. He is also the host of Reading Is Funktamental, a monthly show on
WGXC 90.7 FM where he interviews authors of books about music, including some famous
musicians. Look for his music here at Spotify and www://spaghettieasternmusic.bandcamp.com
