South Florida creative Anthony Baglino merges jazz, Bossa Nova, Latin fusion, electronic textures, and surrealist visual art on his newest six-track EP.
MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Anthony Baglino’s Declination is an independent audio-visual project that unites his roles as a jazz saxophonist, producer, sound engineer, video producer, and surrealist artist. Over six tracks, Baglino blends hypnotic instrumental arrangements, smooth saxophone melodies, atmospheric production, and experimental jazz textures to craft a release that works both as immersive background music and as a more deliberate artistic experience.
The EP kicks off with the lively title track “Declination,” instantly establishing a strong groove, prominent brass, and Latin-infused jazz elements. This Latin influence is evident from the start and carries through the entire EP, alongside Baglino’s expressive saxophone work and layered instrumental arrangements.
“Qualm Swim” shifts into a more subdued, atmospheric realm, featuring piano, gentle percussion, and a dreamlike soundscape. “Nostalgic” brings brass back to the forefront while deepening the Latin jazz influence, mixing Bossa Nova textures with cinematic woodwinds and heavier saxophone passages.
“Rojo” delivers a warmer, more laid-back sound, continuing the EP’s fusion of jazz and Latin influences. “Digital Mitosis” takes a more experimental direction, incorporating electric organ sounds, piano, jazz elements, electronic textures, and prominent saxophone. Closing the project, “Glass House” unites saxophone, piano, Bossa Nova, jazz, and Latin jazz, with each element taking turns through complex instrumental passages and solos.
The six tracks were released one by one as singles, building a chronological path toward the completed EP. This strategy gives Declination a sense of momentum and trajectory, with each release marking another step along the project’s journey and shaping its evolving overall identity.
The title itself reflects a key concept within the project. Magnetic declination refers to the angle between magnetic north and true north, representing a directional difference that must be considered when navigating. Baglino mirrors this idea through the EP’s shifting musical textures, moving between electronic and glitch-inspired sounds, atmospheric jazz, and warmer, more organic Latin jazz fusion. Rather than following a single fixed musical path, the project moves between contrasting sounds and moods, constantly altering its course while retaining a sense of overall direction.
A major component of Declination is its link to Baglino’s surrealist painting. Instead of treating the music and visuals as separate efforts, Baglino merges them via dedicated music videos for each track. His surrealist oil paintings, abstract canvas designs, and high-contrast lighting create a visual universe that expands on the music’s atmosphere.
The project also showcases Baglino’s hands-on production approach. Through his Florida-based Baglino Studios, he works across multiple facets of the creative process—recording live saxophone, programming synthesizers, producing video, and handling final audio mastering. The result is a deeply personal project shaped by one artist’s involvement on both the audio and visual sides.
While Declination possesses the atmosphere and steady rhythmic foundation to function naturally as background music, its layered arrangements invite closer listening. The Bossa Nova patterns, Latin rhythms, ambient textures, piano, brass, and smooth saxophone create a relaxed pulse suitable for working, studying, or unwinding. For listeners who choose to explore the accompanying visuals, however, the project becomes something more active and immersive.
Declination ultimately presents Anthony Baglino as an artist working across disciplines, combining his background in jazz and saxophone with electronic production, Latin and Bossa Nova influences, and surrealist visual art. The six-track EP delivers an atmospheric listening experience while maintaining enough instrumental detail and stylistic movement to reward repeated plays.
Declination is available for streaming on major digital platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, with the accompanying visual content accessible via Anthony Baglino’s official YouTube channel.
For listeners interested in atmospheric jazz, Latin fusion, Bossa Nova, experimental production, or audio-visual art, Declination offers a distinctive introduction to Baglino’s creative universe.
