Rattrappited Kisses
10 Piano Solo Pieces performed by Maestro Guido Umberto Sacco
Originally, the opening piece of this album was commissioned by a young fashion designer who wanted an elegant piece to present her collection. I enjoyed it so much that I wrote nine more, aiming to maintain the elegance of the first. Performed by Maestro Guido Umberto Sacco and mixed at Tranquilo Studio in Milan by Stefano Barzan. I'm proud of the music I've written, though not as proud as I am of the titles I've chosen.
Alquanto sei Ginosa
3 Pieces for Flute performed by Maestro Davide Giove
A tribute to the town where I was born, which I don't visit often but always experience intensely. It's where my family and friends are, and especially a remarkable flutist like Davide Giove. The proceeds from the digital sales of the EP were donated to Operazione Mato Grosso to build a music school in Ancon, Peru.
Below is the version for soprano saxophone performed by the talented Maestro Simona Castria in Paris.
Bella ciao tema e variazioni
For Flute, performed by Maestro Davide Giove
The theme and variations form is one of the most classic, here applied to the famous resistance theme Bella Ciao. Another collaboration with Maestro Davide Giove, who truly outdid himself technically in the final variation. The piece was commissioned by Arci and was used for the video #nonèscrittasullasabbia, which recounts the history of the Italian Constitution.
