Few things offer greater clarity in life than change. It provides the wisdom necessary to look behind you and understand things better. Embrace change and grow.

This duet for piano and cello is an improvisation on a theme of change. Piano is live recorded.

FEDERICO ALBANESE is a composer born in Milan, Italy in 1982, and currently based in Berlin. His musical versatility is a natural gift that pushes him to explore music in all its facets. Albanese's compositions are airy and cinematic, blending classical music, electronics and psychedelia. Federico started studying piano and clarinet as a child before becoming fascinated by rock music. As a teenager he studied bass and became a self-taught guitarist and soon became one of the leading figures of Milan's underground scene, performing in several bands. Influenced by black music, folk, electronic, modern and contemporary classical music his skills as a composer soon emerged.

In February 2014, Federico Albanese released his debut album entitled "THE HOUSEBOAT AND THE MOON" . He recorded all of the piano parts with a 1969 German tape recorder, the Uher Royal Deluxe, which allowed him to catch all of the tiny hidden shades, the imperfections, the noises of the piano and its surrounding space. Federico melted this rarefied sound with electronics, live recordings, strings, and homemade instruments. The result was a combination of contrasts and colors with a variety of atmospheres that wonderfully represented Federico's musical universe

Opus #24

Wrote this piece some years ago when I was 17 in a night before I had a class test. I just had my first e-piano and could play at night. So I procrastinated with learning, didn't sleep and consequently totally failed at the exam. But well, there's now a piano piece instead..

Slightly rearranged over time and now renamed.
Original title: "Spross falscher Prioritätensetzung" / "Ich möchte lieber nicht"
The picture was taken at David Klavins Pianomanufaktur in Balingen, Germany.

Finished an old piece today, which accompanied me for a long time. Feels good to see all the pieces of the puzzle together after all this years. 

I hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening!

Vater

Für Lena † 2011
___

her short life ended so suddenly and unexpected with only 20. beside the huge pain i experienced through her decision to leave, i think i can now say after years of thoughts and reflection, that it was also the event i learned the most of.

this day changed literally everything. it was the hardest reminder that we only have very limited time together, so early in life. it effected all my decisions, every breath is a deeper one since this day. i see with a clear mind and open heart now. it gave me more passion, the ability for self care, it strengthened my empathy & understanding and created a even stronger will to leave the world better than i found it.

i’m sharing this because i don’t want her to become forgotten and meaningless. so, this is what i learned. maybe you get something good from it, too.

be good to yourself. be good to people, even the ones you think that don’t deserve it. be kind to every other sentient being. everyone has her or his own invisible struggles, be aware of it and respect it. keep the people that don’t make you grow and keep you small out of your life. trust yourself, but be ready to question yourself, too. fight. try to find beauty in the saddest and darkest moments. don’t be surprised of change, because it will happen. don’t live a life of bad compromises, go for the whole. don’t fear insecurity. be more brave than you actually are.

Gymnopédie No.1 - Satie

This song hit my mind today, so I tried to reflect it on the piano... 

Here's the lyrics of the original song by Rare Bird, which sheds some light on the melanholic character of the music:

Sympathy

Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think of those out in the cold and dark
'cos there's not enough love to go round

And sympathy is what we need my friend
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friend
'cos there's not enough love to go round
No, there's not enough love to go round

Now half the world hurts the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
'cos there's not enough love to go round

And sympathy is what we need my friend
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friend
'cos there's not enough love to go round
No, there's not enough love to go round.

Sympathy (Improv on the Rare Bird song)

Dedico esta grabación con gran cariño a mis padres.

Aria - Giovanni Allevi

hi! this is alice & her piano. 

here you'll find music inspired by compassion - and its absence.


///

compassion hurts. when you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. and you cannot turn away.
your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. you must either learn to carry the universe or be crushed by it. you must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors. -andrew boyd
