ARIGTO: Changing Direction Every Day For Fear Of Missing The Path

Louis Sterling is music composer and post-production sound engineer based between Bristol and London. He works across the music, film and television industries. 

A member of the British Music Collection and the Black Artists Database, Sterling began his career at the age of seven, where he was trained as a chorister under Dr. Peter King of Bath Abbey. Upon leaving school, his music gained substantial recognition from BBC Music and the Canadian record label URBNET. In 2018, his debut album served as the inaugural release for 99Chants, a contemporary record label spearheaded by visionary Italo-German composer David August.

Sterling’s debut album, Adisceda, was deemed by music giant Rough Trade Records as "Outstanding," while Headphone Commute described it as a "modern-classical meets electronic marvel." The album was mastered at Black Knoll Studios in New York by Rafael Anton Irisarri before making its way into vinyl collections across the UK, US, and Europe. Eventually, it caught the attention of Venetian composer Gigi Masin, who invited Louis to perform the opening shows for his Vahiné album tour on stages across the UK in March 2023.

Since 2016, Sterling's forward-thinking approach to music has been recognized by BBC 6 Music, as well as accolades like the 2015 'Best Act of BBC Music Introducing in the West' broadcast and the 2020 Composer's Award from Sound and Music UK. His performances at Omeara, London Bridge, and the Liverpool Philharmonic Music Hall have further solidified his reputation as a respected talent in contemporary music.

Beyond the facets of composition, Sterling has assisted production for Channel 4’s core team, Branded Entertainment, curated radio shows for  BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show with Greg James, and supported Warner Bros’ post-production sound studio De Lane Lea in Soho, marking his robust network across the music and entertainment industries. 

In October 2024, his score for BOUND– a short-film directed by Abigail Feaveres, Channel 4) was selected for the Cannes Indie Shorts Award. He is currently working on his second full-length album.

Coraggio Group, or Alchemy House, is a feeling. 

Debut album coming. Maybe.

Sketches. Demo.

Soundcloud and a hacker destroy the quality of my songs, so.. sorry.
​
Coraggio Group is a new avantgarde counterculture project formed to connect art with popular, contestaive means of expression. Soon from the start, Coraggio Group’s sound is compared to Crystal Castles and The Knife. With female alt as a lead voice, emphasis on emotionality, poetry as lyrics, hardcore visuals, and eccentric live performances, Coraggio Group changes music into art, or a feeling, or a thought. 

In 2017, Coraggio Group announced to release debut album in Bentley Records, New York City, U.S. In 2016, InClub Radio in Peru chose CG's Going Out as one of 100 best songs of the year. One year before this mention, Coraggio Group released first song in Polish literary publishing house, Biuro Literackie. The song was chosen by Kora Jackowska (Maanam) and Agnieszka Szydlowska (3 Program of The Polish Radio) to become a part of Various Artists debuts record album.

Inspirations of Coraggio Group include: Haus Arafna, Coil, Burzum, Blvck Ceiling, Guy Debord, Noam Chomsky, William S. Burroughs, Andrei Tarkovsky, David Cronenberg, Derek Jarman, Mathew Barney, Todd Solondz, Gerhard Richter. Coraggio Group supports animals rights, vegetarianism, feminism, equality, anticapitalism, anti-imperialism, anticlericalism, pacifism, ecology, and human rights. Music can become a political statement, able to transform the world, or produce new solutions for system after capitalism.

"I have come to understand that everything is a state of consciousness. The thought you have in mind, the object you're looking at, the book you read, the word you pronounce, the person you're talking with, the face, the eyes, the sound, these are all states of consciousness, they all induce particular feeling, particular energy inside you. You can wander through states of consciousness the way you wander through the rooms of your house, or the cities, districts and landscapes during your journey. You can experience all the colours of rainbow in 5 minutes, from deep hell to dark ecstasy, just by feeling what is going on in the moment you are in, by using all your senses, all your unnamed senses. During one day, you can experience things, which some people experience during the whole life. One day is enough, to feel every pain and pleasure. One life is enough to get to know something more than you can imagine.

In one song, there are many states of consciousness. Inferno and paradise change from one into another, like an Indian changes into an animal, and then into a ghost, like it was described in fiction by Carlos Castaneda. Your imagination is real because you can feel it. 

This music is a result of getting to know the world. I've heard some opinions that my music is sad, or someting like that, which I regard as funny. Apart from the fact that this is a large simplification good for people who think through stereotypes, to comment this, I would like to use a quote, which I'd go along with. "Happiness is a conformist concept." To be happy is to agree with what is happening in the world, and I do not agree with what's really going on. Lots of things are wrong with this world. This world should be reconstructed. 

Coraggio Group is one composer, and 3-4 people on stage.
