The Rainy Road

Trying times at work at the moment - so as usual when I'm in a bit of turmoil or under a bit of stress I sit at my piano... and this is what came out of it tonight.

I envisage it as a Pirate losing a loved one to the sea and lamenting forever more. A little too sad? Maybe...

"Besides being makers of music, the most compelling composers are also storytellers and “The Rainy Road” has certainly has the magic dust of an alluring narrative written all over it.

By Francesco’s own account, it sums up feelings associated with all of the traveling, leaving, loneliness, and relocation that have been constants in his life over the past ten years. [...]

Everything revolves around a recurring melody that was sketched on a piece of paper while staying in an apartment in Kraków (Poland) last year and which proved be the catalyst."

ADVICE: MUSIC — ESPECIALLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC — SHOULD BE LISTENED TO THROUGH SPEAKERS WITH A GOOD BALANCE OF BASS AND TREBLE. IF YOU LISTEN TO THESE PIECES ON A CELLPHONE, YOU’LL LOSE AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR QUALITY.

"The Fallen Mage" tells the legend of a mage whose thirst for power led him to forge a kingdom in the shadows, only to be betrayed by the very fate he shaped. Since the great Inquisition, no other mage had arisen — until, centuries later, a young wanderer, the first of his kind in ages, ventures into the forgotten ruins and finds traces of his presence. Between buried secrets and perilous promises, past and present entwine, revealing that not all power comes without a price.

Stellarius - by Maija Licite / Mionia

Francesco is an Italian born music composer, pianist and visual artist. 

In the first ten years of his career Francesco has been able to collect a substantial list of wide-ranging achievements: from conducting his own music in the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London to releasing an impressive number of albums as a solo artist; scoring movies and documentaries to directing award-winning short films.

Francesco’s work ethic is second to none, but his greatest asset is, undoubtedly, his unconditional love for film: having a bachelor’s degree in Film Technology and a burning desire to create stories that will stand the test of time.

Drawn to simplicity and driven by a fanatical attention to detail, Francesco creates music that blurs the lines between ambient, electronic and orchestral.

His instinctive use of acoustic instruments combines the elegance of traditional orchestration with complex, electronic landscapes, melding into emotive and exquisitely elegant hybrid-orchestral compositions.

Francesco’s music takes listeners on a passionate journey through images and emotions, creating stories and shaping memories.
