All the pieces in which I had the privilege of having my friend, the bravissima @Rosindust, on the violin.

Grazie Tatiana!

Another piece with my friend @rosindust. Almost a tango. Or even a wordless love song.
And we are proud to say that it is a real home recording: I recorded guitars and double-bass in bedroom and she recorded her violin in the next room, the kitchen... just 6400 km away :)

In the picture, somewhere near Lucca, Tuscany, few years ago.

The gentle charmer - with Rosin Dust

Tatiana and I worked hard to find a suitable arrangement for this new version of Danza della lontananza. After much rehearsal, we finally liked it in this lively folk-gypsy mood. And I really had a lot of fun playing guitar as wingman in her awesome prelude!

Here her beautiful music: https://soundcloud.com/rosindust

In the picture, a night in Salento, south Italy. The moon is high, we're ready to go to dance.

Summer clouds - with Rosin Dust

I've written a sort of fugue for clarinet and violin, a piece ennobled by the brilliant presence of Tatiana and Georg, whom I sincerely thank for their performance! Their parts weren't really easy, a lot of intertwined notes chasing each other, and they were great, thanks to both of them!
@georg-boehme,  clarinet
@rosindust,  3 violins

The Tree of Life - with Georg Boehme and Rosin Dust

Here we are again with @RosinDust for a folk piece full of rhythm and passion: a cold windy night, a dive in a remote port of the deep south, a night for daredevils, for temerari...

Peace.

Enemies - with Rosin Dust

Ventotene, a small island in the Mediterranean. Under a breathtaking starry sky, waiting for the dawn.
Thanks to @RosinDust for her gorgeous violins. I am always grateful for her willingness and enthusiasm.
In the last period I worked a lot on things written some time ago, so I had not composed anything new for a few months and, as always happens in these cases, I was a little afraid of having run out of creative vein. That's why, with this new piece, I'm happy and ready for the next time when I'm definitely going to ask myself, once again, "oh my god, is this over?" :)

It's almost dawn - with Rosin Dust

A different version of a piece already released a couple of years ago. This is its first original arrangement.
In order of appearance and italianness: RosinDust on violin, Georg on clarinet and Boehme on flaute.
Yes because, incredibly, by dint of collaborating, Tatiana now speaks Italian, and even Georg understands it a little bit. Boehme instead firmly refuses. So far... :) Thanks, friends, you are fabulous, as always!

Here the splendid compositions of Georg Boheme: @georg-boehme

Suspended - with Rosin dust

I composed this piece, Northern Lights, for my dear friend Francesco. It's a real happiness and inspiration for me that he played the guitar part here, breaking the digital loneliness of my music. 

Here is the splendid music of Francesco Cartocci:

Aurora Boreale - with  Francesco Cartocci

Alone together or together alone, in its many meanings. It is a piece mainly in major but with moments of melancholy, between hope and sadness. About existential solitude but also about brotherhood, the connection between individuals.
In many parts a series of 2 very long, slow, and therefore difficult, violin notes beautifully played for me by dear @rosindust. Here the other collaborations with Tatiana: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

La Primavera - with Francesco Cartocci

When I sent @Rosindust a very first demo, the piece still didn't have a name. She asked me on WhatsApp "Ok, how do you want me to play it?" and I replied "Nervous, furious like... like.. Wait!" and I sent her a picture of Medusa from the famous painting by Caravaggio. :)
Actually this piece is a kind of playful revenge: her last piece she asked me to play had guitar parts that were difficult for me and when I recorded them I swore revenge to her with a fiendishly complicated piece for 2 violins :) But, as always, she was so brilliant! We used 2 violins, a classical guitar, an electric bass and a piano. Here all our collaborations: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

Medusa - with Rosin dust

time to dream..
Thanks Francesco for the inspiration and for the magic guitar that gave new colors to my " renaissance" miniature.

il tempo per sognare - with Francesco Cartocci

A little allegro for folk orchestra with a burlesque, circus flavor. On violin, as always, my dear friend, the fabulous @RosinDust.
From time to time Tatiana gives concerts in orphanages and asylums so she has promised me that she will play this piece soon on one of those occasions, hoping it will bring them some joy. I am very happy about it!

la luce della sera - with Francesco Cartocci

Yard time. A bittersweet piece built on small harmonic ambiguities. On violin my friend  @Rosindust. We played a classical guitar, a violin, an electric bass, a piano and an ostinato digital oboe. 
Here the other pieces together: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

The painting: Vincent van Gogh, Prisoners Exercising, 1890. An alienating round of prisoners. Above two small white butterflies, symbol of hope and freedom.

Ora d'aria - with Rosin dust

  Thanks to Francesco (@francescocartocci)

Summer Tram - with Francesco Cartocci

I'm very happy to present a collaboration with Rosin Dust for a new version of Time, in its original title "Sei mia" (You are mine). 
Many many thanks to https://soundcloud.com/rosindust for her amazing, touching performance on violin!

Sei mia - with Rosin Dust

A couple of years ago I was looking for royalty free video material for another tune when I found a old silent movie, Alice in Wonderland, from 1915. Those fantastic images, full of naif beauty,  inspired me a piece about dreamers. That old version is still there on YouTube. This is a new version for violin with a great interpretation of Rosin Dust. The more we collaborate, the more enthusiastic I am of her lyrical sounds.

Here her amazing music: https://soundcloud.com/rosindust

The dreamer - with Rosin Dust

Hi!
I am a bass, double bass and guitar player but I like composing on keyboards too. 
Thank you for listening. Peace!
