Fragments of Days (Vol. 1)

Small stations over time,
staging posts where I picked up some thoughts,
where I fixed some memories, rested my eyes.
Plume is my voice telling about those days when I was
both light and heavy.

Opalina

Tra parole e silenzi, come finestre su due strade parallele

This was my special thought for Piano Day 2017, I thought it should have been part of my new album.

Paralleli (Piano Day 2017)

#TheBiberProject is a live performance in which the interpretation and recreation of the Baroque repertoire merge with sonic experimentation and interaction. The musical studio is a broad-spectrum cognitive pathway that through interpretations, new readings, audio manipulations, original and recomposed tracks, investigates the expressive canons of the seventeenth century.
This recomposed is the final act of the performance.

3.32.39 is the 4th track in preview of Plume, my album on vinyl, that will be released October 16th.
The title is the exact hour in which, on April 6th 2009, an earthquake occured in L'Aquila, destroying  part of the city and changing its very soul forever.
The track is meant to be an homage to the victims memory and, at the same time, a hymn to life for whom has survived and found the strength to react.

Ta Peau

I wrote Warming Playing in November 2011. At that time, we used to talk every day on the phone, about the flood in Genova, about our future, about your cancer.
In these busy days of new projects, works and ideas, you are stocking in my head more than usual.
I understood then it was time to write it again.

A new error (Moderat cover)

This is the original piano sketch I wrote before starting the full arrangement of Habibi. It is a live recording on my Scholze upright piano. I used in the middle part a Strymon Timeline Delay (you can actually hear the click-in and out of the pedal in the track) to sketch the idea of the synth I used later in the full orchestrated track. I thought it was cool to release it as b-side of the single.

Habibi (Piano Sketch)

I visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin a week ago and I felt overwhelmed since I walked in the first corridor.
The Memory Void, one of the symbolic spaces on the ground level of the Libeskind building, includes the installation Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves) by Menashe Kadishman. More than 10,000 faces with open mouths, cut from heavy round iron plates, cover the floor of the ground floor void.
Menashe Kadishman’s sculptures stir painful memories of the victims of war.
The soundscape you hear within the composition is a recording I made in the Void of people stepping on the iron plates.

About Us - Main Theme (End Credits)

About Us - Opening Theme

Italian composer and pianist Luca Longobardi represents the generation of classically trained musicians who incorporate the language of contemporary electronic music into their pieces, which are furthermore strongly connected to the multimedia arts. Born in 1976, Longobardi studied classical music in Italy and New York and went on to earn his doctorate in digital audio restoration in Rome in 2011. His works reveal a strong interaction between classical and contemporary music. The experience he has gained as a theatre musician has increased his interest in the relationship between sounds and spectacle; he has composed music for ballets and films and accompanied installations and experimental art productions (Atelier de Lumières - Paris, Carrières de Lumières - Baux-de-Provence, Kunstkraftwerk - Leipzig). At his multimedia performances and in his recordings, strongly experimental electronic music meets pure, ethereal and simple-seeming piano playing that nevertheless relays deep emotions.
