Very filmatic, building expectations, creating curiosity ... Well done.

In the past year and half I have experienced deep and opposed feelings that have led me to move, somehow, somewhere else. ‘The Yard Sale’ collects all those things I decided to keep with me while I am taking my first steps away.

Film One

Miracle, Mystery and Authority

In between composing, writing, rehearsing, and recording, I have been improvising a lot, and this track is the result of one of those moments. It is very different from what I am working on but, somehow, it holds my essence, and it makes me feel well. Instead of letting it disappear along with many other pieces that I never share with others, I have decided to publish it in celebration of #pianoday2018. I hope you enjoy it.

Composed, performed and produced by Sergio Díaz De Rojas.

Intro (l'isola) + Medussa, released today as a single, are the first two tracks of my upcoming album The Yard Sale.
The album is about a process of saturation I have experienced in the past year and half that have led me to move, somehow, somewhere else.
I thought that the best way to tell a story is to start from the beginning.

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.
