A gorgeous instrument wonderfully played... a master of stillness and tenderness.

This track is a pure improvisation for piano 4 hands, electronics (synth and tape recorder) and viola.

Written and recorded in one day, Timeline is the result of a session in which Luca Longobardi and Diego Guarnieri shared their ideas and creative process. Improvisation, composition and rework are the keyframes of this four-hands-two-brains Ep.

Timeline

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.
