About the piece: 
“Making of” aims to be a musical depiction of the writing process if you happen to start improvising on the keyboard, and melodic-harmonic patterns appear soon after. It features a sort of minimalist approach, while on the other hand tends to be pretty much mutable in melody.
Roberto Ventimiglia, November 2023

Get Bach! (C Melody Sax Version)

Second single from the solo piano EP "Small Tonal Objects", out 12th April 2024.

This is perhaps the most classical record I've made so far, and at the same time the punkest.

In light of this, please make no mistake about it: to me, this music is not quite what it sounds like...

I more or less struggled to be free to write this very music while all around someone kept blabbering “YOU CAN'T do that”.
Sorry guys: I could then, I can now and I always will.

So feel free to interpret these four small pieces as you see fit, just as I was when writing them.

Born in 1982, Roberto studied composition with Paolo Rotili and Alberto Meoli, graduating with honours from the Ottorino Respighi Conservatory in Latina (Italy).
He went on to study with Alessandro Solbiati and Salvatore Sciarrino conducting research focused on contemporary music, always pursuing freedom of choice and melody as the most important means of artistic expression while composing. 

His music - from orchestra to solo instrument - has been performed in festivals and venues such as Atlante Sonoro-Freon Musica, Festival Pontino, Le Forme del Suono, Teatro dell’Arte-Milano Triennale, Casa del Jazz-Roma, Musica Futura-Ismez, New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Nuova Consonanza, Akademia Muzyczna im. Krzysztofa Pendereckiego w Krakowie, Brisbane's 4MBS Performance Studio, Kunstkerk-Dordrecht and University of Denver (CO, USA).

In 2013 he won the Premio Nazionale delle Arti Miur-Afam first prize with a piece for flute and pre-recorded sounds, while “Quartetto” for four mixed flutes has recently been a finalist in the National Flute Association USA contest (Newly Published Music Awards 2022 category).

His works are published by Bèrben-Curci, AltrEdizioni, Casa Musicale Sonzogno, Ema Vinci, Ars Spoletium, Wonderful Winds, Da Vinci Publishing and NOOX.
