Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 3,000,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!

My first 4 AI Albums can also be found here:

in Apple music (search Funkinova and/or AI Collective)

If you like anything you hear, please pass them on!

I believe it was Nietzche who once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake”

I have nothing to do beside making music. Other times I just listen to music.

Make sure to follow me and support my music on Spotify and Apple Music.

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.

Italian pianist and composer, Virginio Aiello (1975) boasts a high-level education in classical music, which dates back to his very first studies in accordion and piano when he was only 6 years old. He first graduated in Piano and Jazz Music at the "S. Giacomantonio" Conservatory in Cosenza and subsequently obtained a Master's degree in Jazz Composition.
Over the years he has participated in various seminars and workshops with the best Italian jazz musicians and has also collaborated on various musical projects. For over twenty-five years he has been performing concerts, ranging between various musical genres, from classical to jazz, from tango to bossanova, playing the piano, accordion or Hammond organ in different contexts.
In 2015 he released “El Barrio” with the Sertango Quartet, an album composed of original classical songs from “Tango Nuevo”, which received excellent feedback from both the public and critics. 
In 2020 his album "Piano Songs for Children" won the international "Album of the year" award organized by the American website solopiano.com
In recent years he has dedicated himself to composing music for solo piano, enjoying great success on all music streaming platforms.
In 2023 he collaborated on the soundtrack of the short film "The Plane" by Ukrainian director Rodion Volkov, dedicated to the children of war.
He has published numerous books dedicated to piano teaching.
