Seikilós, suggestioni di salsedine e di mare
Seikilós, suggestioni di salsedine e di mare
The songs, melodies and dances I have collected on this concept have common Mediterranean roots and are part of the cultural heritage of anyone who lives in or has visited a Mediterranean country. You can hear them everywhere in our part of the world, on the radio, on television, hummed in the street or played masterfully at parties.
Magón, nocturne n.1 for Solo Piano
Magón, nocturne n.1 for Solo Piano
“Like all Genoese, I have a deep and melancholic connection with my land and my past. How much nostalgia I feel every time I think of my friends from the past and how much bitterness overwhelms me every time I realize that these ties have vanished. Magón recounts this feeling, hovering between sweet remembrance and desperate sadness.”
Suite n.1 for Piano (album)
Suite n.1 for Piano (album)
Suite No. 1 consists of 6 independent pieces, but linked in a dreamlike journey that begins with III/10, which opens the door to the magic of fantasy and ends with Indaco, which resolves it all, bringing us back to reality as if it were an ancient melody.
In between one passes through a Suq, dances with a Witch, confronts Malipensieri and is reborn in Baalbek.
Pianist and Composer, he began studying classical piano from the age of 4, then went on to study jazz piano at the Conservatory of Genoa and the CPM in Milan.
His music mixes jazz elements with more classical forms, borrowing sounds and attitudes typical of rock and electronic music.
In his intense activity as a composer, he has dedicated himself to solo piano (“Suite No. 1,” self-produced, and “Jam-Balaya, una favola Blues” published by Dasè SoundLab), to the soundtrack of the documentary film “Và in Giro” by Marco Corso, and to the musical concept for Pepita Ramone's YT channel.
His latest works are currently being published: ‘Seikilos, suggestions of saltiness and the sea’, based on Mediterranean music, and ‘Romanzo di formazione, un'avventura piano e voce’, written with comedian Alessandro Gori.
As a pianist he has given concerts and performances, both solo, in trios and in more articulated formations, distinguishing himself both as a soloist and as an arranger
In addition to his career as a composer and pianist, he has been teaching for 20 years and has trained more than a hundred students.
He has also worked in theater as a director, composer and production secretary.
