INTRODUCING AKUSTIKO
The “Akustiko” project beginning is about 15 years ago; I wrote the first song “My acoustic side” in those days, after that my musical career went through jazz, classic, country, blues and rock until today… the truth is that this record represents a parallel world which grew from all the influences I had in my music, presented in an acoustic way. The idea of a CD recording came during the EKO tour with Massimo Varini, also producer of the record with his label Kymotto Music.

The songs in AKUSTIKO are widely representative of many styles and states of mind, tracing a path from the country related classic finger picking to the latest sound and modern techniques like tapping and percussive guitar mixed with ethnic and Mediterranean sound.

Many of the tunes describe landscapes or are related to people who inspired musical themes. Visiting new places, linking to different people, living new experiences is the base of the inspiration which forms in different musical languages.

“Music is life” as much as “Life is music” and this concept is fundamental… at least this is what I believe, an artist takes inspiration in his experience, voyages, meetings, people, emotions, sensations and he turns all of this to his audience creating a high level of communication… this process generates an audience to artis feedback generating always new inspiration.

Basically, this is the idea behind AKUSTIKO, everyday life as the inspiration, people, places, experiences, thousand of communication ways which make life wonderful through places and time, linking people and their emotions.

With their colours and sounds, I used the various musical languages to tell about all this.
