ambient, avant-garde, folk and contemporary music by Marco Lucchi
As you may know, we stayed for a short holiday in Sardinia. Now I'm back and my inbox is overflowing with unanswered emails, I take but the time you this day a very special artist to imagine one of the most diverse, creative, interesting and exciting artist (that's but a lot of superlatives!) That I 've met so far in the free-music-world: His name is Marco Lucchi, he comes from Modena (Northern Italy) and he has published in the last three decades, an incredible amount of different music: A lot of this is available free for downloading, are all really worth listening to.
It is virtually impossible, a representative album of Marco Lucchi selected because he was engaged in many very different projects and concepts and is: To be a useful short introduction to his artistic work, I recommend a visit to his Soundcloud page, there are a readable biography and lots of sound examples from the past and the present. I'm pretty sure that everyone who will come just a little too interested in ambient, avant-garde music, folk and / or contemporary music with Marco Lucchi on tons of excellent music. I have spent the last few weeks some 20 albums and Lucchi I heard / downloaded and I'm actually always surprised at how varied the material seems to me.
Instead of singling out an album, I want you to features enabled at this point some of my personal favorites, knowing that I might as well mention at least half a dozen other albums that are just as dear to me.
A collection of mostly "old recordings", the bulk of the material comes from the albums Fados (1988) and Eranos (1993). The music ranges from folk, ambient and contemporary music and occasionally not a little naive charm of the earlier progressive rock albums. All in all, a truly enchanting combination.
The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is an important source of inspiration for some (not all!) Of the piece but Lucchi. Lucchi is obviously from the simplicity and emotional power of simple compositions Pärt's fascination. "Mater Natura" and "Alina, un altro giorno" (Alina, on another day) are adapted to two very original (and successful) attempt two of the most important works of Pärt (the Stabat Mater and the piano miniature Alina). Alina Another reference can be found on the album Poets.
The latest release Lucchi "The Spleen", released only 10 days ago on his bandcamp.com page is a wonderful example of his remarkable ability with ambient soundscapes and fragmented melodies together harmoniously.
