music
"Ether, or aether in ancient Greek, was the word
used to describe the evasive substance that
we breathe, and that we call air."
Music styles
ambient - techno - soundtrack - dance - trance-jazz
"Modling these sounds can almost be compared to
sculpting, where you refine every angle of a raw
stone to finally obtain marvellous gems. Painting
these tracks becomes a visual art where a melody
is a line of colors, the textures of the sounds
are made by various types of brushes that are
called instruments, and harmonies are crafted
like a supporting background. It is a complete
process starting with the very essential
elements (sounds and fundamental waves), and
ending with a sophisticated song structure."
Musical influences
Many : debussy, ravel, chopin, bartok, hancock, coltrane, megadeth, art of noise, morricone, peter gabriel, seal, ltj bukem, jm jarre, and many more :
"you are what you listened to"
"The choice of the textures, harmonies and melodies
of my music, deliberately on the darker side, does
not reflect any intention of transmitting a sad mood,
but rather as a tool to open up the listener's mind.
Minor harmonies, as well as phrygian modes and
blue notes are very effective in setting up that
scene. But the fundamental underlying impressionistic
message is of strong positivism : to appreciate
the beauty of life and to shape your future yourself."
Instruments
Although synthesizers are his predominant instruments, Giacomo does also work with the human voice and guest instrumentalists. All of the melodies, harmonies, as well as the majority of the sounds are original. Sampling is very scarcely used.
Various instruments and sound generations techniques are used, including: FM, AFM, PCM, analog,... Software synthesis includes tools such as CSound and Soundhack.
"I believe that an artist absorbs everything
around him, to finally distill his (or her) art
and communicate it. When the artist is surrounded
by beauty, he produces beautiful things, as all
of us do shine when exposed to happiness..."
