IFE

I rarely think in terms of genres when I make music, I prefer to consider the available instruments and the people I would enjoy making music with. I wanted to work with Cristina, whose sensitivity voice and writing are a source of joy and inspiration for me. I was also curious about facing the song format that is quite unexplored for me, trying to avoid rigidity, formulas and commercial aims. This led me to involve Gian Pietro, whose work in the Officine I really admire, along with his talent in crafting electronic rhythms and textures that can hint at dance trip-hop jazz-rock and 80s wave without losing his personal touch. All the tracks have been worked out in trio, except for “Crearono un deserto e lo chiamarono pace” where we involved Brenda Quattrini at the keyboards. IFE music has been written, recorded and mixed between 2020 and 2023. Luca Cartolari September 2023
