Gerardo
Tristano is an Italian composer. He is graduated in Philosophy
at the University of Bari with a dissertation around the play into
the perspective of art, esthetics and hermeneutics. His music has
been available on the most important music web stores as iTunes,
Amazon, Napster, Emusic. As a composer and after many music experiences
and many important and prestigiuos prizes as the Stipendienpreis
of Darmstadt 1990 and the International Prize of ISCM in Hong Kong
2002, he decides as a consequence of his own idea, to realize a
new way of music language that ranges over an instrumental genre
dyed by neoromantic colours. Sort of minimalism pop, his music evokes
a feeling that we can define daring and enchanting. By a new usage
of percussion instruments (vibraphone and glockenspiel) and the
mix of strings trio (Violin Viola Cello) together with other contemporary
instruments like the electric bass guitar and the alternation of
both classic and electric guitar or else the presence of the acoustic
grand piano, one can listen to a very personal sound rich of musical
timbre and harmonic solutions always featured by a minimalist thinking.
He made his debut with the group MANSION HOUSE on the 1st October
2011 at S.James Church Piccadilly - London. At the present he teachs
COMPOSITION at the Conservatory of Music of Mantova. He is the author
of the essay ANTROPOLOGIA DEL SUONO available as e-book on the web
stores.
