It was the year 2009, and partly by chance and partly not... I had the idea of creating a kind of "record format," aimed at showcasing "chamber music" live and in recordings, understood in a broad sense.

Usually, this definition unequivocally identifies a certain type of "classical music": but I, on the other hand, consider any type of music designed for a few performers (2, 3, perhaps 4 at most) who perform it in front of a small audience in an intimate setting, different from the large spaces of theaters or auditoriums, to be chamber music. So, not only classical music, but also jazz, rock, ethnic... without limits to imagination.

So what is "Velut Luna Rec Live"? It's a small event where a limited number of people (20 - 25 or a little more) gather in a small space characterized by excellent acoustics, literally sit right next to the performers and enjoy a concert in a position very close to the performers - a meter or so - absolutely unusual for any other environment specifically dedicated to live music. Thus creating a truly unique feeling with the musicians performing in front of them.

This magic is also captured by a few carefully positioned microphones to transfer the "overall magic" of these happenings onto a recording. Naturally, to do this, it is essential to avoid any tampering or alteration of the original sound: therefore, a Rec Live understood in this way can also be considered the quintessence of recording purity, ensuring that the few lucky attendees can take home the emotions experienced live almost intact.

In this CD, I wanted to select some of these moments, created and recorded during 20 encounters over 6 years, to allow a wider audience to "taste" these unique and unrepeatable atmospheres.
I chose not by chance events that represent me particularly effectively: hence, ample space for two great female vocal performers, space for rock, my first love, and space for classical piano, an instrument that literally belongs to my DNA.

Finally, a brief technical note: all recordings are made in an absolutely minimalist way, often with a simple pair of microphones in a stereophonic configuration, directly to high-resolution digital stereo master (24bit/88.2kHz) and simultaneously to analog 1/4" 38cm/sec master.

To avoid altering the purity of the recording in any way, and therefore the original dynamics of the individual events, no normalization has been performed between the various tracks on this CD, and therefore it will be necessary to adjust the volume several times during the listening of this disc.

Enjoy listening!
