While… and new music

After closing the chapter on Krysalisound, I am happy to share some news for those who are interested in my new musical productions. My second collaboration with Wil Bolton, titled “In still water,” has just been released by Shimmering Moods. Below, you will find the link and a few physical copies still available.

Next year, two more new collaborations will be released. The first one, already completed and ready for publication in mid-2024 by a foreign label, will be with Nicola Fornasari (aka Xu), while the second one is still in progress with Anthony Elfort (aka Toàn) and will most likely be self-published as soon as it’s ready. These are two very different collaborations that, as always, allow me to expand my musical horizons.

In 2024, my new solo album, temporarily titled “While,” will also be released. It’s a unique project, much more expansive than “Argine,” which probably felt the pressure of a complicated 2023 from the beginning, a year I’m unlikely to forget, both for the good and the bad. The album was recorded almost entirely in dawless mode, and then completed on a computer. It will be self-published on my new Bandcamp page, likely in early 2024, in both physical and digital formats

Chiuso il capitolo Krysalisound sono felice di darvi alcune news, per chi fosse interessato, riguardo le mie nuove produzioni musicali.
E’ appena uscito per Shimmering Moods la mia seconda collaborazione con Wil Bolton intitolato “In still water”. Qui sotto trovate il link e ancora poche copie delle fisiche.

Il prossimo anno usciranno invece altre due nuove collaborazioni: la prima già conclusa e pronta per essere pubblicata a metà 2024 da una label straniera con Nicola Fornasari (aka Xu) mentre la seconda ancora in corso d’opera con Anthony Elfort (aka Toàn) che verrà molto probabilmente pubblicato come autoproduzione appena pronto. Due collaborazioni molto differenti tra di loro ma che mi permettono come sempre di aprire gli orizzonti musicali.
Il 2024 vedrà la luce anche il mio nuovo album solista che ho temporaneamente intitolato “ While”.
Si tratta di un lavoro particolare, molto più dilatato rispetto ad “Argine”, che probabilmente sentiva già dall’inizio la pressione di un 2023 complicato che difficilmente dimenticherò nel bene e nel male. Registrato quasi interamente in dawless e poi finalizzato al computer sarà pubblicato come autoproduzione nella mia nuova pagina Bandcamp probabilmente a inizio 2024 in formato fisico e digitale.

Wil Bolton & Francis Gri “In still water” PRE-ORDER

My new collaborative album with Will Bolton is now available on Shimmering Moods store.

In the Still Water is the second collaboration between Wil Bolton and Francis Gri, following on from their album Imaginary Tales, released on Francis’ own label Krysalisound in 2022. 
Recorded again between London and Milan, these pieces were created with a range of instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, bass, synth, piano, mellotron, vibraphone, kalimba, ukulele, melodica and effects. 
The album drifts in mood between meditative and melancholy, with lyrical melodies weaving their way through hypnotic loops and richly wrought textures.
