GIULIO STERMIERI
VOLUME
Via Porro Lambertenghi 20 – Milano
Giulio Stermieri is a pianist, keyboardist and composer. His musical journey brings together his love for the African-American piano tradition and the practice of improvisation, as well as his research into timbre on his instrument and with electronics.
His work has always investigated the possible determinations of material on form, pursuing the utopia of instant composition, with the desire to honor the present time as a privileged reality within which communication between artist and recipient takes place.
These intimate beliefs are the basis of Fort Da, an album released in October 2023 by Maple Death Records, in which Stermieri explores the Farfisa organ, letting the relationship with the machine suggest new expressive trajectories, also through the practice of sampling.
From the contemplation of simple sound stratifications to an excited polyrhythmic trance, melodic fragments appear and disappear, letting the symbolic value of repetition shine through in this game.
