Music

Sound research on frame drums, where acoustic instruments meet electronics — and the records that came out of it, from the first solo album to the duo work and the live-electronics project.

Official music video, featuring Stefano Cianti. The opening track of Rōnin.

Released by Andrea Piccioni & Cafè de Anatolia.

Francesco Loccisano and Andrea Piccioni: battente guitar and frame drums, twelve tracks.

The Shuluq Ensemble record, with the voice of Karima Skalli. Nine tracks around the figure of Ibn Hamdis, the Arab-Sicilian poet from Syracuse who left the island in the eleventh century and spent his life singing its absence: Sicily as the point where two shores touch. Maremosso, Siciliana and La Ballade Méditerranéenne come from this record — the videos. Visage Music.

Eight tracks for frame drum and voice.

The second record by the Masters of Frame Drums quartet, with Glen Velez, Zohar Fresco and Murat Coşkun. Nine tracks.

Eleven tracks with Glen Velez, Zohar Fresco and Murat Coşkun: the record of the quartet of the same name. Four different schools of frame drumming — North American, Israeli, Turkish and Italian — inside one ensemble.

Italian dance music for bagpipes and percussion, with Goffredo Degli Esposti: zampogna zoppa, zampogna a chiave, piva, Renaissance sordellina and double flute on one side; tamburelli, tammorra and silent tammorra, castanets, sgnacchere, triangle and marranzano on the other. Guest Mosè Chiavoni on soprano sax and bass clarinet. Sixteen tracks: the dance repertoire played on the instruments that always carried it.

Eight tracks — the earliest of these records, and the one the rest grew out of.
