Now by Fabrizio Paterlini

In August 2012, while surfing Soundcloud, I found some really nice tunes from an artist called London-DC. I was starting to compose some material for the new album and I wanted someone to help me in adding a creative, but not invasive, layer of electronics sound to my piano lines.

So I decided to contact him, since I was really enthusiast of his way of composing electronic music - we immediately started our collaboration, exchanging ideas and sharing sounds each others.

Then I decided to add some strings arrangements: after my previous Autumn Stories album (in which few tracks had a cello playing with the piano), I always wanted to give strings more space in my piano playing and composing.

At the end, the result is this "Now" album: something slightly different from what I did with my previous releases: the sound of the piano is heavilly effected and edited, there's electronics and strings and even a track with drums (!).

I really hope you will enjoy the direction I took with this release - I certainly had fun making it.

It is fitting that composer and pianist Fabrizio Paterlini was born and lives in the ancient northern Italian city of Mantua.

A romantic and historically significant centre of musical and artistic excellence, the city’s elegance and cultural depth permeate Paterlini’s exquisite original solo piano compositions.
