Welcome to my
completely renewed website! Here you can find all information about
my music and other activities. The last decade I spent most of my
time as the composer/producer of my own music. Being able and free
to do so has resulted in some twenty albums, electronic, psychedelic
with electric guitars or a combination of those. Along the way I
built my studio, deviced an electric tampoura, made software
synthesizer plug-ins, built websites, produced some albums for and
with other people. Most of my activities were inside the studio. As
a painter and a sculptor, but with sound as his medium, and the
studio as his tool. The music I made wasn't intended for live
reproduction; it is an art form on itself.
I've jumped from heavy guitar to meditative music, always trying to
find new ways, new sounds, inside the environment I created. When I
start composing a new piece, I usually have a rough feeling, a sense
of atmosphere and colour. But no clear picture of the music. I
simply fiddle around a bit and then it starts coming, idea's start
flowing, till a point where the music itself tells me how it wants
to sound like. An amazing process, in which the whole studio becomes
a sound shaping instrument."Over the years Leonardo has created a
personal universe of organic electronic music. Being independent has
made it possible to expand his musical awareness and skills,
untouched by commercial motives. The result is an ever flowing
stream of music, meandering as a river through an imaginary
landscape.
Having a preference for the anologue sounds of the seventies this
feel is always inside the music, although time has catched up and
integrated the sounds of today as well.
Sometimes flowing into a gentle meditative state, other times active
with sequences pounding away, layered with harmonies and outerspace
sound effects."
