Pianosa Debuts Album Dogana (Delle Emoizioni Altrui)



New York, NY– Florence native Simone Pomposi (better known on stage as Pianosa) has had music running through his veins throughout his entire life. “It’s always been a part of my life,” explains the artist, “So, at some point I decided, ‘Why not?’” At age eleven, he began playing electric bass and dabbling in a variety of genres; from funk to fusion, jazz and progressive rock. No matter the genre, however, Pomposi has always kept it simple: pulling from the melodies and rhythms and textures of life to create a sound one might call “ambient music.”
In 2011, Pomposi made the move to New York and decided to pursue his passion wholeheartedly. His debut album, entitled Dogana (Delle Emoizioni Altrui – Italian for “Customs of other people’s emotions”) was released in the summer of 2016. The album is authentic and refreshing, and was recorded live with a simple setup, a modular synthesizer, an analog monophonic synthesizer, and a drum machine with delay and reverb effects. With minimal editing and production, the album is a work of raw authenticity, each error and ambient noise adding to the songs’ beauty. Notes are repeated in succession, with the sound changing and evolving, giving the listener a perspective of “organized chaos.” The album is named for the transformation the audience experiences – they go through a “metaphorical customs, both physically and metaphorically.”
Dogana (available on all digital platforms) leaves something for every listener, and pulls each person in with its genuine and transformative qualities.
