Exoplanets
More from Giovanni…
I decided to create a space-themed piano solo album. My main goal was to search deep within myself and find a style that wasn’t dictated by what was popular or in demand. I was determined to let my instinct guide the writing 100%. So, I sat at my piano and started playing. After a few minutes, the music started to flow effortlessly from my fingers, and to my ears, it sounded new and exciting.
I could describe Exoplanets as a post-modern piano solo album, or call it neo-classical, minimalistic, or new-objectivistic. But to me, Exoplanets is simply the musical reflection of my soul.
Each of the 12 pieces was inspired by a unique exoplanet—planets that orbit suns other than our own. Once the writing was complete, I knew I had something special. But it wasn’t until the incredible Romanus Records picked it up for release that I truly felt I had done something right.
The album, mastered by @johnehartley, will release on August 17 2024 via Romanus Records. With a Space Dust edition filled with genuine asteroid dust, it’s literally going to be out of this world!
