Francesco Mariano

An interview with Music Composer Francesco Mariano

Posted by 1inMusic on 7 Aug 2020 in Interviews | 251 Views

Italian composer Francesco Mariano is a seasoned musician who graduated from the Conservatory in Double Bass and Electronic Music. A double bassist, he’s played in classical music orchestras such as Orchestra Toscanini and Orchestra Sinfonica Italiana alongside the likes of Pavarotti (Pavarotti and Friends in the 2001 and 2003 editions), Bono Vox, Eric Clapton, Berry White and Deep purple. A lover of early music, he plays recorders in small ensembles.

The musician moved to Prague in 2008 where he started to familiarize himself with club-based electronic music. He brought the that experience back to Italy at the Rimini and expanded it with a master degree at the University of Rome. In particular, the reading of the book by Umberto Eco, Opera Aperta, opens the way to new compositional forms, combining Computer Assisted Composition, real musical instruments (double bass, recorders, guitars, piano) and concrete sound. Francesco Mariano also approaches the soundscape composition by taking field recordings around Italy and Europe.

Alongside his many interests are visual art and in the interaction between audio and video. The musician is a Sound Designer, a Music Producer, a teacher of Music Technology at “Liceo Musicale Felice Palma” and also programmes softwares for sound synthesis. He’s embraced a wide variety of roles in different music projects, from Sound recordist to composer, from live musician to sound designer. The music spanned from classical to jazz and from electronic music to experimental. His tracks include genres such as soundscape, electroacoustic music, dance and commercial; mixing concrete sounds to electronic sounds. He uses many applications: Protools, Max Msp, Logic pro x, Ableton Live, Audiosculpt, Adobe Audition…
As a musician I can play the double bass, the recorder, the synths and the guitar. 1InMusic met with the impressive multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist and ecclectic music composer.

1inmusic: Hey Francesco, wow! Your passion for music is impressive. What makes your music so unique?

Francesco Mariano [FM]: Unique is the creative process in which you immerse yourself, as well as in the listening process when you manage to enter into a deep listening with a work. I believe they are forms of meditation.

1 In Music: Who, to you, is the most undervalued music artist?

FM: I don’t believe in evaluations so much, they leave the time we see, they weigh on characteristics that no longer have a price with pure music, listened for what it transmits. I have no heroes and I have no fans

1 In Music: How do you prepare for your performances?

FM: Every time in a different way

1 In Music: What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?
