Synopsis

Pianist, composer, experimental techno and jazz musician, Francesco Tristano is a rigorous interpreter of the historical repertoire and an assiduous frequenter of the expressive tools offered by technology. Trained at Julliard in New York, Tristano places keyboard alongside console from DJ sets, the from concert hall alongside the club, programs of baroque, 20th and 21st century music alongside electronic experiences.

Because of the modularity of its architectures and the sonic texture created by the contrapuntal play of voices, the Baroque is often a favorite style for interpolations by contemporary musicians. The to Spoleto appointment is part of The New Bach Players, a modular, international ensemble that has to its credit the recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's complete works for piano and orchestra and several contemporary music projects. On this occasion Francesco Tristano collaborates with Italian musicians, coordinated from Ambra Chiara Michelangeli, in a program that juxtaposes three concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach with the patterns of some of Francesco Tristano's original electronic compositions and the rhythmic counterpoint of versatile German percussionist Ruven Ruppig.

Biographies

Francesco Tristano

Francesco Tristano leads a multifaceted career as a pianist, composer and producer, delving into classical and electronic music. As a classical artist, he is associated with Baroque music, particularly J.S. Bach, as well as Buxtehude and Frescobaldi. Tristan is equally to comfortable in contemporary and avant-garde music, performing the works of Luciano Berio, John Cage and Igor Stravinsky in addition to his own compositions. He signed with the iconic Deutsche Grammophon label in 2011 and has released three albums, BachCage, Long Walk (Bach/Buxtehude/Tristano, 2012) and Scandale (Stravinsky/Ravel/Tristano, 2014), with German pianist Alice Sara Ott. In the context of electronic music, Tristano is also established as a producer and artist, by virtue of his collaboration with the Berlin techno label Get Physical Music since 2014, then with the Detroit label Transmat, which released his reworking of Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Francesco Tristano also arranged, orchestrated and performed from solo on Carl Craig's album Versus (2017), with Orchestra Les Siècles conducted from François-Xavier Roth. In 2016, he launched the audiovisual show Goldberg City Variations, based on Cosmic City (by Iannis Xenakis), a futuristic urban reimagining resulting from the more than 20,000 sound oscillations that make up Bach's Goldberg Variations and declined into images from a real-time video transposition. On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth (2017), Tristano participated to a series of exhibitions and concerts curated from Ryuichi Sakamoto entitled Glenn Gould Gathering at Sogetsu Hall in Tokyo, where he performed the tribute Glenn Gould - Remodels, later released as a live album. He made his Sony Classical debut with Piano Circle Songs (2017), which includes some collaborations with Chilly Gonzales; with Tokyo Stories (2019), he expressed his musical love for his adopted city. Finally, with Tristan plays Gulda commemorated the 20th anniversary of the artist's death in January 2020. In 2018/19 Tristano collaborated with the Japanese company Yamaha to create Glenn Gould's first artificial intelligence performance algorithm, which was premiered in 2019 at the Ars Nova festival in Linz to great critical acclaim. In 2020 he was awarded the Opus Klassik in the Classical without Borders category for the album Tokyo Stories.
