Biography
Emiliano Pietrini is a composer and multi-instrumentalist born in Livorno, Italy, in 1973. After several experiences as a bass player, guitarist and singer in various bands from the Tuscan area mainly dedicated to psychedelic rock with noise and jazz influences (the main one was named Anima Lunatica in collaboration with the drummer Daniele Marianelli), in 2001, together with Fabrizio Barsanti - which ceased the collaboration back in 2012 - he founded and conceived the experimental musical project "Globoscuro", an emotional sculpture through the notes which molds and carves, like a river of lava, swirling sonic elements in direction of a complex and dynamic individuality albeit drawing source and inspiration from various sound contexts such as musique concrète, dark ambient, abstraction, electronic, industrial, field recordings, free jazz, psychedelia, noise and etc.
Globoscuro represents the synthesis and concreteness of a renovated "vision", at times extreme and absolutely intimate, yet soaked in the emotional matter of the universe. The notes stir, twist, intertwine in frantic dances and then embrace instants of cosmic isolationism …. ushed voluptuousness …. unconventional instruments that walk hostile while entangling sounds stolen from the poetry of life …. electro-acoustic and digital paradoxes evolving into an orchestra eager to destroy the strings of it's own violin .... Globoscuro is, in short, an extreme verb that vibrates mercilessly revealing the distressing cries of a cosmic circle consumed in a perilous path carpeted with thorns and quicksand.
As Globoscuro he published 31 albums (some of them in collaboration with other Artists) and took part in numerous compilations and collaborations with other artists for theater, live performances, art exhibitions, artistic events, video-art and short films. He is also co-founder, together with Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt and Ángel Sánchez Cervera (Braghsdn), of the recording label Hortus Conclusus Records and co-founder, together with Edoardo Pistolesi Somigli (Edø Pistø Sømi), of the experimental music project Corruttela with which he released 2 albums from 2019 to 2021 in addition to some sporadic appearances in compilations and soundtracks for videos and short films.
Starting from February 2022 he started a collaboration as a bassist player with the tuscan songwriting/folk music project "RIEGO" together with the guitarist, singer and composer Iacopo Tognarelli and the drummer and percussionist Stefano Morandini.
