Interview - making of Handpiano vol. 1

Concept:
Handpiano is a collection of albums composed and recorded in historical, spectacular locations around the world by Hollywood Film Composer/Producer/ Pianist Leo Z and world-music, International Handpan artist Davide Friello. The compositions are created from scratch on site (Chianti Hills, Sud Tiröl, Sardinia, Guatemala, Hawaii..), after Leo
and David build a temporary studio inside an outstanding acoustic and breathtaking
environment. The main instruments will be piano and handpan but the place will
inevitably influence the sound palette of their compositions.
The project includes a series of live performances and has the ambition of building a “music-lifestyle” since Leo and Davide’s personal sensibilities connect with mysticism, the beauty of nature and its healing powers. Handpiano Vol 1 (released on June 21) takes place in a 1200s Villa (Villa Casavecchia - The Antinori family country home), located in San Casciano,
nestled in the Chianti Hills, Tuscany.
