People with formal classical training tend to have very restricted ideas about what music is, and can be very limited by that. I know people in the DSO [Detroit Symphony Orchestra] and their concept of perfection is basically to learn a written piece of work exactly. Francesco is a new kid with a completely modern approach. He has different influences. Most importantly, he has a desire to improvise, which is unusual for someone who was formally trained. It´s important that he has a great, wide-ranging knowledge of music he knows classical music, but he´s also heavily into electronic stuff, and the history of electronic music. He´s like me, I love everything as well, everything that´s great.

Francesco is the kind of artist that makes you the think of composers from another era such as Herald Budd,Brian Eno,Ryuich Sakamoto & Juan Atkins I realize this is a very interesting mix of artist I just mentioned but the music of Francesco is far from predictable and miles from his contemporaries,that's if he has any to begin with.. I myself love this production which I personally think is a breath of fresh air...bravo to you Francesco you remind me of why it's important to dream the dream's of dreamers! Your music is breath of fresh air.

An absolutely beautiful piece of music that is head and shoulders above a lot of what is labelled so called dance music out there. Deep
