About Me

ENGLISH:
Hi and welcome to my page!
I have an extensive background in both Classical music and electronic music technologies. After the Piano Degree I started to dedicate my spare time to hard-disk recording and Ambient & Soundtrack music. I compose unique instrumental pieces with a blend of piano, guitars, synths, bass and chill-out rhythms and arrange them to the final product.
I am an artist who writes for himself, for having a special emotion during the creative moment and when I listen to my own song. Like most visionaries, I understand that if you explore your passion, you will find other like-minded individuals along the way.
My musical vision is focused on energizing the genre of Ambient and Film Music by fusing the elements of Electronic soundscapes, Chill-out drumming and Classical Piano playing that, with a special dedication to melody and arrangement, are blended in uniquely passionate ways.
With all these elements and a part of creativity I try to achieve a unique style that is my own.
So slide back in your easy-chair and let me take you on an audio journey!
Do I create music with an audience in mind? Yes. Me. I am the audience. I want to hear things I do not hear on the radio. And I am betting there are other people out there that will like what I like.
My primary goal is to stay in touch with why I enjoy music; always thinking how to keep things fresh, daring, stylized, inventive, passionate, resonant and original.
It's not easy and I don't know if I will ever reach that goal... but just trying will be enough!
Enjoy my music!
ITALIANO:
Nato a Bergamo, si è diplomato in pianoforte dedicandosi, allo stesso tempo, alla composizione di brani di musica Neoclassica (colonne sonore, brani di pianoforte solo) e di musica elettronica.
Appassionato di home recording, cultore della bellezza del suono e degli arrangiamenti, si è dato al genere Ambient da circa quattro anni creando uno stile molto personale: l’elettronica si fonde con l’uso del pianoforte e dell’orchestra, l’impronta melodica evidente viene rafforzata dall’uso di ritmiche Chill-out.
Ha realizzato il suo primo CD “Corrado Rossi” nel 2006, dove il genere Ambient predomina ma non mancano brani “soundtrack” elettronici e con la sola presenza di pianoforte ed orchestra.
E' di prossima pubblicazione il suo nuovo CD con inedite composizioni al Pianoforte solo.
