English:
Alberto Locci was born in Cagliari on November 25, 1985. BaSsically, he started his bass studies moved by the early symptomes of great passion for music, passion fed by the playful approach he had at the age of 4 to guitar and above all to drums, instrument played by his father and brother. He plays and appreciates almost any kind of music (from classic to progressive metal, passing through blues, country, new age, pop music and fusion) either playing alone or with the bands he worked with.
To him, bass is an instrument holder of the same relevance as at soloing as at its well known rhythmic function, and right on the soloist context he's focusing his efforts, shaping his style towards polifony research through the different techniques known as touchstyle, such as two handed tapping. Alberto daily keeps bass-arranging compositions originally made for other instruments, especially for piano. Nonetheless, he's never unattended drums and guitar, being both instruments which he's still tightly fond to.

Italiano:
Alberto Locci nasce a Cagliari il 25 Novembre del 1985. Si avvia allo studio del basso elettrico motivato dai primi impulsi di vera
passione per la musica,passione alimentata soprattutto dall'approccio quasi giocoso avuto all'età di 4 anni con la chitarra e soprattutto con la batteria, suonata in famiglia dal padre e dal fratello. Apprezza e suona regolarmente quasi tutti i generi (dalla classica al progressive metal passando per blues, country, new age, pop e fusion) sia da solo che nelle band di cui ha fatto parte.
Per Alberto il basso è uno strumento che riveste la stessa importanza a livello solistico di quella che ha nell'uso comune,ovvero prettamente ritmico,e proprio sull'aspetto solistico sta concentrando i suoi sforzi indirizzando il suo stile verso la ricerca della polifonia attraverso l'utilizzo delle varie tecniche di esecuzione del cosiddetto "touchstyle",come il two handed tapping. Alberto si dedica quotidianamente alla rielaborazione e arrangiamento per basso di pezzi per strumenti o insieme di strumenti di vario genere; ancora adesso non trascura batteria e chitarra, strumenti a cui è rimasto particolarmente legato.

Songs above :
Back to Life From ''Joy'', by Giovanni Allevi. I just readapted the song for ''touch'' 6 string bass. Recorded an extended audio version after all those beautiful comments left about my video version on youtube channel, so that's it, in mp3 format too! Enjoy!
Fields of Gold: Famous song composed by Sting. This is a tribute to him and to Eva Cassidy, who covered this song. We (A.L. on bass, Daniele Cadelano on vocals, Francesco Congia on acoustic guitar) actually recorded her version of the song, mainly readapted for 6 strings bass and vocals only. My bass solo was inspired by guitarist Leonardo Amuedo, who covered this song with Trijntje Oosterhuis.
