About Me

Hi, I'm Luzzo! I'm a guitar player, composer and sound engineer (mostly sound engineer, lately...). I'm from Italy but I've been living in Paris for almost ten years now. Here you can listen to some of the tunes I wrote and produced on my computer, but I also play many differnts styles, from jazz, folk, reggae, funk...


THE TRAIN is a tune I wrote because I wanted to play something with my classical guitar and I wanted it to sound like some kind of sountrack or soundscape. In addition, I like to play weird meters, like the 5/4 of this tune.


I recorded RING OF FIRE for a Johnny Cash' covers contest. The original version is in G major but I turned it in E minor and, instead of the mariachi flavour of the original version, I looked for a quiet and large atmosphere, like cowboys talking around a campfire in the desert (wow!). I also wanted to play slide guitar though I'm not so good at it. I didn't win the contest.
